6 Bed House in Sheffield Beach

Two first class properties on one stand, give these properties (which are a combined eight hundred square metres under roof) a multitude of uses. Both properties have superb sea views, design excellence and high kerb appeal. It was built 15 years ago by an award winning British builder to the highest exacting standards for his own family with meticulous attention to detail, high quality materials, and has been maintained to the highest standards withstanding all the inclement weather and storms that KZN weather could ever deliver, with no hint of dampness/cracks or so much as a dislodged tile. You would find it hard to secure a property built locally to such high European construction standards.
