Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family residence set on approximately one acre of gently sloping land along Newbold Road, off Warwick Road in Borrowdale.
Offering generous accommodation, established grounds, excellent privacy and a range of recreational and ancillary features, this property presents an appealing opportunity for a family seeking space, character and lifestyle within one of Harare’s established northern suburbs.
THE RESIDENCE
The main residence provides four generously proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, together with multiple reception and family living areas.
The accommodation comprises:
* Four spacious bedrooms with extensive built-in cupboards
* Two bathrooms
* Generous formal lounge
* Additional family lounge and dining area
* Separate dining space
* Private study/home office
* Large fitted kitchen
* Extensive fitted cabinetry and storage
* Double lock-up garage
The formal lounge is a particularly spacious reception area, featuring an attractive decorative ceiling, feature lighting and large windows that provide good natural light. It offers ample space for formal entertaining and family gatherings.
A second family living and dining area provides a more relaxed setting and features a distinctive timber-lined ceiling and feature brickwork, adding warmth and character to the home.
The large fitted kitchen is both practical and generously proportioned, with extensive timber cabinetry, granite worktops, a double sink, generous preparation surfaces and substantial storage and appliance space.
The bedrooms are well sized and benefit from extensive built-in cupboards, providing excellent storage. The main bedroom offers particularly generous floor space and comfortable accommodation.
The bathrooms are functional and established, with finishes reflecting the age and character of the residence. The property provides an excellent opportunity for a new owner to undertake selective modernisation and personalisation over time.
OUTDOOR & LIFESTYLE FEATURES
The approximately one-acre stand is one of the property’s defining features.
The gently sloping grounds provide a sense of openness, privacy and established character, with mature vegetation and generous outdoor areas surrounding the residence.
The property includes:
* Private tennis court
* Existing swimming pool, currently not in use and requiring refurbishment
* Mature established grounds
* Borehole
* Extensive paved parking
* Double lock-up garage
* Staff accommodation
* Additional utility and storage areas
* Secure perimeter wall and gated entrance
The private tennis court is a particularly attractive lifestyle feature and provides a recreational amenity that is increasingly difficult to find within established residential suburbs.
The existing swimming pool is currently not operational and will require refurbishment before being brought back into use. For a purchaser looking to enhance the property, it presents an opportunity to create an attractive private pool and entertainment area.
LOCATION
The property is situated along Newbold Road, accessed from Warwick Road in Borrowdale, within an established residential setting characterised by spacious traditional homes and generous residential plots.
The location offers convenient access to the amenities, schools, shopping centres, restaurants and services available throughout Borrowdale and the wider northern suburbs of Harare.
Its established setting, generous land component and quiet residential environment make it particularly suited to buyers seeking a substantial private family home away from the more densely developed residential areas.
SPACE, CHARACTER & POTENTIAL
This property offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find: approximately one acre of residential land, a substantial existing family home and established recreational facilities within Borrowdale.
The home retains the generous proportions and character associated with established residences of its era, while offering considerable scope for a purchaser to modernise selected areas and create a home tailored to their own requirements.
Beyond the existing accommodation, the substantial land holding provides excellent scope for further landscaping, enhancement and potentially alternative development or additional improvements, subject to the requisite planning, municipal and statutory approvals.
The property therefore appeals to a range of purchasers, including:
* Families seeking a spacious private residence;
* Buyers looking for a large established property with recreational amenities;
* Purchasers who value mature grounds and privacy;
* Buyers seeking a property with scope for modernisation and enhancement; and
* Investors or developers interested in the longer-term potential of a substantial residential land holding, subject to approvals.
