The kitchen boasts commercial grade stainless steel appliances and a farmhouse sink Caribbean Sea, which can be enjoyed from many vantage points on the property. The stately main house can accommodate eight in four bedrooms while a two-bedroom cottage, the former Carriage House, conveniently houses another two bedrooms. The house has been updated to a very high standard with furnishings and fittings purchased and collected from across Europe, America and the West Indies. The furniture strikes a collected and cohesive harmony; a mix of antiques and classics with select Asian pieces. A grand mahogany staircase leads up to the bedrooms on the top floor. Here, the master bedroom has a private terrace and full-length windows. A sumptuous en suite bathroom features fine fittings with a giant sunken bath as the ultimate indulgence. Three additional bedrooms, one of them en suite, open onto a shared terrace overlooking the gardens and restored mill wall. The fully converted mill now houses a charming downstairs bar while a gallery at the top, accessed via spiraling mahogany steps, offers outstanding, panoramic views. Downstairs the dining and sitting rooms have exposed wooden Steps from the house and under the shade of a majestic Bearded Fig tree the owners have constructed an expansive deck with built in seating. Here a long, tiled island complete with a sink and large grill is the perfect spot for cocktail parties at sunset or terrific outdoor barbeques.
