With the city, UCT, Rosebank, Observatory, major routes, and the mountain all within easy reach, the location is one of the home’s strongest advantages, placing you roughly ten minutes from town while still enjoying the familiarity of an established neighbourhood. Mowbray has long formed part of Cape Town’s historic southern corridor, shaped by its position below Devil’s Peak and near the Liesbeek River. It is a suburb known for its older homes, convenient access, and neighbourhood rhythm, where Victorian cottages still sit close to the movement of the city while holding onto the character of old Cape Town. A small stairway leads up to the front door, with parking available directly outside the house. Stepping inside, a compact entrance area opens into the lounge, where parquet flooring, high ceilings, a cosy fireplace, and built in bookcases on either side create a warm and welcoming living space. The open plan kitchen connects naturally to the lounge and is fitted with tiled finishes, a gas stove, and a beautiful counterweighted pendant light that adds character to the room. Wooden French doors on parliament hinges open from this part of the home into the private garden, where a paved dining area is framed by manicured planting and greenery, creating a lovely setting for relaxed outdoor meals. From the lounge, the main bedroom is privately positioned with built in cupboards and an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom is well finished and cosy, with a shower over bath and tiled finishes that keep the space practical and comfortable. Beyond the kitchen, the scullery and pantry area lead to the second downstairs bedroom. This tiled room is currently arranged to accommodate a queen size bed comfortably and also benefits from additional side access, giving it a practical sense of independence within the home. From the scullery and pantry area, a staircase leads up to the attic space, currently used as a work from home office. It offers a peaceful third bedroom or study beneath the roofline, adding flexibility for tenants who need a quiet place to work, read, or retreat. The side access also provides a useful service route for refuse collection and includes a tool shed for additional storage, keeping the practical parts of the home neatly separate from the living and entertaining areas. Beyond the private garden, a gate leads into a shared walkway used by the neighbouring residents. This walkway leads to what residents fondly refer to as the secret garden, a private shared garden area available only to the surrounding homes. It adds a rare and charming layer to the property, giving the cottage a sense of community and discovery that is not often found in city living. The home is offered fully furnished, with a two month deposit required. Water, electricity, and internet are for the tenant’s account. As part of the screening process, prospective tenants will be required to complete a credit check at their own cost, and a lease application fee will apply. Viewings are by appointment only. Please contact Marc to arrange your private viewing. Looking for a 6 month lease with potential to renew for a further 6 months. ## Agent - Marc Wilson — 0617786947 — marc.wilson@rawson.co.za ## Office - Constantia Rentals — 021 761 1055 --- [View this property on rawson.co.za](https://rawson.co.za/property/to-rent/constantia-rentals/1351262)
