Property Details

This quaint Settler home is totally endearing with its thatch roof and typical pattern of an English Country cottage. It is situated amongst little Settler houses that cluster in and about Artificer's Square. An area where many 1820 Settlers moved to from 1822 onwards, to put their Artisan skills to use. The Romantic little home, one of the oldest in our city, has been tastefully renovated for modern day living, while maintaining the characteristics of a bygone era. Stepping into history, on entering the home one is enthralled by yellow wood floors and original fireplaces in the open-plan Kitchen/ lounge area, while sunlight filters through the sash windows of this North facing home. The Cottage has two bedrooms, the main facing the front garden with a little pickett fence and the view of a large avo tree which provides shade for outside entertainment, offering the ideal spot for a "tea garden". The bathroom with it's black and while floor tiling is eye-catching and has a modern appeal. The undercover stoep at the back of the home, offers a second outside entertainment area which overlooks the private back garden. Tucked away in the corner of the garden is an outside room with toilet and basin, which offers various uses: studio, accommodation, laundry or office? A gated pan handle entrance and off street parking creates additional security. Drive down the street (Cross Street) and admire the original cobble stone gutters, "Wagon Stones" which protected buildings from the bumps from wagons drawn by spans of oxen, before turning into the driveway to view this charming little home. .... and just for convenience, a few doors down is the cutest little shop which supplies delicious home-made "delights". • LOUNGE /KITCHEN Open-plan Sash windows Yellow wood floors Down-lighting KITCHEN AREA Built-in cupboards in kitchen Wooden counter tops (Oregon pine) Dishwasher connection Original fire place (not in working order) LOUNGE AREA Original fire place (not in working order) view of front garden • BEDROOMS: 2 BEDROOM 1 Main bedroom Yellow wood floors Sash windows BEDROOM 2 (single) Carpeted Sash windows • BATHROOM Renovated Shower Toilet, Basin Tiled Floors • OUTBUILDING STUDIO toilet and basin In back garden • PARKING Off-street • GARDEN Private back garden Fenced front garden Child and pet friendly • SECURITY Burglar Bars Security Beams • EXTRAS: WATER TANKS Water pump
