Red Barracks

We are privileged to offer this historic building known as Red Barracks, rightly named, as the property once housed a barracks of Red Coats in the 18th century under the command of King George II. Red Barracks now takes its place as part of a family estate in St. Georges standing among lovely gardens, which include a vegetable garden, rose garden and a small farm yard of chickens and geese. Recently a new chinese garden and spectacular gate has been added. Red Barracks itself has its own private gardens which have a tranquil Asian feel. Entering through the welcoming arms veranda in to the spacious kitchen and dining area your eyes are immediately drawn upwards to the exposed old cedar rafters. which are a complete contrast to the modern stainless steel kitchen. The comfortable sitting room overlooking the ocean is filled, like the rest of the house, with special eastern design accents. There are two (King) double bedrooms and bathrooms on the lower ground floor together with an office study area . One of the King beds can be changed to 2 twin beds.  The wide verandas which run around the entire house are one of the strongest features of the house and guests will enjoy many hours relaxing and dining in this wonderful space. With the ocean right on your doorstep you can swim from the dock or the small beach. Also having the convenience of being able to walk in to the historic town of St Georges - a natural 18th century town with narrow streets and wonderfully preserved 300 year old cottages - it was recognized as a WORLD HERITAGE SITE by UNESCO in 2000. With its boutique shops and restaurants nearby, this makes an ideal vacation home for someone who is looking for a stay in what is certainly a unique home. Two chargers for the Twizy electric cars have recently been added at this property.   Contact lburns@brcl.bm for bookings.
