Nestled within a lush, one-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac in Prior Park, St. James, Highpark House is a beautifully renovated 6-bedroom residence that seamlessly blends modern updates with timeless Barbadian charm. Thoughtfully extended and fully modernized by its current owners, this elegant home retains much of its original character while offering contemporary comforts.
A Rich History & Prime Location
Originally built by the Gill family over 60 years ago, Highpark House was designed to withstand hurricanes, a decision influenced by the impact of Hurricane Janet in 1955. Its elevated position was carefully chosen to maximize sea views and cooling breezes, making it a private yet well-connected retreat just minutes from Barbados’ West Coast amenities.
Spacious & Elegant Interior
The main floor features an inviting open-plan living and dining area that flows into a custom-built contemporary kitchen with a breakfast bar—perfectly positioned to capture stunning sea views. Four of the six bedrooms are located on this level, including the expansive master suite with its own walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, and breathtaking ocean vistas. Two additional ensuite bedrooms offer dressing areas, while the fourth bedroom is uniquely designed with custom-built bunk beds, storage, and a built-in bookcase—ideal for siblings. A vintage-style guest bathroom, incorporating original fittings, completes the upper level.
Lower Level & Outdoor Living
The lower floor houses two additional bedrooms with garden views and large, low windows that allow for a constant cool breeze. These rooms share a spacious modern bathroom. Nearby, a fully equipped laundry room overlooks the kitchen garden and includes a large storage cupboard.
For those who love indoor-outdoor living, the triple-aspect living room opens onto a covered patio, complete with a formal dining area, full wet bar, and views of the private pool and deck.
Expansive Grounds with Endless Potential
The grounds of Highpark House are beautifully landscaped with mature trees and feature:
* A formal front lawn—perfect for entertaining or a game of croquet
* A kitchen garden for fresh, homegrown produce
* A play & adventure area for children
* A large cellar with conversion potential for additional living space or a wine cellar
Additional storage rooms offer convenience, while historical touches—such as wood floors salvaged from the plantation home of the original builder and an over 100-year-old guest entrance gate rescued from the Waterfront Cafe in Bridgetown—give the home unparalleled character.
A Rare Opportunity
Highpark House is being offered unfurnished, though select pieces that contribute to its unique charm may be available for purchase.
With its prime location in upper St. James, this one-of-a-kind home offers a rare chance to own a fully renovated Barbadian plantation-style family residence, just minutes from the island’s best beaches, shopping, and dining. A truly exceptional place to call home.
