Wayside Cottage | Chelsea Village | Wynberg Upper

"Wayside Cottage"

A rare opportunity to own a heritage cottage tucked away along a quiet lane in one of Cape Town’s most tightly held village pockets.

Wayside Cottage has been lovingly cared for by its current owner for the past 18 years and is now ready to welcome its next custodian.

This charming one-bedroom National Monument offers something seldom found in the Southern Suburbs: a secure freestanding home with two off-street parkings, low monthly holding costs, and future expansion potential, all within walking distance of cafés, parks and boutique village life.

The home is beautifully oriented, with an eastern entrance welcoming the morning sun, while north and west-facing aspects bring warmth and natural light throughout the day. A paved west-facing garden courtyard creates an ideal space for afternoon entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors.

Additional features include:

• 2 secure off-street parkings
• Minimal rates and taxes
• Excellent condition throughout
• Roof space suitable for attic conversion
• Existing concept plans (not approved) for a second-storey addition comprising a second bedroom and bathroom with mountain views
• National Monument / Heritage status
• Lock-up-and-go village lifestyle

Few homes offer this level of charm and walkability:

• 50 metres from Maynardville Park and Open-Air Theatre
• Walking distance to Chelsea Deli and Four & Twenty Café
• Around the corner from Wynberg Club and the artisanal boutiques that define Chelsea Village
• Centrally positioned within Wynberg Upper: one of the Southern Suburbs’ most character-rich and tightly held neighbourhoods

Rarely does a freestanding cottage of this nature come to market in Chelsea Village.

A truly special home for downsizers, professionals, heritage enthusiasts or those seeking village living with long-term upside.
