Own a manor house in Cape’s Milnerton for R7.9m

16 Aug 2017

The sale of Vrede Manor, one of Milnerton’s oldest properties, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history in this rising suburb.

Janet Gelgor, Pam Golding Properties area specialist for the Western Seaboard, says they have the exclusive mandate to market this landmark property in Marais Road, on the market for R7.9 million.

“Located in one of Cape Town’s sought-after suburbs, this graceful home - once the official residence of the Mayor of Milnerton - epitomises this historic suburb’s unique combination of old-world charm and modern convenience,” says Gelgor.

Dating back to the late 1800s, Milnerton is one of Cape Town’s oldest suburbs with a rich history. Today it is highly sought after because of its beautiful beaches and coastal lifestyle, just a short drive from Cape Town’s city centre.

Vrede Manor, built in 1904, is a striking reminder of a bygone era that has been beautifully restored and includes modern features that would meet any family’s needs,” says Gelgor.

With an erf of almost 1 700sqm, and features that include a large patio, plush garden irrigated by a well point, and a sizeable pool area, Vrede Manor is ideal for entertaining.

Gelgor says the home has lofty ceilings, an open Victorian fireplace, four bedrooms, three of which are en suite, and two generously-sized reception rooms.

Vrede Manor is a short walk away from the beach, the 18-hole Coastal Links Milnerton Golf Course and Tennis Club. Cape Town is just 12km away.

While many buyers are willing to compromise on certain features, there are key deal breakers that can turn a once-promising property into a hard pass.
