Swellendam, Western Cape

A Rare Heritage Treasure Waiting to Be Restored

Discover an exceptional opportunity to own one of Swellendam's historic homes, dating back to 1907. Rich in character and local history, this remarkable property once served as the town's second church parsonage before becoming a cherished private residence. Today, it offers the perfect canvas for those who appreciate authentic architecture and the rewarding process of restoring a timeless classic.

Original Oregon pine floors, ceilings, and shutters have been beautifully preserved, while soaring ceilings and generously proportioned rooms reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Every space tells a story and offers endless possibilities to revive the home's original elegance while adding your own personal touch.

At the heart of the home is a welcoming country kitchen featuring a traditional Bollinder coal stove that evokes warmth and nostalgia. The spacious accommodation includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the main bedroom enjoying an en-suite bathroom. A separate bedroom with its own lounge, fireplace, and direct veranda access provides an ideal guest suite or private retreat.

A large multi-purpose room opening onto the front veranda offers incredible flexibility, whether transformed into an artist's studio, work-from-home office, games room, or fifth bedroom.

The expansive open-plan living and dining area extends effortlessly onto the covered front veranda, inviting you to relax while taking in the peaceful surroundings and established garden.

Positioned on a generous 1,514m² stand, the mature garden provides plenty of space to reimagine the outdoor living areas, while a single garage and alarm system add everyday convenience.

Whether you're a heritage enthusiast, an investor looking for a unique restoration project, or someone dreaming of owning a home with genuine history and soul, this is a rare opportunity to breathe new life into one of Swellendam's architectural treasures.
