Lancashire Lodge On Granaway Deep

Bermuda’s Harbour Road meanders, bordered by old stone walls and pink oleanders, closely hugging Hamilton Harbour as it heads west from the City of Hamilton. Postcard perfect, it has been described as the island’s answer to the Amalfi Coast. Bermudian and International homeowners alike love it for its picturesque scenery, convenient ferry service, splendid waterfront homes, active boating scene, and glowing sunsets. Here, nestled along the shoreline of Granaway Deep, is Lancashire Lodge. For boaters, this estate is ideal. Through a moon gate, at the end of the wide lawn and allée of palms, the jetty leads to dock and mooring offering truly deep water, while a smaller dock with davit on Turtle Cove hosts watercraft nearer the home. For those who value privacy, yet do not wish to live remotely, Lancashire Lodge’s setting is also extraordinary. Then there are the amazing water views. As one visitor so aptly described, the views here are ’like having a masterpiece in every room’. And for those who seek move-in ready condition, Lancashire shines especially bright. The kitchen is new with a generous center island and access to a dining veranda overlooking Turtle Cove. The cedar- beamed living room, which includes a gas fireplace and beautiful hardwood floors, enjoys access to the veranda as well as a verdant courtyard with pavilion, fountain and koi pond. Hardwood floors also feature in the formal dining room and throughout the residence. Though double-storey, Lancashire Lodge is a home in which one can reside on a single level. The capacious main-floor master bedroom suite is simply sublime with a private veranda and those glorious water vistas and sunsets. The first of three additional bedroom suites is also found on the main level, along with a convenient built-in office alcove. Downstairs, wide halls with French doors to terraces lead to a firelit library, a slate-floored family/game room, an exercise room, a wine closet, and two more generous guest bedroom suites with private terraces. Out-of-doors, the gardens are thoughtfully and colourfully planted. A cottage workshop with WC, a generator room, a garage, and the sweeping driveway with abundant parking add practicality to this meticulously maintained estate.
