property in phuket

Once a quiet sea side village, Kamala has grown into a bustling town with many restaurants, bars and an ever increasing number of good quality residential properties, one of which is this week’s Pick of the Crop.

The concept is simple and the formula works, an L-shape design, with a swimming pool in the centre.

Set on two levels, it’s clean, crisp and very functional.

From the outside, the perimeter wall is lined with tall green planting which provides security, but with a softened look.

The Balinese style roof tops give the villa character and contrasts well with the white exterior.

The downstairs living area is all purpose, encompassing the kitchen, dining, relaxation and maid’s room.

The kitchen is pure class, featuring high gloss white cabinets accompanied by an array of top of the range appliances, including a microwave, an oven, a range hood and a huge stainless steel fridge.

A handy serving counter with bar stools completes the look.

The dining area will seat eight people comfortably, with sliding doors on either side to allow fresh air to flow though whilst eating.

Relaxing in the lounge area is made easy, with a large sofa and soft lighting system.

A feature wall has built-in cabinets big enough to handle even the largest of TV and
audio equipment.

Upstairs, there are three beautiful bedrooms, each with raised ceilings, built-in wardrobes, luxurious wooden floors and well appointed en-suite bathrooms.

The master bedroom has the added advantage of a giant bath to relax in.

Each bedroom comes come with its own balcony from where you can admire the surrounding mountain views.

Every room in the villa has a view over the large swimming pool, which provides sparkling hints of blues to this jewel of a property.

The rest of the outside includes various tropical plantings and a nice garden.

Nearby attractions include three stunning beaches, Kamala, Laem Sing and Surin.

There is also a large outdoor market, convenience stores and the glitter strip of Patong is only a 10 minute drive away.

The living areas in this villa are very generous, with a total internal space of 288sqm and an external area measuring 248sqm.

All the furniture, fixtures and fittings are included in the asking price of 17,500,000 baht.

The overall build quality, materials used and finish is of a high standard.

Ownership is easy and secure, and you can own the freehold of this property in your own name, with the land on a lease agreement of 30+30+30 years.
