Here's a property that does double duty, a comfortable family home, with extra space and flexibility built right in.

This simplex offers porcelain tiles throughout and a fitted kitchen that gives you proper space to cook. Two bedrooms (one with built-in cupboards), a separate shower and toilet, and a lounge fitted with aircon for those warmer Durban months round out the living space.

To the front, there's an additional outbuilding currently let for rental income, a real bonus towards covering your bond. At the back, a separate open-plan room with its own shower and toilet offers even more flexibility, use it as a guest room or staff accommodation.

The whole property is walled for privacy and security, with a carport plus parking for two vehicles.
