Historic house in leafy suburb of Kloof under hammer

IAN WYLES Auctioneers will, at the Durban Country Club, sell a historic residence in Kloof at 11am on March 27.

Andrew Giddy, property manager for Ian Wyles, says the house, Section 1 Tudor Manor at 12 Tudor Road, was once the Kloof railway station master’s residence. The single-storey, free-standing residence – one of only four units in the Tudor Manor secure complex – is being sold as the owner is emigrating. Properties in Kloof are in strong demand, he says.

“The house has a mixture of modernity, coupled with traces of days of old, such as the Oregon pine flooring, bedroom with its own fireplace and farmhouse-style, fully-fitted kitchen with gas fireplace and granite countertops. The location in the Gillitts/kloof area, close to hospitals, police stations, schools, shopping centres and other amenities is another strong selling factor. There is also easy access to the M13 and R103 freeways,” Giddy says.

Some of the main features of the 300m², four-bedroom house include: z Family lounge/entertainment area with fireplace, built-in braai and stack doors leading to covered, secure terracotta-tiled veranda.

z Formal lounge with gas fireplace. z Family bathroom with a freestanding bath.

z Double 36m² garage with automated doors and direct access into the house.
