Nestled in the highly desirable suburb of Wynberg Upper, bordering the famous Chelsea Village, this character-filled Victorian cottage offers a rare opportunity to put your own stamp on a family home in one of Cape Town’s most established and convenient neighbourhoods. Now released to the market for the first time in 37 years, the property needs some attention, but is structurally sound and liveable.
With its classic charm and solid bones, this home is the perfect blank canvas for buyers looking to personalise and enhance a period property. Offering three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a kitchen that opens out onto the back garden, the layout provides wonderful potential for decoration or expansion to suit modern family living.
The home retains beautiful traditional features, including two fully working fireplaces, adding warmth and character to the living spaces during the cooler months.
The garden offers established trees and bird life, and a safe space for children to play while you entertain friends on the patio under the avocado pear tree. Every window in the house has a view of greenery. The existing layout provides endless possibilities for those with vision, either to extend the living areas or to emphasise Victorian charm.
Its location is exceptional, with the property positioned close to some of the Southern Suburbs’ most sought-after schools and amenities, including Maynardville Park and Wynberg Library:
• 1 minute from Wynberg Boys’ and Girls’ Preparatory and High Schools
• 2 minutes from Springfield Convent School
• 4 minutes from the American International School of Cape Town
• 6 minutes from Western Province Junior School
• 6 minutes from Constantia Village Shopping Centre
• 5 minutes from the Alphen Greenbelt
• 9 minutes to Cavendish Square
This is a rare opportunity to secure a Victorian cottage in a prime Wynberg Upper location, ideal for families, renovators, or buyers looking to invest in a home with solid accommodation and tremendous potential.
