Coach House:
An old outbuilding of the same era that was initially built to store horse-drawn carriages and may have housed the coachman or caretaker on the upper floor is situated in the back corner of the property. It has been used as a garage with carport below with teenage quarters and art studio above and has the potential to be incorporated into a beautiful new feature cottage/flat.
Two heritage professional opinions have been received should the new owner wish to renovate, or in worst case, demolish this building. An application for both is underway.
Option: Sectionalising
There is the option to have the property sectionalised. In this case, the house can be purchased for R5 250 000 (erf 743sqm) or a portion of the garden/land including the coach house for R2 250 000 (erf 408sqm).
