Panoramic
sea views from large character thatch, Trafalagar..
Panoramic
sea views, an authentic character home and arguably the most
sought
after
address in the vibrant village of Trafalgar.
From
its elevated position, the Indian Ocean literally feels like the
eastern boundary
of
the property.
Offering
amazing appeal from the entrance gate, this is a mere glimpse of
the sheer
scale
and complexity of this magnificent gentleman's residence.
Sitting
proudly in lush well maintained sub-tropical gardens, the
ambience is one of
immaculate
planning, dividing the garden into rooms.
One
of the rooms encompasses the swimming pool terrace complete with
sun deck
and
shade giving thatch lapa.
From
the remote access gate, a paved driveway leads down to the
double automated
garages
attached to the home. These garages have direct access to the
home, an
absolute
bonus during the wet season.
Imposing
double front doors, under the entrance portico, open into the
main body
of
reception rooms of this large thatch home.
These
reception rooms in a bygone era would be referred to as a
"great room".
They
nestle under an absolutely awe inspiring expanse of high beamed
thatch
roofing.
Split
on two levels, the entrance level plays host to an L-shaped open
plan room.
Again,
like the garden, this open plan space is cleverly zoned for
different functions.
One
leg of the L hosts the dining room, the other leg of the L hosts
a spacious
TV/
snug room, with the kitchen being the room that joins them both.
All
three of these reception rooms look over the gallery railing
down into a seriously
large
formal lounge.
Off
the formal lounge, a large wooden deck offers a place from which
to stop and
enjoy
the panoramic sea views.
Mention
has to be made of the kitchen. Beautifully appointed, the shaker
style
cupboards
with granite tops, recessed cooking range and treated quarry
tile floors
all
keep the ambience whilst cleverly concealing that fact the space
is a very
modern
gourmet's delight.
Additionally,
off the kitchen is a separate scullery and laundry room
facility.
An
absolute bonus off the kitchen is a deep all weather covered
breakfast patio.
This
cleverly designed space enjoys a cool high thatch roof and
enough space
for
a family sized "Al Fresco" dining table.
Down
one level, at the formal lounge, a private study offers a
tranquil room
for
reflection or work.
A
guest suite of bedroom and en suite bathroom with slipper bath
and private patio
complete
the footprint of the lowest level of the 4 storey home.
Back
up on the entrance level, sleeping quarters comprise a further
two double
bedrooms,
both en suite facilities.
The
main bedroom on this level, offers stunning panoramic sea views
not only
from
the private patio, but in point of fact, literally from the
pillow.
A
sumptuous full en suite bathroom has slipper bath, shower, basin
and toilet.
Up
a floor is the last of the bedroom suites. Set up in the loft,
this spacious
bedroom
has an ambience of being in the eaves looking out to sea.
As
with the other three bedrooms, this loft room is also an en
suite facility.
An
absolute bonus to the home is a large bedroom and en suite
bathroom above
the
double garages.
On
a double stand of about 4000sqm, with 400sqm under thatch, the
hallmark of
this
home are the views, top drawer fixtures and fittings and a
complete dedication
to
the tranquil ambience the home demands.
Of
course, the most sought after street address in the entire
village only adds to
the
alure.
