*** EXCLUSIVE LISTING ***
Welcome to 1 Surbiton Road, Rosebank. Constructed around 1880. This is the first Cape Town property that we’ve ever encountered from this period that has the original front door key…and it still works.
From the start, everything about this home celebrates traditional English heritage - from the swing gates and the gravel driveway, to the gorgeous original features which include pressed ceilings, multiple fireplaces, a wine cellar, and a great London plane in the back garden. The entrance hall leads left to the drawing room (which has been featured in several film shoots), straight to an open plan family dining area and country-style kitchen, or right up the staircase to the bedrooms – of which there are 4, all ensuite. The primary suite enjoys views of
Devils Peak, and one of the 3 Victorian fireplaces.
A formal dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen, where guest can step into a double-volume sunroom, and from there out into the garden with manicured lawn, swimming pool, and complete privacy created from the established treeline around the perimeter. Downstairs, one will also find a cloakroom, study, and storeroom (which could be incorporated into the study to create a guest bedroom). Extras include a staff room/laundry, fireplace in the kitchen, and excellent security all round.
This very special home is strictly available to view by appointment only.
