A Greyton Original, Beautifully Reimagined

SOLE MANDATE, Viewings by appointment. It takes a certain kind of vision to see the beauty in a house that time has almost forgotten. And even more to bring it back to life so beautifully.

Once in a state of serious neglect, this old Greyton home has been carefully restored, with enormous respect for everything that made it special in the first place.

Its distinctive catslide roofs, original timber beams and beautiful fireplace remain, while almost every part of the interior has been thoughtfully reworked.

The double-volume living spaces are particularly beautiful. The original reed-clad roof has been carefully encapsulated beneath new ceilings, creating a double layer of insulation while retaining the exposed timber beams and wonderful sense of height. The result is a lovely balance between the character of the old house and the comfort of a modern home.

Above the living area, the mezzanine has been completely reworked, with new flooring, minimalist walkways and suspended cable balustrades that allow light to move freely through the space without interrupting the openness below.

The kitchen has been completely gutted and rebuilt, with soft sage-green cabinetry, oak countertops and a separate scullery and laundry. Contemporary in its simplicity, but entirely in keeping with the character of the house.

The spacious main bedroom is especially lovely, with beautiful oak floors, warm timber detailing and a peaceful atmosphere. The bathrooms have also been completely renovated, with carefully chosen finishes, a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms in total, with the third en-suite bedroom forming part of a charming separate garden cottage, ideal for visiting family or friends.

Set across 1,800m2, already subdivided into two 900m2 plots, this house has a beautiful, established garden that feels as though it has grown into its own little world.

Rambling roses tumble over archways, winding brick pathways disappear between lush flowerbeds, and a magnificent old oak stands statuesque, its sweeping canopy offering welcome shade on warm summer days.

A leiwater dam adds to the tranquillity, while the Scholtz River meanders through one corner of the property. At the heart of the lawn, a rustic stone firepit invites long evenings beneath the stars, surrounded by the sights, sounds and scents of a garden lovingly nurtured over many years.

A wonderfully peaceful place, where nature has been given the freedom to flourish.
