Think high volumes, old-world arches and sumptuous spaces. The home’s stately entrance, adorned by a green Virginia Creeper that fades to golden red in autumn, opens onto an elegant entrance hall (with jacquard blinds) that leads to an expansive and stylish sitting-room. French doors connect the home’s semi-open reception areas, with the sitting-room (with gas fireplace) flowing into a fitted library that is pretty and plush, offering versatility when it comes to options for entertaining, relaxing or consulting with clients. French doors also open the sitting-room and three of the home’s bedrooms onto a private landscaped garden, with an elegant and enclosed patio (with guest WC) that overlooks the home’s swimming-pool completing the picture.

The granite-topped kitchen is equipped with gas hob and electric oven and includes a separate scullery with ample appliance space. Best of all are its high-volume windows – with bespoke fitted blinds – that cast dappled light on its eat-in area below. Experience the princely proportions of this kitchen and you’ll understand why two TV adverts were filmed in this special space!

A fourth bedroom ensures generous accommodation, with the home offering two full bathrooms – its main-ensuite bathroom sumptuously spa-like. The luxurious main bedroom also boasts a walk-through dressing-room with charming wallpaper, fitted blinds and brand-new, high-end – and gorgeous – sage-green cupboards.

Attention to excellence is evident in the home’s high-grade laminate floors and bespoke bookshelf-cupboard built-ins in three of the bedrooms. Gearing up for moving off-grid, the home is equipped with a Sunsynk 5kW hybrid inverter offering 24/7 electricity and three gas heating systems (a Rinnai 26l, a Rinnai 20l and an Atlas 16L), with all household gas linked to Egoli Gas and underground cabling already in place for a switch to solar. The home includes three-phase electricity, fibre, beams, electric fence and alarm and irrigation systems.

The home also offers a wonderful and well-sized two-bedroomed cottage with renovated kitchen with granite tops, laminate floors, private garden, alarm system and separate electricity meter for ease of renting. Also included is excellent staff accommodation – easily upgradable to a second, rentable cottage – as well as two storerooms.

This is a truly beautiful Parkview home – and a perfect place for making memories.
