5 Bedroom House in Malvern

I''ve driven past this property for the last 20 years, and it has always intrigued me: Two entrances, high walls, old trees. Never once did I even get a glimpse inside. And now, finally! I get to explore it fully and present it to you.

Built by a master builder who is responsible for several well-known buildings in Queensburgh, this was built for his family in the 70s, and has seen generations come and go. Quality is assured. This wasnt built to sell it was built to be a home forever.

Lets take the tour:

Enter though electric gates from either side of the wide road frontage onto a massive paved courtyard. Park at will theres space for everyone and any kind of vehicle, even without the four XL garages around the side of the house.

Through the mahogany front door into a double-volume reception area, you will first notice the beautiful wrought-iron staircase leading upstairs to the private quarters. To the left is the guest bedroom and bathroom, in front, the lounge, and to the right the kitchen, dining room, and informal, fresh-air lounge.

The kitchen is a massive, farmhouse affair, with a scullery to one side, and large dining room to the other. Dining room empties into the large outdoor lounge, ideal if you like a cigar and whiskey after your meal.

.

The formal lounge is light and airy, and elegantly presented. I love the feature walls. Off the lounge the corner of the house is a sunroom, office, or even a 6th bedroom if you really need more.

Through French doors, the lounge flows onto a large, decked entertainment area with the compulsory built-in braai, overlooking the pool and truly impressive garden. Im running out of synonyms for huge, but this garden is something else. Your kids could build little encampments you wouldnt even find. Build another mansion down there if you like - this would be easy to subdivide.

Back inside, up the stairs to the 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom suite has private balcony overlooking the entire property, walk-in closet, and full private bathroom. To the other side of the passage are the three other bedrooms, each large enough to accommodate a king-size bed and furniture. Separate toilet and shower as well.

Extras:

Full office away from the main house. Do your business in peace and quiet and receive clients without compromising your personal space.

Fully fitted laundry, big ebough to hang your clothes on rainy days.

Large staff quarters with full bathroom.

Large one-bedroom cabin with en-suite bathroom and fitted kitchen at the bottom of the garden.

Three JoJo tanks, with one supplying pressurized water to the entire house.

Fibre

Quarter million Rand solar system consisting of 10 x 550W panels with capacity for 10 more. 2 x 5.1 KVA batteries.

House fully wired for generator power.

And much, much more.

This one is special.

Central, private, future-proof. If you love a rustic aesthetic with high-tech elements, you don''t have to change a thing.

Serious sellers are relocating and will entertain serious buyers.
