1 Bedroom Garden Cottage in Constantia

Description

Tucked away on a beautiful six-acre estate in sought-after Price Drive, Upper Constantia, this utterly unique one-bedroom barn conversion is a home for someone who appreciates character, creativity and the beauty of things that are a little imperfect.This is certainly not a conventional rental property. It is quirky, romantic and wonderfully individual, filled with collected treasures, antique finishes and unexpected details that give it enormous personality. The property forms part of a small and rather special community of just seven homes scattered across six acres. The grounds are beautiful and wonderfully rambling. Residents share a communal swimming pool and vegetable garden, adding to the relaxed, almost country-village atmosphere of the estate.The original barn has been cleverly divided into a bedroom on one side and a charming living area on the other. Exquisite herringbone parquet flooring, beautiful Victorian-style tiles, antique light fittings, brass switches and unusual vintage basins are just some of the details that make this little home so special. Almost everywhere you look, there is something interesting to discover.The bathroom is equally characterful, with a shower over the bath and lovely period detailing.The kitchen is wonderfully rustic and unashamedly unconventional, put together with an eclectic collection of vintage pieces rather than modern fitted cabinetry. An old-fashioned gas cooker adds to its charm, although prospective tenants should be aware that the oven is not currently operational. This is a kitchen for someone who will embrace its character rather than expect sleek, contemporary perfection.A separate outbuilding alongside the main barn is currently used as an artist''s studio and provides an exceptional additional space for a creative professional, designer, writer or anyone wanting to work.This is a property with soul. It is not pristine, predictable or suited to someone who wants everything new and perfectly finished. Rather, it is a rare opportunity for a creative individual who appreciates authenticity, beautiful old things and an unconventional way of living.A truly magical little home in one of Upper Constantia''s most beautiful settings - and quite unlike anything else you are likely to find.Gas geyserPrepaid electricitySecure parkingPet friendlyUnfurnishedAvailable 1 October 2026
