This beautiful double-storey Victorian terrace in the heart of Mowbray Village is full of original character and very thoughtfully presented.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms with built-in cupboards, as well as a study that is currently used as a small third bedroom. At the top of the iconic Victorian staircase is a full bathroom, with a surprisingly gorgeous view of Devils Peak and the castle-like stone tower of the historic Mowbray Presbyterian Church.

The main bedroom has fitted shelving and lovely rooftop and treetop views through sash windows. Two of the upstairs rooms with French doors open to romantic Juliette balconies, with views, giving the house a lovely sense of space extending beyond the rooms themselves.

Downstairs, the entrance is iconic, with its archway and well-proportioned original Victorian staircase. The living area is open plan, allowing natural light through the space with the lounge, dining room and kitchen flowing together. The lounge has sash windows, aesthetic American security shutters on the street side and an original wood-burning fireplace.

The dining area, with its chandelier, has a beautiful arched picture window overlooking the greenery, bougainvillea and fairy lights of the private courtyard, as an extension of the living area. The courtyard, a favourite space, is open to the sky, perfumed by jasmine in bloom.

The well-fitted galley kitchen has a built-in informal meeting and eating counter, under-counter lighting, gas hob and useful additional pantry storage under the staircase. A guest toilet is conveniently positioned downstairs behind the kitchen. A separate storeroom with laundry room at the back of the kitchen is accessed via the courtyard.

Security is via aesthetic American Shutters.
The property does not have off-street parking, so parking is on the street.

The Area – Mowbray Village
Mowbray Village is a special, small residential pocket of Cape Town, known for its beautiful Victorian architecture and established neighbourhood character.
Albert and Grove Roads are home to 12 Victorian terrace houses, declared National Monuments, which gives the area genuine architectural heritage, and Belmont Road has its own row of Victorian terraces from the same period, with much of their original charm and character intact.

Mowbray Village sits at the point where the city meets the Southern Suburbs, attracting families, young professionals, academics, medical professionals and creatives who appreciate older homes, their architectural character and the quieter residential atmosphere. There is a strong sense of community among residents who value and take pride in this special neighbourhood.

The area is close to UCT, Groote Schuur Hospital, good schools, shops, parks and public transport, while being just minutes from the city centre and Foreshore. Its position is particularly convenient for families travelling to schools in the Southern Suburbs, often against the main flow of traffic.
For buyers who appreciate historic houses with character, a sense of community and a central location, Mowbray Village offers something increasingly hard to find: a quiet, established residential neighbourhood with the convenience of being so close to the city.
