4 Bedroom House in Sandown

Ground Floor Description

The ground floor is arranged to prioritise practicality, open-plan living, and ease of circulation.

Access to the home is gained via the driveway leading into a double garage, which forms part of the main structure. From the garage, there is direct internal access into the scullery, allowing for discreet service access and convenient unloading of groceries. The scullery is positioned directly behind the kitchen, maintaining a functional workflow while keeping the main kitchen visually uncluttered.

The kitchen opens seamlessly into the dining area, which in turn flows into the main living area, creating a generous open-plan arrangement. This central living space is designed as the heart of the home and connects directly to the indoor braai area, making it ideal for entertaining while remaining sheltered and integrated with the interior living spaces.

Adjacent to the living area is a ground-floor bedroom Bedroom 3, which is serviced by its own en-suite bathroom. This bedroom is positioned privately, making it suitable for guests, extended family, or potential use as a home office or guest suite.

A foyer area defines the main entrance and provides access to the staircase, which is centrally positioned to allow efficient vertical circulation without disrupting the living zones.

First Floor Description via Staircase

Ascending the staircase from the foyer brings you to the first-floor landing, which distributes access to all upper-level accommodation spaces.

The main bedroom is generously proportioned and includes a dedicated dressing area as well as a private en-suite bathroom. This bedroom is positioned to maximise privacy and benefits from direct access to a balcony, enhancing indoor-outdoor connection.

The second bedroom on this level is also designed with comfort in mind and is serviced by its own en-suite bathroom, making it ideal as a secondary main bedroom or guest suite.

The third first-floor bedroom is similarly well-proportioned and is serviced by a separate bathroom, positioned nearby for convenient access.

In addition to the bedrooms, the first floor includes a study, located away from the main living areas below, providing a quiet and functional workspace suitable for remote work or study.

The balcony, accessed from the upper-level circulation and bedroom areas, enhances the elevation and provides outdoor amenity with views and natural light, consistent with the orientation shown on the approved plans.
