1-Bed Garden Villa

A small development of eight one bedroom pool villas tucked just off Soi Bond Kai in Bang Rak, on the north east corner of the island. They are newly completed and finished, not sold off a plan, and each one is handed over fully furnished and ready to live in or let from the day the keys change hands. Every villa has its own private plunge pool of three by two metres set into a walled garden, with the garden size varying by unit from 12 sqm up to 52 sqm. Inside, 36 sqm of open plan living runs from a fully fitted kitchen with a gas hob and electric oven through to the sitting and dining area, with a double bedroom and a bathroom with a walk in shower off it. A 12 sqm private terrace sits between the living space and the pool, and there is a further 18 sqm of attic storage above, which is more useful than it sounds on a one bedroom villa. The furniture package is complete rather than token: bed, mattress and bedding, wardrobe, a 55 inch smart TV, Bluetooth speakers, sofa and coffee table, a dining table and four chairs, and a kitchen stocked down to the pots, pans, plates and cutlery. High speed internet and a smart door lock are fitted. The developer offers pool cleaning, gardening, interior cleaning and guest management, so the villas work as a hands off holiday let as readily as a private bolthole. Bang Rak puts you minutes from the airport, Fisherman's Village and the Big Buddha, which is the right side of the island for short lets. Seven of the eight villas remain. Held on a thirty year lease, with a monthly maintenance charge of 4,000 to 4,800 THB depending on the unit.
