Description of Property

The Stand and the setting

The penultimate plot on a quiet cul-de-sac. The property is triangular shaped with a well established garden and extensive paddock area. Eight 50-year-old Canary Island palms and the wide lawn convey a colonial atmosphere, and this is extended by the deep verandah and lateral extension of the house. Within the front garden there is a bricked entertainment area with built in braai (BBQ), and marbelite pool with thatch shaded jacuzzi. The plot is completely surrounded by 6 foot wire mesh fencing, with gates. There is a double car garage and a four car carport as well as numerous out buildings, sheds, a reservoir, and 3 laborers' cottages.

The house

From this extends the corridor linking the rest of the house. The farm-style kitchen is fully fitted with built in cupboards, double sink, hob and room for three fridges. Two main bedrooms face the front garden and each has a sliding French door opening onto the patio area, the third bedroom is smaller. All three bedrooms have built-in cupboards and the main bedroom has an fully tiled en-suite bathroom with shower, bath, toilet and sink, built on large dimensions for wheelchair access. The second bathroom has shower and bath, then there is a separate toilet, and a laundry.
