A home in
Cape Town's Zwaanswyk which is believed to be nearly 100 years old has come on to the market at R13,5m.
The home, described as a grand old country house, is a double storey on a 6,718sq m plot with many trees along the boundaries. It is situated high on the mountain slopes with easy access to the walking trails of the area.
The home has five large bedrooms, four bathrooms and four spacious reception areas, one of which, the family living room, is stone-clad. The upper storey rooms lead out onto a balcony and the ground floor rooms onto a raised patio.
Internally, the fixtures and fittings include typical Victorian fireplaces, a variety of wooden floors, solid wood doors and, as one would expect in a home of this era, very high ceilings in which the timber beams are exposed. Stone-cladding is also found on a portion of the external façade.
The garden has been landscaped and there is space for a tennis court.
Sited just in front of the house is a large swimming pool and to the rear are garages and servant's quarters. Also on the grounds is a two bedroom cottage.
