Heritage House in Stanford Village

This heritage house is one of Stanford’s originals. An elegantly aged centenarian in the classic Cape Dutch style, it’s a lived-in gem waiting to welcome you. Our characterful home has many of the original features- shuttered windows, wooden floors, and is decorated in simple, beautiful vintage style. The house has three spacious bedrooms (one ensuite), lounge, dining area and fully equipped kitchen. A small study and front and back verandahs offer additional spaces to relax in. The space A beautiful closed combustion fireplace in the lounge forms the warm heart of the house, which leads into to the adjoining dining and kitchen spaces. High ceilings, wooden beams and original wooden floors lend a traditional coziness that’ll have you putting your feet up, country style, in no time! The two downstairs bedrooms are single and double sleepers respectively, and feature lovely old-time touches like wooden window shutters and antique furniture. The bathroom with bath and shower facilities and a separate toilet are located in the passage off the lounge. Upstairs you’ll find the master bedroom with king sized, extra-length bed and spacious en-suite bathroom with claw foot tub, toilet and shower. This bedroom is huge, and extra floor mattresses are available to accommodate extra guests or children here, in the study at the foot of the stairs, or elsewhere in the house. As you relax into the gentle village rhythms here, time slows down and loses its insistence. Undisturbed hours can be whiled away in the lush garden; a private and secure haven to picnic among the fruit trees, veggie patch and prolific lavender bushes. Morning sun greets the back verandah, making alfresco breakfast around the retro Formica table a delightful start to the day. In the late afternoons the front ‘stoep’ is a perfect spot for tea and sundowners. The view spills onto quiet roads and dusty lanes, affording a glimpse of authentic Stanford life passing by - a restful joy to savour. Steeped in history as it is, with many of the original fittings retained, our home neglects none of the modern conveniences and amenities you’d expect, and a few more: uncapped wi-fi, a washer-dryer, an orange juicer- even an ice cream machine! Guest access The entire house is available for your use.
