Stanford, Western Cape

The garden is where the story starts. This property is in a serene and quiet area in Stanford, a heritage village close to Hermanus.

From entering the property, the pathways wander between beds and trees, little corners appear as you walk, and there's that lovely combination shade, old and slightly wild greenery that takes years to create, things that connect this property to the old rhythm of the Stanford village.

Inside, it's warm and airy with lots of light, high double volume ceilings, big windows and rooms that connect naturally to one another give it the comfortable feeling of a proper country home. French doors and windows keep drawing your eye back outside, so even when you're indoors the garden never feels very far away.

The lovely sunroom with its floor to ceiling windows and foldaway doors is truly the jewel of the home- ready to be enclosed and create a lovely space to cozy up in and bake in winter or to fling open early mornings or late afternoons to let the cool breeze in during summertime.

Downstairs you will find the open plan kitchen with a separate scullery, spacious lounge with doors leading to a second lounge and dining areas and a patio that stretches the length of the house and that feel wonderfully connected to the garden. In addition, there are 2 bedrooms with a bathroom, that can easily be converted to a guest suite with its own private entrance, The character continues upstairs beneath the pitched roof with a spacious en-suite bedroom with built in cupboards.

It's about slow mornings with doors standing open. Coffee somewhere sunny in winter. Long lunches that drift into the afternoon. Dogs running around. Children playing and disappearing into the garden. A glass of wine outside when the heat finally leaves the day.

It's the slightly slower, greener, quieter version of life that so many people come looking for when they start dreaming about Stanford.

This is an exclusive sole mandate and a desirable property which will sell quickly.
