Lords House
The location of this property is in Bishopscourt, Constantia and overlooks the World Heritage site of Kirstenbosh Gardens. From the proposed location of their future reception rooms, one couldn’t even see a neighbouring house due to the trees, which framed the overall view of the mountain and Kirstenbosch.

Lastly, they needed accommodation to cater for an extended family and children; but still wanted to be abl... More
