Situated in the well-established Charles Court complex in Manor Gardens, Durban, this light-filled 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment on the second floor offers a welcoming combination of classic character and practical living.

The building's distinctive red-brick façade and mature tree-lined surrounds set a pleasant tone from arrival. Step through the traditional timber-and-frosted-glass front door (Unit 3) into a tiled entrance hall with an intercom for added security. The separate lounge is a standout space: generous in size, graced with original parquet wood-block flooring and a ceiling fan, it enjoys leafy garden views through a large window — bright and tranquil throughout the day. The bedroom is equally spacious, also featuring parquet flooring and ceiling fan, with an additional adjoining room visible beyond — consistent with the description's mention of an enclosed balcony adaptable as a home office or guest nook. A separate kitchen and bathroom complete the layout across 70 m² of internal floor area.

Two dedicated parking bays are included — a rare convenience in this area. The complex is within easy walking distance of the UKZN Howard College campus (approximately 430 m away) and adjacent to the Msinsi Nature Reserve (approximately 360 m), offering a green, academic neighbourhood feel that suits professionals, students, and couples alike.
