"A most attractive striped verandah protects a perfectly intact mid 19th Century Cape Georgian façade with elegant eight-paneled teak front doors and 4 x 3 paned sliding sash windows. Note the beautiful decorative plasterwork surrounding the attic windows above the verandah. This is another excellent example of historical layering where an earlier Cape Dutch house c1800 was progressively altered in the style of the period."
