Comments:
A
modest sized house with floors
tiled throughout. Built in 1993 by its English owner, who resides in
the UK but visits periodically for a few winter months, who occupied a
small apartment below the house till returning permanently to the UK in
2016. It is now occupied by the groundsman. There is hot water to one
shower only, no insect screens to windows, though 3 nets are available
to hang over beds at night if required. There are stand fans but no
A/C, though all bedrooms, having east facing louvred windows, are
usually breezy & cool. A tranquil setting enjoying an excellent
view of the the coast stretching southwards & beautiful sunsets
over the Caribbean Sea. Enjoy a quiet walk or drive along the
Macoucherie River valley (short trail to Hobs Hole waterfall) & up
Macoucherie Hill. A 15 minute walk to the shops of Salisbury. At nearby
Salisbury beach fish may be bought from local fishermen and scuba
diving can be arranged with the East Carib Dive Club, where you may
relax at their beach bar and daytime restaurant, Chez La Douche.
Approx. 100 yards from the house is the Tamarind Tree Restaurant. A
private road leads to the main coast road (Portsmouth 35 min., Roseau
30 min., Melville Hall Airport 1 hour, Canefield Airport 20 min.) A
good central location, convenient for the natural attractions of the
Layou River, Morne Diablotin National Park, Syndicate Trail, Indian
River & Cabrits National Park. Good for snorkelling in the
surrounding area.
Wifi internet.
