Set on a quiet cul de sac in Sea Point, with Lions Head rising at the end of the street, 5 Highworth Road is a triple storey Victorian townhouse built in 1886 and still carrying the detail of its era. Wrought iron railings on a stone boundary wall and a columned double verandah announce the house from the street, and a chequered tiled stoep leads to an entrance hall lined with original pressed panelling, where an Oregon pine staircase with turned balustrades climbs through all three levels.

The original 1886 floorboards run throughout and set the tone for everything else. High ceilings, picture rails, timber sash windows and two marble fireplaces with cast iron inserts give the reception rooms a warmth and proportion that cannot be reproduced today. The dining room, with its own fireplace, flows past a wall of fitted bookshelves into a library that will delight any reader, while the country style kitchen, with its gas hob, terracotta floor and panelled pine doors, has room for a family table at its centre. A guest bathroom serves this level, and the former steam room now does duty as a laundry, though it could easily be returned to its original purpose.

Upstairs are three generous bedrooms. The main bedroom, with floral feature wallpaper and a dressing area fitted with built in cupboards, opens through a glazed door onto the covered front verandah, a lovely spot for morning coffee among the geraniums with the sea air of Sea Point all around. The second bedroom has a marble fireplace of its own, and the third is a bright, calm room with its original timber window frames. Three bathrooms serve this level: one where a Victorian roll top bath on claw feet takes pride of place, a separate shower room, and a further bathroom with both bath and shower.

Tucked under the eaves, the loft level has dormer windows, a wall of built in bookshelves and its own en suite bathroom, and works equally well as a fourth bedroom, a teenagers retreat, a study or guest accommodation.

Highworth Road sits in one of Sea Points most sought after pockets, a short walk from the Promenade and the restaurants and cafs of Regent Road and Main Road, with the V&A Waterfront, the City Bowl and Camps Bay only minutes away by car.

For the buyer who values provenance, proportion and true character over the ordinary, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Sea Points heritage. Attend one of our scheduled show days, register to bid on auction day or make an offer to stop the auction.
