5 Bedroom House in Hurlingham Manor

Looking straight on to St Stithians, this wonderful family house in Saints Manor has a big, very beautiful garden that was designed by Keith Kirsten and incorporates the forest on the other side of the wall so that it seems as though one is in a beautiful, bird-filled garden that stretches forever. There is a gate directly into St Stithians (where it is great for jogging, walking, getting back to nature and mountain biking on the extensive grounds). In summer, the large patio becomes the main living area where braais are enjoyed and memories made-all while being part of the outdoors.

All of the rooms in the house have lovely views onto the garden-here you feel as though you are part of your lovely outdoor environment. On the upper level are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom has a dressing room with a lot of inbuilt cupboard space and an en-suite spacious bathroom with a double basin, bath and bidet. The big window has sun streaming through it in winter and a great view. There is underfloor heating in the main bedroom area.

The lowest level has a tenant flat with its own entrance that fetches R8000pm. It also has an electricity meter. It has two bedrooms and a large lounge with windows looking onto the garden. Sunlight streams in through this huge window during winter. There is also a bathroom with a bath and a shower and a small kitchen. This is perfect for guests or as a rental.

The middle level (it is a split level house) has the entrance hall, a large patio, a beautiful lounge, dining room and a big kitchen with plenty of cupboard space, a Defy oven and a four-plate, inbuilt stove. There is also a scullery. Outside the kitchen are the raised herb gardens. The lounge has a large picture window and a sliding door and a fireplace.

There is a double garage with a small storeroom and also a carport. Behind the house are raised gardens that can become incredibly productive vegetable gardens. The driveway is large with space for three cars and the gate is motorised.

In the staff quarters is a bedroom, a bathroom and an entrance area (which our staff use as a kitchenette).

This gorgeous home is in a highly-sought after area, one of the reasons being that the area is boomed off and very secure. It has off-site camera monitoring and a wonderfully clean, large park with swings and climbing frames for young children. This is maintained by the residents. Saints Manor is run by an excellent committee and has respectable, respectful residents. It is peaceful and quiet (apart from the birds).

It is a fabulous family home and would be ideal for parents at St Stithians who are tired of running around in Jo’burg traffic.
