Grand Old Dame and Modern Young Lady.
If big rooms, original wooden floors, period features and high ceilings are your thing, this well-proportioned home with separate cottage in the historical town of Swellendam in the Western Cape, South Africa, will certainly whet your appetite and entice you to become part of this welcoming community.
Situated on big grounds and surrounded by gardens created by a professional landscape artist, with an adjacent freestanding one bedroom cottage, your exhausting search for the ideal home might be at an end. This homestead offers a lounge, entertaining/dining area, kitchen and three double bedrooms (one with en-suite bathroom), a family bathroom and a guest toilet.
Walking down the wide and impressive entrance hallway, then passing the bedrooms and central formal lounge with winter fireplace, you enter a cozy rectangular entertainment/dining area complete with built-in braai, which leads out onto the covered veranda overlooking a truly magical outdoor space. A handy garden shed is unobtrusively tucked away in the back garden.
The roomy, warm and functional kitchen and laundry area, complete with walk-in pantry, flows from the other side of the entertainment area. Practice your culinary expertise on the enviable Lofra gas stove and write your heirloom recipe book!
The one-bedroom cottage can be used as a separate home office or income earner. With a modern shower and bathroom and good finishes throughout, this conversion offers comfortable accommodation, either long or short term, to prospective tenants or guests.
