4 Bedroom House For Sale in Milnerton

Property description

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and restore “The Spookhuis”!

On the market for the first time in over 50 years, this is your chance to purchase Rugby’s original farmhouse which dates back to 1904.

Set on an expansive corner plot, the house is surrounded on 3 sides by a wide stoep which offers a spectacular view of Table Mountain and Lion’s Head and is very proud of it’s new roof, which was completed earlier this year.

Beautiful weathered double-doors usher you into a grand hallway with a high pressed steel ceiling, original Oregon Pine floor, flanked by wood-panelled walls, and pillars which lead into the lounge.

From the hallway, the first two bedrooms of the house can be accessed. Both are large rooms with great natural light and have original (albeit bricked up) fireplace chimneys, steel-framed windows and pressed steel ceilings.

The large lounge which has a beautiful working fireplace, wood-panelled walls and original pressed steel ceiling leads to the main bedroom (with working fireplace), to the kitchen, and also to the rear of the house.

Double-doors lead out from the lounge to the West side of the stoep and side garden.

The Mexican-inspired kitchen features traditional ceramic tiles, a wonderfully high ceiling, access to the West stoep by an external door and access to the rear of the house.

The family bathroom includes a bath, over-bath shower, toilet, handbasin and tiled floor.

A large room which connects the West and East sides of the rear of the house offers access to the rear garden by an external door, a single (guest) toilet and houses the staircase to the attic and loft.

The East bedroom at the rear of the house has a bricked up doorway to the stoep which can easily be restored to a working door, and plumbing to a hand basin.

The house has original suspended Oregon Pine flooring throughout.

Two attic rooms have transparent roof sheets which offer brilliant light for a studio or office space.

The loft above the front section of the house provides an enormous amount of potential storage space.

The house has an alarm system, fibre is available, open air parking for up to 5 cars in the garden, a single car garage and huge additional garden potential.

The old outbuildings (of which there are 3 separate spaces plus a working single toilet) can be used for storage, as a workshop, additional garage space or demolished to double the size of the back garden.

Two minutes from the Italian and Portuguese Cultural Clubs, an 8 minute walk to Lagoon Beach and it’s beachfront restaurants, 10 minute drive to Canal Walk Mall, 15 minutes to Cape Town and accessible on foot from two separate MyCiti routes, this house is very central!
