Lovely home OR successful B&B
This beautiful home, built around 1984, is a replica of a Georgian house in England, with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and a workshop/studio, 2 big sheds and a gorgeously lush garden. We are the 2nd owners and have lived here 19 years. For the last 17 years this house has been a successful B&B and ranks 4th on Tripadvisor in Pietermaritzburg. The multiple spacious rooms have allowed us the opportunity of using the rooms for many purposes. So currently the B&B makes use of the accommodation to suit the purpose. Here is an opportunity to live in a lovely home and also have an income. However it can also be just a wonderfully ample home with a lovely garden.
Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, 2 are ensuite.
Downstairs there is one en-suite bedroom, and a lounge and dining room with another full en-suite bathroom as well.
The very large oak kitchen with granite counter tops is open plan to a breakfast room.
This leads onto the pool patio with a really beautiful black gunnite, rock pool (real rocks) with a waterfall that runs into the pool
The extra length double garage has been converted into a workshop/studio. One can easily return it to a garage by putting in garage doors. It also has a bathroom with a toilet, so this could easily be converted into a spacious flat of approximately 50m.
There is a double carport.
At the back of the house at the top of the approximately 2400 sq.m. garden there is a 26squ.m. shed and also a Tilly Shed.) Both are on the plans, and the plans are all up to date and current. There is also space to build a cottage. (Plans available)
The house has a 5kva solar system installed which runs all the ceiling lights and there are 3 dedicated plugs.
There is also a generator and a 4500 litre Jojo tank that will kick in automatically if the municipal water stops for any reason. Also 3 aircons. The house also has a surge protector.
The established garden is a joy, with ponds and water features and there is plenty of space for a veggie garden. Avo trees provide wonderful fruit in season and the lovely loamy soil can grow almost anything.
A new licence will be required for a new owner to operate the B&B IF you wish to carry it on. All the fittings, furniture, tvs, internet,and other appliances, linen, crockery and cutlery etc pertinent to running the 3 B&B suites will be left.
