3 Bed House in Aliwal North

This house is comfortable, with old-style, large layout as country homes can be. One of the earlier homes in Aliwal North, it is neat, with a well-maintained garden, water tanks for reserve water and irrigation, and ideally situated almost centre between the Aliwal High School and the Primary School.

From the wide, deep veranda, the front door leads to an open foyer with the large lounge area to the right. The carpeted lounge has huge windows (with louvre blinds), and is fitted with a small cast-iron stove and open steel chimney. To the left corner on the veranda is a closed in braai area, with plenty of space and fitted with a built in braai. The canvas sides can be rolled up or closed as weather dictates .

The 3 bedrooms are spacious, with built-in wardrobes, and all the bedrooms have full floor carpeting. There is sufficient space for two double beds per room should it be required. Two of the bedrooms have an interlinking door. All opening windows are fitted with burglar bars.

The kitchen is fitted with built in cupboards. There is a separate pantry and scullery area, and a built in hob and double eye-level oven. From the kitchen to the dining room you pass through another foyer space, towards the big breakfast lounge and dining area.

Towards the rear of the house is a long, wide sunroom with windows almost the entire length of the one wall, which lets in the morning sun and especially in winter, ample sunlight most of the day. There is also a small heater fitted with an open chimney pipe allowing maximum heat exposure for the cold winter.

At the back of the stand are the outbuildings, consisting of a double garage with enough space for a workshop and another single garage, also large enough for car and packing space or workshop area. There is also an outside toilet for domestic or gardener.

The garden is very well kept and neat, with beautiful lawn and established flower beds. All the watering is managed from the 2 x 5000 litre tanks, as well as smaller tank fitted with electric pump. The whole stand is fenced in by neat devil's fork palisade fence, with pedestrian gate and electric sliding gate for vehicles.

All in all a very practical property, spacious, well situated in a good residential area, in close proximity to the schools and supermarkets. There is also potential for a work-from-home office, especially as the property offers plenty of space for parking if one should so choose.
