Stately Family Residence in Prime Melrose.

Stately Family Residence in Prime Melrose. Exclusive Mandate.

Set on one of Melrose’s most distinguished addresses, this gracious thatch residence is a home of warmth, comfort and generous proportions. Fully ceilinged throughout, with the thatch redone in 2022, it offers timeless character combined with practical modern living.

A wood-panelled entrance hall welcomes you into elegant reception rooms with wooden floors, exposed beams and fireplaces. The formal lounge flows to a light-filled sunroom overlooking the established garden, while a separate bar opens to the pool — ideal for relaxed family entertaining. A refined dining room and a comfortable TV lounge with underfloor heating complete the living spaces.

The modern kitchen is well-appointed with granite tops, double Miele ovens, a Miele gas hob, integrated AEG refrigeration, separate scullery and walk-in pantry — designed for everyday family life as much as entertaining.

Upstairs offers four spacious bedrooms:

• A generous master suite with private pyjama lounge, walk-in dressing room and marble en-suite.
• Three additional bedrooms, including one en-suite and a Jack-and-Jill family bathroom.

Separate spaces include a private executive office (or games room) with its own entrance, a gym/playroom above the second garage, and staff accommodation.

The established garden, complete with a magnificent Wild Fig tree and salt-chlorinated pool, provides a secure and inviting setting for children to grow and families to gather.

Additional features include borehole water linked to JoJo tanks, piped gas, underfloor heating, electric fencing, alarm system, and four garages.

Ideally located close to leading private schools including Pridwin Preparatory School, Kingsmead College, Bellavista School, St Teresa's School and St David's Marist Inanda, this is a distinguished family home offering space, substance and superb convenience.
