2 Bedroom House in Marloth Park

Old-School Marloth Park Charm, Beautifully Kept

The bushwillows are greening, the birds are in full chorus and the long golden evenings are just around the corner. Picture it: a cold drink in hand, a thatched roof overhead and the Lowveld putting on its best show just for you.

This much-loved, older-style Marloth Park home has the kind of character that newer builds spend fortunes trying to copy: warm face-brick walls, exposed log beams, thatch and polished wood. It has been wonderfully looked after, and it shows in every room.

TUCKED AWAY ON THE QUIETER SIDE

While other parts of the estate hum with building and development, this home sits peacefully on the quiet side of the park. The loudest sounds here are birdsong and the occasional visitor rustling past at dusk.

DOWNSTAIRS: EASY, BREEZY LIVING

The open-plan lounge and kitchen are filled with light, with big windows and French doors that open straight onto the deck. A generous blue sectional invites you to sink in, there is a TV for movie nights, and the kitchen has loads of cupboard space for the family cook. Also downstairs is a bedroom with its own bathroom shower, basin and loo, ideal for guests or for those who prefer to keep the stairs out of the equation.

UPSTAIRS: LOFT LIFE UNDER THE THATCH

Climb up to a romantic loft bedroom beneath the rafters, complete with an en-suite basin and loo. Alongside it, a big open area is currently set up for sleeping, but it would be just as happy as a second lounge, a games room or a cosy hideaway for the grandchildren. You decide.

Then step out onto the large upstairs deck, where morning coffee tastes better and the bird list grows before breakfast.

OUTSIDE: WHERE SUMMER HAPPENS

Downstairs, the covered pergola area is made for long Lowveld days: a built-in braai, a big wooden table for the whole gang, rattan loungers and a plunge pool for those scorching afternoons. When the sun sets, there is stone seating under the trees for sundowners and storytelling.

MOVE IN, UNPACK, EXHALE

All the furniture is included, so there is nothing left to do but arrive. Whether you want a weekend bush getaway, a lock-up-and-go holiday home or a ready-to-enjoy base for the whole family, the hard work has already been done.

Marloth Park does not get much better than this: authentic, peaceful and ready for the season ahead.

This property is offered under an Exclusive Mandate. Contact Zuleka Malan at Chas Everitt Lowveld Marloth Park to arrange your private viewing before the summer rush begins.
