Modernised 3 Bedroom House in Aborview with Swimming Pool

Old style but updated and modernised 3 Bedroomed house situated next to the old Fort overlooking Aliwal from the airfield side.

The house gives a wonderful sense of space, with a huge lounge area with parquet flooring, a fireplace, and windows on 3 sides. Lounge windows have been fitted with venetian blinds as well as curtain rods and burglar bars on opening windows. The kitchen has melamine built in cupboards, built in eye level oven and hob, and tiled floors, giving a clean appearance with no clutter, and a serving hatch that doubles as breakfast area. Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious scullery and laundry area tiled and fitted with more melamine cupboards matching the kitchen. There is a double stainless steel kitchen sink next to a large window giving more light and openness.

The serving hatch from the kitchen opens up in another spacious room doubling as family room and dining area, with laminated floor covering, and open fireplace with sandstone clad hearth and chimney. From the family room an open entrance leads to the spacious enclosed veranda which has an indoor braai built in, tiled floors and braai space, and white aluminium concertina folding doors. These doors along the front and one side gives access to the swimming pool as well as enabling one to open up for the long summer days.

Two bedrooms are larger, comfortable, and equipped with ample built in wardrobes, with one smaller children's room also with built in wardrobe, all with beautifully restored wooden floors properly sanded and sealed. One of the bigger bedrooms is equipped with a basin and shower behind a solid glass shower door.

In between the main bedroom and children's room is an atrium with linen cupboards giving access to one full bathroom, tiled in neutral colours, as well as a separate toilet.

Access can be either from Barkly Street at the rear of the property, through a sliding gate for parking, or from the Fort side opposite the Municipal Game camp to a double garage (with one tip up door) or another single carport lean to with zinc roof. Both areas are accessible by means of separate sliding gates. There is ample room to park and work inside the garage and there is also an outside toilet facility. Most of the vehicle approach and parking areas have been covered with stone chips, giving a clean mud-free covering.

There is an alarm system installed with 24hour response and the property is fully fenced. The swimming pool is raised, giving a farm dam ambiance and is equipped with the normal pump and filter equipment. There is also a sunken cement and concrete open air braai area in one corner with lawn and paving.
