“The Slipps,” Navy Gardens, Christ Church*

Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the centre of the South Coast, this 4-bed, 3½ bathroom home is ideal for hosting large parties or dinners with expansive grounds and spacious areas for children’s or pet’s entertainment.

The house was built in 1999 and has been a single family home since then.  Overlooking Wanderer’s Cricket Ground, the “home” of Sir Garfield Sobers, Jason Holder, current West Indies captain Kraigg Braithwaite and many past and present West Indies cricketers. Wanderer’s is also the oldest cricket club in Barbados, the second oldest cricket club in the Caribbean and one of only two clubs in the world sporting “Old Father Time” as their mascot– the other being Lord’s Cricket Ground in England.

The ground floor is designed on open-plan principles featuring high ceilings with crown moulding throughout, spacious indoor and outdoor living, entertainment and dining areas, a large kitchen with lots of storage and walk-in pantry, a laundry room and adjacent store room and separate staff bathroom.  On this level there is also a separate office with adjacent storeroom and a den situated off the kitchen.  The property has a covered double-car garage.

The first floor features a large en-suite master bedroom with a walk-in closet.  The en-suite bathroom features a large Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, discreet wc and double vanity sinks.  The guest bedroom is also en-suite with built-in closets.  There are two other bedrooms which share a full bathroom with a tub/shower.  Large windows in three of the bedrooms overlook the swimming pool and the cricket field.

The property sits on over half an acre of land and is actually two plots with the house occupying 1 plot.  The gardens are beautifully manicured and there is a small, mature orchard.
