Outline
Peradeniya House, for a property so close to the heart of Kandy, is unique in scale and style. With interiors running to 12,000 square feet it offers 6 ensuite bedrooms as well as a stand-alone guest apartment with a further 3 bedrooms.
Originally the home of a Scottish planter, the attention to detail in its restoration is evident in every room. Antique brass fittings and carefully chosen pieces complement a more contemporary and minimalist design aesthetic.
Sitting on two acres that look to the hills surrounding Kandy, the property is ideal as an extensive family home or would easily convert to a commercial space as boutique hotel or retreat space.

Location
Peradeniya sits on the outskirts of Kandy-proper, around 10 minutes drive to the centre of the city.
The Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya remain one of the primary attractions of Kandy for tourists and locals.
Drive times between Colombo and Kandy are decreasing as stages of the Central Expressway are completed. The eventual completion of the route will cut drive time to around 2 hours.
Infrastructure
The current owner has installed a 12kw solar power system, meaning electricity bills are effectively nill.
A tubewell also provides consistent clean water, again at no cost.
