House Jolly - Kraaibosch - George

Located in Kraaibosch Country Estate (George), House Jolly was built on a flat corner property with limited mountain views to the north.

Modern architectural elements are incorporated within the framework of a very basic and economic structure. An impressive, 'framed' double volume entrance feature welcomes visitors to the dwelling. Visual focal points are created by setting off red face brick elements, against a backdrop of grey hued walls. Textured depth is achieved by the combination of bagged, smooth plastered and face brick surfaces.

The 208m² square dwelling punches way above its weight, sporting 3x queen sized bedrooms on the first floor, of which one is an en-suite provided with a separate dressing room. The main bedroom lives onto a pergola balcony that provides coverage for the patio below - all with north facing mountain views.
