Hummingbird House sits 100
feet above sea level at Pigeon Point, English
Harbour, catching the gentle and cooling trade winds
breeze and enjoying magnificent views over Pigeon
Beach and Falmouth Beach, out towards Montserrat and
the Caribbean sea beyond.
Pigeon Point is a quiet and small,
medium to high end residential community. Some
houses are used as holiday villas, the others as
permanent residences.
Set in almost an acre of tropical
gardens and bordered to the south by the hills of
the National Park, Hummingbird House is totally
private, yet only a 3 min walk from idyllic Pigeon
Beach.
To the Antigua Yacht Club Marina with
its shops, supermarket, restaurants, bars, tennis
courts, sailing operators and dive shops it's a mere
5 - 10 min walk. To historic Nelson's Dockyard with
its museum, shops, restaurants, bank and post office
it's also only a 5 - 10 min walk.
»Villa Details
Hummingbird House is a spacious 5
bedroom, 5 bathroom villa on 2 levels with private pool,
which has completed a major renovation in April 2010.
The original Hummingbird House was
sold and the new owners with the help of renowned
English architect Andrew Goodenough has been
transformed to one of the most stunning high end
villas in Antigua.
Hummingbird House is a wonderful
blend of Colonial style with contemporary living.
The house is kept in neutral colors, which creates a
clean and relaxed feel.
The front door opens into an entrance
hall with wide stairs leading up to the main living
area, the verandah and the magnificent views of the
bay beyond.
The main living space measures 40 ft
x 20 ft with high vaulted ceiling, and includes
living with comfortable sofas, indoor dining for up
to 12 and an open plan kitchen with a breakfast bar
for 5.
Also on the main upper floor you will
find the master bedroom and one of the guest
bedrooms.
4 sets of French doors open out onto
the full length west-facing verandah, which offers
comfortable outdoor seating for 10 as well as a
breakfast table and chairs. Off the verandah
you will find a delightful gazebo, which provides
the main outdoor dining area with a circular table
for up to 12.
On the ground floor you have the
remaining 3 guest bedrooms with their en suite
bathrooms.
The large private pool (40 ft x 18
ft) with its 8 sun loungers plus 2 "steamer" chairs
with 2 large parasols is located just down the steps
off the gazebo.
Enjoy a sundowner on your west-facing
pool deck, as the sun drops over Montserrat in the
distance. Or relax on the verandah and watch the
coming and going of some of the world's most
luxurious yachts or simply the endless visits of
hummingbirds and other tropical birds to the lush
gardens.
