• D energy

Townhouse to rent on the Posthumalaan — 203 m², five bedrooms, garden behind. A 1909 building with the height and the detail you would expect, kept in reasonable order rather than restored. Two bathrooms, both functional. The label is D and the heating bills in winter are real; the rent has been set with that understood. Twelve months minimum, unfurnished. Suits a large household or a family that wants the space more than the finish.

• 5 beds
• 8 rooms
• D energy

Substantial townhouse over four floors, 239 m² in total, with a walled garden behind and the original stairwell running the full height of the building. The reception rooms on the first floor have their ceiling mouldings and panelled doors intact, and the height — a little over three metres — is what you are really buying. Five bedrooms above, arranged two and three, with the largest at the front taking the full width. The lower ground floor is currently storage and a workshop, with its own entrance to the street, and has been used as a practice by a previous owner; it would convert to an independent unit without much argument from the layout. The garden is walled on three sides and faces west, so it holds the light until late. Mature planting along the back wall, a paved terrace off the kitchen, and a brick shed that is sounder than it looks. This is a 1910 building that has been lived in rather than restored, and the specification is honest about it. The label is D and the single glazing at the front is the reason; the sellers have a quotation for secondary glazing to the front elevation which they are happy to pass on. The roof was redone in 2014 and the rear elevation insulated at the same time. Electrics are original to the 1980s rewire and will want attention within a few years. Offered with the garden furniture and the shed. Under offer at the time of writing.
