Accommodation

This property, believed to be over 200 years old, has just been renovated to a high standard by a local specialist and is now one of the most imposing traditional houses in old Maroni village.  Situated in an elevated position on the south side of the old village, it has a covered area of 160m2 and enjoys extensive views down the valley to the sea, some 3km away.

Access is from St George Street through a wooden gate into the secluded walled garden, with the house to the left.  The building is U shaped, with the main entrance to the living room on the right, the kitchen straight ahead, dining room to the left and stone steps to the upper terrace to the extreme left.

Double glazed doors lead into the spacious living room, which is approx 10m long, with 2 sets of windows overlooking the garden, exposed wooden beams and a tiled floor.  The living room is wired for wall lights, TV, telephone and A/C. At the far end is an entrance to the kitchen and stone steps leading to the first floor.

The spacious kitchen has been tastefully fitted with off-white Swedish units, woodblock work surface with porcelain sink and comes complete with a ceramic hob, eye level oven, hood extractor, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.  The kitchen overlooks the garden and has exposed beams, tiled floor and is wired for A/C.

Off the kitchen is a room that can be a separate dining room or a third bedroom, as it has an adjacent bathroom with shower, sink and WC. The dining room has double glazed doors opening onto a terrace, a tiled floor and is wired for A/C.

The internal steps from the lounge lead to a small landing with 3 doors.  The first is to the master bedroom suite, with the bedroom looking out through double glazed doors onto the stone paved upper terrace and the valley views beyond.  A door at the far end leads to the dressing room that has fitted wardrobes 3.5m long by 2.3m high.  Through the dressing room is the large and elegant en suite bathroom that is fully tiled, with bath, WC, vanity sink unit and a large shower unit with double glass doors.  The entire master bedroom suite has tiled floors, plaster ceiling with sunken spotlights and is wired for A/C, TV and telephone.  The second door off the landing is to the second bedroom suite, which has a glazed door out to the upper terrace and a window overlooking the valley to the sea. The half tiled bathroom has a shower unit, sink and WC.  The suite has a fitted wardrobe, tiled floors and is wired for TV, telephone and A/C.

Also off the landing is a small room suitable for a study or baby’s room or for storage.

The house has been fitted with a pressurised water system, solar panels and an immersion heater for hot water.  The roof has been insulated and the electricity is three phase, to cope with modern demands.  All joinery is handmade from Swedish timber and all windows and external doors are double glazed.

Outside

The upper terrace of some 16m2 is connected to the ground floor via external stone steps and has extensive views down to the sea.  Beneath the upper terrace is the ground floor covered terrace of the same size, which is tiled in the same tiles as the lounge, making it an extension to the living area.

The garden is split level, with the top half paved in local stone and a few shrubs in planter areas.  Stone steps lead down to the lower portion that has been left unpaved, so that it can be cultivated or have a pool installed.  The whole area has had an irrigation system installed to service existing shrubs and any future needs.
