Fully renovated historic Galle Fort villa

$1,500,000

place Galle Fort

size 15 perch

Superb four-bedroomed Galle Fort villa with the classic courtyard layout so typical of Fort’s heritage merchants’ houses.

Located in the heart of Fort but benefitting from being on a quiet side street, the villa has a huge high-ceilinged principal reception room opening onto the courtyard. The property is arranged over two floors and has four generously sized ensuite bedrooms.  There is a secondary staff/service. entrance via the kitchen.

The house has been renovated to a high standard twice in the last 30 years. In 1990, there was some remodelling work to open up spaces and create larger rooms.  In 2013 further remodelling was done including the pouring of first floor slabs to create what is now the master bedroom above the living room,  and the fourth bedroom above the kitchen. At the same time the roof was replaced with new joinery, and new floors were laid throughout. Also the whole property was rewired including the addition of both a/cs and ceiling fans to all rooms.

Huge potential as a permanent home, a pied-a terre, or a holiday rental.
