Located inside the historic 300 year old Dutch Fort this is a large 5 bedroom house beautifully restored by interior designer Charles Hulse.
Deriving its name from its previous incarnation as the home of the Ambassador to Bangaldesh this grand house is set back from the narrow Dutch street and has a columned entrance with off-street parking and a small front lawn.
Entering the house through the high ceiling sitting room festooned with deep and comfortable sofas and objects d'art you arrive at a small inner garden courtyard which separates this front part of the house from the bedrooms and swimming pool.
Adjoining the dining room and kitchen is a small TV area that looks into the front garden contaning the long lap pool. 3 bedrooms overlook this swimming pool, all with ensuite bathrooms. At the far end stone steps lead up to a partially covered roof terrace with views over the roof tops of the historic Fort. The master suite and a further bedroom have private access to this roof terrace.
The house comes with a cook and steward as well as room ladies.
Ambassador's is a large house, great for families and groups of friends with enough seating places to find a quiet spot in case of need.
