3 Bedroom House in Greyton

SOLE MANDATE - Viewings by Appointment.

Set on the mountain side of Oak Street, theres something wonderfully settled about this home. Not manicured within an inch of its life or trying desperately to impress you- its just a house that feels as though it belongs exactly where it is, tucked into an established Greyton garden beneath mature trees.

And the garden really is where the story starts.

Brick pathways wander between beds and trees, little corners appear as you walk, and theres that lovely combination of lawn, shade, old brick and slightly wild greenery that takes years to create and is almost impossible to fake. A leiwater dam forms part of the garden, another of those wonderfully Greyton things that connects this property to the old rhythm of the village.

Then theres something you certainly dont find with every house in Greyton- private access to the Gobos River. Slip out of your own garden and down to the river, with the mountain rising behind you and one of Greytons loveliest natural spaces essentially on your doorstep.

The house unfurls in much the same way.

Inside, its warm rather than showy. Timber doors and floors, high ceilings, big windows and rooms that connect naturally to one another give it the comfortable feeling of a proper country home. French doors and windows keep drawing your eye back outside, so even when youre indoors the garden never feels very far away.

The lovely sunroom with its floor to ceiling windows and foldaway doors is truly the jewel of the home- ready to be enclosed and create a lovely space to cozy up in and bake in winter or to fling open early mornings or late afternoons to lets the cool breeze in summer time.

Upstairs, the character continues beneath the pitched roof, while downstairs the bedrooms and living spaces feel wonderfully connected to the garden. Open a door in the morning and youre straight out into birdsong, trees and whatever Greytons weather has decided to do that day.

And perhaps thats what I like most about this property.

It isnt a house that needs to shout.

Its about slow mornings with doors standing open. Coffee somewhere sunny in winter. Long lunches that drift into the afternoon. Dogs stretched out on the lawn. Children disappearing into the garden. Wandering down to the river on a hot summer afternoon. A glass of wine outside when the heat finally leaves the day.

Its the slightly slower, greener, quieter version of life that so many people come looking for when they start dreaming about Greyton.

And with the mountain behind you, the Gobos River at the bottom of the garden and Oak Street just beyond your gate, this one feels particularly hard to replicate.
