Free Standing House | Sale
EXCLUSIVE SOLE MANDATE This imposing Victorian beauty is located in a cul-de-sac off the beaten track & elevated to embrace a panoramic view of the vineyards and surrounding countryside.
A profusion of delicate pink roses borders the entranceway with lawn & well-developed trees on one side and on a higher terrace the sparkling pool.
On entering one is confronted by an elevated & most generously proportioned, wrap-around patio, dressed with American blinds & affording idyllic views of the vineyards in the valley, the mountains in the distance & the surrounding farmlands.
From the patio one enters a gracious lounge displaying charming oregon sash windows on two sides, designed to capture the views and allow plenty of light into the room. This section of the property is a new addition with high ceilings, also including beautiful old oregon floors. A wood-burning stove graces the corner of the room.
A door opens into a charming bathroom comprising a slipper bath, basin, shower and toilet. Old oregon sash window and antique brass fittings in the shower, basin and bath complete the picture.
Upon entering the original old house through stained, double wooden doors, one proceeds down a wide passageway, again displaying wooden floors & ceilings, with a few sky lights for additional light.
Two generous bedrooms lead off the passageway, one on either side. These rooms also boast all the oregon features, with the addition of original shutters on the sash windows.
A second bathroom is readily accessed from one of the bedrooms across another passageway and comprises a bath with shower fitted overhead, basin with built in wooden cupboard as well as a separate toilet. Attractive mosaic tiles dress the floor. This bathroom also offers easy access to the study.
One finds all the wood finishes with original shutters in the comfortable study which also opens onto the wrap-around patio.
A large dining room is found at the end of the passageway with wooden doors flowing out to the terraced, herb garden. It's a comfortable room which accommodates a large table & chairs. Wooden floors & ceilings add the final touch.
Next comes the kitchen which comprises a hot kitchen with a table & 4 chairs for casual breakfasts, together with a five-plate gas hob & oven, extractor fan and prep basin, as well as a cold kitchen, cum pantry/scullery/ work & storage area. This part of the kitchen houses numerous wooden cupboards with working space, as well as a large sink. Further along and also leading out to the patio and herb area is the scullery with washing machine, dishwasher & double sink. On the other side of this room is a door leading out to another patio with a built-in braai.
Besides the main house there is a flatlet downstairs comprising a bedroom, bathroom & basic kitchenette area.
The final flourish is on the lowest terrace with a small dam, as well as a carport and parking space for 5 cars. Solar system to be negotiated separately.
