Situated in the heart of the exclusive suburb of Cowies Hill, only 10km from Durban, amongst the endless rolling hills laced with meandering streams and beautiful tree-lined roads, lies a classic Cape Dutch home.
This R11.95 million double storey home in Cowies Hill was built in 1921, and follows authentic Cape Dutch architecture with teak sash windows, carved wood architraves, yellowwood beams and teak doors - click here to view.This is according to Tyson Properties’ Sharon Cockerell-Brown, who says the home is situated in a 6 935sqm level and landscaped garden.
“The garden has towering trees, groomed shrubs, original period fountains, a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, large glass sun atrium, sunken garden with sundial, six vehicle garaging and ample parking facility for those memorable days and nights of entertaining,” says Cockerell-Brown.

“Just off the wood panelled entrance hall, the reception rooms feature unique finishes, while the other living rooms boast high ceilings and soaring windows, which still feature the original brass chandeliers,” says Cockerell-Brown.
“They say the heart of the home is the kitchen, and in this home, the kitchen is a piece of wonder fitted with Gaggenau appliances and boasting lots of space.”
It is also not often that you find a home that features his and hers studies, but this home offers this, along with many other features such as an open fireplace, billiard room, and cloakroom,” says Cockerell-Brown.

Outside the home lies two separate cottages on either side of the home, both featuring luxury fittings.
“The first is a lovely one bedroom, fitted with some incredible features, and the other is a fantastic two bedroom home, each to be used for visits from extended family, or even an additional income, or simply a separate living space for older children or additional family,” says Cockerell-Brown.
In addition to the outside houses, there is staff accommodation and a separate laundry room.
Within the home’s floors and panelled glass windows lies history, says Cockerell-Brown.
