This atmospheric villa is located on the banks of the Bentota River and has a unique revolutionary theme, reflected in the striking paintings of characters such as Mao Zedong and John Lennon, and a home-from-home feel. Fronted by an antique wooden door, the ground floor of the villa has a comfortable living area – which is furnished with sofas, antique pieces, a large flat-screen TV, home theatre system and a good collection of DVDs and books – and a dining area with a long banquet table and open sides so you can enjoy the cool breeze. The villa has five bedrooms including a grand master suite, which has views, through glass doors, to the river beyond. The swimming pool sits in the centre of the property on the edge of the garden, and the surrounding wooden decking extends to the river edge. This is a lovely place to sit in the early evening with a drink in hand and also the perfect spot to hop onto a boat, doughnut or jet-ski for some exhilarating water-sports.
