The House
The property contains two houses, a large swimming pool, a bbq/braai area with outdoor shower, a garage, and carports.
Set within the quiet Hillcrest neighbourhood, the large property provides a sense of space and privacy within the mature yard.
The Main House.
This is the main residential house on the property. It was originally built in the 1950s and was renovated and updated in 2013. During renovations, major extensions were added, such as the octagonal enclosed patio, as well as an ensuite-bathroom, creating a self-contained master suite. The interior has tiled floors throughout.

An additional WC as well as a storage room are accessible from the garden. It also features staff amenities with separate access from the garden, including WC, shower, storage and cooking facilities.

The Garden.
The large garden features many mature trees, providing cooling shade, abundant blooms and a diversity of fruit. Seasonal fruit harvests include mango, guavas, bananas, oranges, lemons and limes, mulberries, peaches and papaya. A productive vegetable patch and compost are established.
The large swimming pool (15m lap swimming lap and sitting pool) is the main feature of the yard. It includes a small utility shed for pumps and filters, tucked away under foliage. A borehole with solar powered pump provides reliable water supply for pool maintenance and irrigation.
