We bought this property in 2015 shortly before moving to the UK for a couple of years. At the end of 2023, we returned to South Africa and decided to renovate the property ahead of moving in.
The tenants we had while we were away looked after the property very well but being built 20+ years ago, it was very dated.
The layout of the kitchen and bathroom, specifically, made them feel much smaller than they are.
We wanted to make the most of the natural light the property gets to create an airy look and feel.
