Khok kloi 1 :
The property is a Colonial style, single storey dwelling
designed for people in their mature years. The house size
2,066sq.metres and consists of 3 bedrooms, all en suite.
Bedroom 1 & 2 are the same size 27sq.m (including the
bathroom) with an inter-
connecting door as well as a door directly to the outside
covered walkway.
They both have fitted built in wardrobes with full length double
mirrors.
The master bedroom is huge – 42sq.m (excluding the bathroom)
and the bathroom
is 6.5sq.m. There is also a walk in wardrobe cum storage area of
6.25sq.m
leading off the bedroom. There is a full size fitted wall mirror
in the walk
in wardrobe.
Between bedroom 2 and the master bedroom there is an office
3.5m x 2.5m
(8.75sq.m).
The lounge/dining room is 7m x 6m (42sq.m) with the kitchen
leading off that.
The lounge has tinted glass sliding doors to two sides (see
floor plan) as well
as net doors so that the house can remain ‘open’ to all the
fresh air during
the night.
The kitchen is fitted with purpose made limed teak units with
large drawers.
The counter is tiled and the kitchen floor is fitted with
special non-slip
tiles. The kitchen is fitted with a 4 ring hob (3 gas and one
electric) and an
eye level oven with storage above. Floor size is 4.5m x 2.5m.
This is a great
kitchen to work in because the worktops are 90cm deep rather
than the usual
60cm so there is plenty of room.
Leading off the lounge is the huge veranda 8.5m x7m
(59.5sq.m) which is used
as the living area during the daytime. This has a special
feature of a huge
granite stone in one corner with a fish tank.
The laundry room is attached to the kitchen externally and is
approached from
the veranda. This is 2.5mx2.5m
All the rooms in the house have air conditioning. The house
has tiled
flooring throughout, and all the exterior wooden doors are solid
teak doors. All
ceilings throughout the house are 4.5 metres at the apex and are
lined with
bamboo. The effect is stunning. The house is very easy to keep
clean.
The 8m x 4m swimming pool is a few steps off the veranda.
This is a Des
Joyeaux swimming pool and the filtration system is all in the
white box forming
the diving board. It is an absolutely efficient system and easy
to maintain.
The company, Des Joyeaux, have a travelling shop which calls
twice a month with
accessories and chemicals.
Surrounding the pool and to the front of the veranda the area
is sand washed.
In one corner there is a feature outdoor pool shower and to the
right of the
shower (about 4m) (see site layout) is an under cover BBQ area
with two fire
areas. The BBQ is brick built and designed by the owners, the
top is tiled and
there is an electrically operated rotary spit.
There are two wells. The second well was drilled last year,
which was the
driest year in 50 years, and the well reaches the water table.
The original
well is 14m deep (with a deep well pump) and was hand dug, the
new one
is 19.5m deep and was drilled and has a submersible pump. Both
wells work in
conjunction with each other and fill the 3000L tank in the water
tower attached
to the back of the garage. This is gravity fed to the house and
garden outlets
with great success.
There is a large storeroom as an integral part of the garage,
and the 3mx3m
room below the water tower, which is also an integral part of
the garage
building, is the workshop area.
The gardens are mature and well maintained. No expense has
been spared in
creating this wonderland. To the rear of the property the owners
have planted
fruit trees – mango, papaya, mangostine, limes and tangerines.
The entire property is surrounded by walls and flowering
hedges offering total
seclusion.
