Original Westcliff Cottage.. This lovely heritage cottage is situated on the fringe of the central business area of Westcliff, Hermanus, within easy walking distance of shops, hospitals and the beautiful Cliff Path.
The cottage oozes old-world charm and character, with a lovely established garden that also provides off-street parking. The property is divided into two separate lettable units in the main house, both currently offering income-generating potential. There is also a separate garden cottage, making this a property with plenty of possibilities for an investor, extended family or someone looking to live on the property while generating additional rental income.
The main house has retained many of its original features, including high ceilings, wooden and vinyl flooring and a number of charming character details. The living areas have wood-burning combustion stoves, making them warm and cosy during the colder winter evenings.
Unit A has a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and built-in cupboards. There is also a smaller room which could be used as a second bedroom, study or additional living space, as well as a separate bathroom. The unit has its own entrance and stoep and opens onto the shaded garden at the back.
Cottage B offers two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a cosy living area and a kitchen. Like Unit A, it has access to the lovely shaded garden at the rear of the property.
Cottage C is a separate garden cottage situated away from the main house. It consists of a living area, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom and could be used as additional accommodation or let out separately.
The property is Heritage Grade 3B, so the historic character of the home will need to be retained, and any alterations or renovations will have to take the heritage status into consideration.
This is an older property and does require some TLC and investment to bring it back to its former glory. For someone with vision and an appreciation for old homes, however, it offers an exciting opportunity to restore a piece of Westcliff''s character while benefiting from its central location and multiple accommodation options.
A charming property with history, character and income potential, all in a very convenient part of Hermanus.
