The house is situated on a large Erf of 2 141 sq. metres & is entirely but discreetly protected by an 8 foot pale green electrified palisade fence. This enchanting property has been enlarged over the years by its previous owners & has now been impeccably & sensitively restored by the present owners, with the help of a local architect, in keeping with the history of the house, & yet practicable, low maintenance & conveniently located - being within walking distance to both the West Beach & Kelly’s Blue Flag Beach, the Royal Port Alfred Golf Club , the Royal St Andrews Hotel & various restaurants in the neighbourhood. The original house, garden cottage & patio now has a beautiful white aluminium roof. The front windows & double doors have been replaced with bespoke Iroko hardwood.

It has underfloor heating throughout. VERANDA One of the best features of the property is the beautiful, huge veranda which overlooks the front garden & also links the main house to the garden flat. It is sheltered from the wind by shrubs & plants & protected from the prevailing westerly winds by a huge plate glass window which creates a most attractive frame of the garden beyond.
