grand dame in Ladismith

This gorgeous historic house has been standing proud in Albert Street, Ladismith, overlooking Towerkop, for more than a century, it embodies the charm of a bygone era. There is nothing like a home that makes you want to pull up an easy chair and relax on the stoep. This is such a home.

Loaded with period features such as Oregan pine floors and high wooden ceilings, sash windows with the added bonus of the converted loft, make this property truly unique. The Yellow- and Oregan pine wooden staircase in the small entrance hall connects the ground floor with the loft.

Palisade fencing in the front with an electric gate provides easy access to the garage . A 7 inch Colour video doorphone provides peace of mind when opening the font gate to visitors. The doorphone has a gate release and monitoring system as well as a loud voice and dual-way intercom. It gives a clear view at night and throughout the day.

The layout of the house is typical of houses from that era. Three bedrooms downstairs with the livingroom, kitchen and another room that can be used as an office or studio. It can also be converted into an en-suite or dressing room for the main bedroom.

The loft has been converted into three bedrooms, a bathroom and open plan living area. The loft door on the eastern side can be enlarged. A deck can be added thus connecting the indoor with the outside.
The garden is neat and tidy with a small water feature at the entrance. The soothing sound of the water makes enjoying a cup of coffee on the stoep even more enjoyable! The garden is low maintenance and water wise.

This lady needs some TLC to bring out her inner beauty and restore her former glory!
