Multi-storey house sold in Camphersdrift

Exclusive sole mandate

A landmark home – set in a private landscaped garden with large old trees that have stood guard for a few centuries.

The majestic entrance respectfully request a pause.

The ground floor is host to many entertainment facilities such as the king size dining room, 2 formal lounges, aristocratic study, French kitchen with walk-in pantry, huge scullery and massive laundry and modern comforts, as well as a 5 th en suite guest wing suitable for a professional office. This guest wing has a separate street entrance. A huge farm size stoep links tiled garages for three vehicles to the private pool and patio area – complete with built-in undercover braai. The large staff cottage has own separate street entrance. Also a 2 nd staff room available.

The century old solid wooden staircase leads to a split level top floor – a private ladies' study, teenage lounge and 2 large sleeping quarters separate from the rest of the household sharing a bathroom. The top floor is also host to 2 magnificent, large bedrooms – both en suite. A supersized dressing room links the romantic main bedroom with a luxurious main en-suite bathroom. A private balcony off the master bedroom with extended northern and western mountain views exceeds all expectations

Although only the finest décor and detail is exposed throughout this giant, majestic residence - the accent is on gentle, calm family living. Peaceful atmosphere is evident in antique and modern finishes – from the stained glass front door, the antique handles and chandeliers, the 5 fire places – to the modern gas stove, the modern, but Victorian bathrooms. Modern necessities such as fencing, convenient paved driveway, remote controlled garages and gates, security beams, spotlights, video gate intercom, filters, extended drainage facilities, new roof gutters and partial new roof provide peace of mind to the next generation.

With Yellowwood beams, 18 inch thick walls, solid wooden floors, doors and antique sash windows – this Historic homestead is a rare combination of old and new. Modern comfort is cleverly and expertly mingled with warm, cosy old features. Completely rewired with totally new plumbing a few years ago.

Famous owners such as local magistrate Van Kervel (1820), Campher Family (1826), reverend Ballot (1885), Harry Comay (1944) added history to this giant of Camphersdrift.
