We introduce to you an old Settler homestead dating back to the 1800's, treasured and maintained in its original condition on one of the primary farms in Howick bordering the Umngeni Valley / Wessa.
The old two-bedroom home has been extended to accommodate another two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, making it a sizeable four-bedroom residence.
The generous entrance hall makes quite a statement as you enter the house, and all rooms are extremely spacious, keeping in tradition with the fundamental style of the building.
To the one side is a huge main bedroom, dressing room and full bathroom, along with the lounge that accommodates two lounge suites and a fireplace, and a study. Branching off the wide passageway is the dining room and second bedroom, a long patio to the side, and the kitchen at the end. The size of the kitchen does not disappoint, with room for a breakfast table and sociable meal preparation. A walk-in pantry and linen room complete the picture. The back patio resembles a mud room and allows for a separate laundry room around the corner.
The front garden is immaculate and overlooks a sparkling swimming pool and entertainment area / pool room. Beyond the sweeping lawns is an established indigenous forest.
To the side of the main house is another three-bedroom character-filled house with a double garage and its own private garden.
Only a stone's throw away are yet another two self-contained cottages, which currently bring in an extra income, and a lettable bedroom / office with a bathroom.
There is a third garage, a huge water tank, a storeroom, an old dairy shed, and staff quarters.
Last but not least is the open field of kikuyu that has potential for grazing livestock, or for further development. Water comes from a borehole, and load shedding is a breeze because of the generator that is included in the sale.
The options and opportunity are vast on this property and for the right buyer it is worth gold, as land in this area is scarce. Must be seen to be appreciated.
Contact the agents for more information and for viewing.
