The accommodation is versatile, with several generously sized bedrooms, built-in cupboards and well-appointed renovated bathrooms. The main bedroom is particularly spacious, offering ample cupboard space and room to create a private sitting area, while stack doors open directly from the bedroom onto the garden, creating a lovely private connection with the outdoors.

A farmhouse-style kitchen adds to the personality and charm of the home, while the additional living and dining areas provide plenty of scope for relaxed family living and entertaining.

One of the property''s most appealing features is the versatile additional section of the house, which offers exciting possibilities for extended family, older children, guests or an income-generating opportunity. With its own rooms, bathroom and living areas, this portion could potentially be reconfigured into a comfortable separate apartment, subject to any necessary approvals.

Outside is where this property truly comes into its own. The extensive, park-like established garden is filled with mature greenery, lawns, established planting and a variety of charming features that make exploring the grounds a pleasure. Cascading waterfalls, water features, pathways and secluded corners add to its unique appeal and create a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere. The established gardens provide an exceptional sense of space and privacy and give the property a feeling of having its own private park.

Several outbuildings offer further possibilities for hobbies, storage, a studio, work-from-home space or potential accommodation. There is also a rondavel and a wooden structure currently used for storage, providing additional versatility for the new owner. For those with a creative vision, the property offers numerous opportunities to adapt and personalise the existing spaces.

The swimming pool is currently in need of re-fibre glassing, while the home would benefit from some cosmetic finishing. These aspects are reflected in the opportunity this property presents. The fundamentals are here, with an exceptional land size, substantial accommodation and an established setting, allowing the new owner to add their own style and bring the property to its full potential.

Practical features include a 5,250-litre water tank, a water purification system, a dedicated area suitable for growing vegetables or propagating plants, an outside laundry and ample off-street parking, including a double garage.

The property is fully enclosed, offering privacy and security, while the generous driveway provides convenient access and plenty of parking for residents and guests.
