About this property

Nestled within the prestigious Manor House — a striking multi-storey heritage building in Manor Gardens, Durban — this generous 130 m² three-bedroom apartment offers a rare combination of historic character and everyday practicality. The open-plan lounge is a standout feature, showcasing rich parquet timber flooring throughout and ceiling fans for comfort in the KwaZulu-Natal climate. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a communal bathroom and a separate toilet. The kitchen completes the functional layout.

Residents enjoy the building's beautifully landscaped communal gardens, framed by towering palms and lush subtropical planting — an unusually tranquil setting for an urban apartment. Security is addressed via CCTV cameras, and the unit comes with a single lock-up garage.

The location is exceptionally convenient: Manor Gardens Primary School is virtually on the doorstep, UKZN's Howard College campus is approximately 430 m away — ideal for academic staff or investors — and Msinsi Nature Reserve is under 400 m away for weekend walks. Mundy Park and Grenick Park are both within 700 m, while everyday essentials are met by nearby eateries and a supermarket within 1 km.
