HERITAGE HOME AND ADORABLE GARDEN COTTAGE

*** UNDER OFFER ***

EXCLUSIVE LISTING

Once in a while an offering like this comes up – rare and unique. Located in the characterful, historic Chelsea Village of Diep River, this is one of the original wine farm cottages, now a charming heritage home. To add to its appeal and accommodation assets, there’s a cute garden cottage too – an ideal work from home office, teen pad, or occasional bedsitter for guests.

Diep River Village incorporates a selection of interesting shops and lovely Restaurants to explore. Constantia Village, Meadowridge Park n Shop and Blue Route are all close by, as is Constantiaberg Mediclinic.

On arriving, there’s an attractive perimeter wall with Nutec slatted pedestrian and sliding automated driveway gate opening up to a tandem carport. You’re immediately enchanted by this home’s appeal, from the high pitch roof, cottage-pane windows, French doors and full-length quarry-tiled veranda with “broekie lace” cast-iron lattice detail and pink bougainvillea draping beautifully across the front elevation, to the graceful Willow tree in the front garden.

The generously proportioned open plan living area, incorporating lounge, diningroom and familyroom, has elegant high ceilings, a focal fireplace with Oregon mantlepiece and warm Oregon strip floors.  Double French doors lead out to a brick-paved, roofed Patio, perfect for al fresco dining, overlooking a lush, established garden with freeform pool and rock fountain feature - your own private oasis of calm.  The wellpoint keeps the garden lush and a Jojo tank stores rainwater.

The designer refurbished kitchen boasts tall Oregon French doors, an Oregon wine cabinet, big picture window, white shaker doors, black granite countertops, aluminium handles, eating bar, gas hob, extractor and eye-level oven - a cook’s delight.  Plumbed for dishwasher and washing machine.

The fitted Study houses the Solar Power System.  The three bedrooms are spacious and high ceilinged. The main bedroom has tall sliding mirror door built-in cupboards and double French doors lead to the front roofed veranda. There’s a full, well-appointed bathroom with bath, shower over, vanity, bidet and loo plus a separate loo.

Good security measures include Alarm system, burglar bars, security gates and security lights.  There’s an active neighbourhood WhatsApp group connected to surveillance camera reports.
