Built in 1918, quite the most extraordinarily lovely home behind towering, stone-clad walls. This magnificent heritage property is set in a breathtakingly beautiful garden with rolling lawns, lush foliage and majestic trees, and even still has the original well to water the horses! Under the trees, a shaded entertainment area overlooks the pool - wonderful for lazy lunches and evening sundowners - or select the peaceful gazebo at the bottom of the garden for quiet conversations, or perhaps the patio with braai area, overlooking the large pond with water feature.
With character features such as pressed ceilings, rich wood finishes, lead-glass windows and Oregon flooring, this remarkable home offers a blend of historic and modern amenities, creating a truly special living space - a superb family home, stunning offices, a luxury guest house, or a spectacular, intimate function venue.
The regal entrance takes you down a wide passage, with high ceilings and vast storage cupboards. The study, richly-adorned with exquisite wood panelling, provides a tranquil retreat for work or relaxation. Two generously-sized living rooms - one the family ''chill'' room, and the other the formal sitting room, both with beautiful wood features and fireplaces. With a wall of windows set between stone-clad pillars, the interleading dining-room overlooks and leads out to the patio and garden.
With fabulous finishes and quirky cupboards, the kitchen is light and bright with a huge centre island for social chats and family meals, an Elba stove with gas (bottled) hob and electric oven, and leads out to a large, sunny central back courtyard.
Behind a strong security gate, the bedroom area includes the spacious main en suite bedroom, with walk-through dressing area, overlooking the beautiful garden. Two further spacious bedrooms, each have their own separate full bathroom.
Accessed via the courtyard, the large cottage, comprised of an expansive living area and kitchenette, an enclosed patio, and spacious en suite bedroom, is perfect for extended family, as a guest suite, or separate work space.
