Sunnyside
The name says it all, sunny, bright and cheerful, this suburb has a cross-pollination of young and old. Located on the north-facing slopes of Grahamstown, many of Sunnyside's properties are north-facing and warm and bright!
Sunnyside is old world charm at its best! Starting from the old Market Square where Grahamstown's original trading took place, and stretching up the gentle slope, many Sunnyside properties come with cottage pane windows, yellow wood floors and Oregon pine ceilings. Fireplaces still form an integral part of warming the cold winter months. This is where young couples can afford to start their future, where academics can have the peace and quiet to work undisturbed, where retirees can enjoy the late afternoon sun on their porch - the Melrose of Johannesburg is found here! This suburb has so much character and includes the famous Cross Street with all the renovated old Settlers cottages, so many of them national monuments protected under the Radcliffe Report. There are so many natural monuments in this suburb that it would be difficult to count them!
Sunnyside properties vary in style and architecture from old Settler cottages to modern family homes. There are houses perched on the side of the old Port Alfred road, there are those immediately below P J Olivier School with their unique views and many more in between. The choice is endless! This suburb truly emphasizes the cosmopolitan lifestyle.
Hoerskool P.J. Olivier, the only Afrikaans school in Grahamstown, is found perched high on a rocky slope. It is a dual-medium school with scholars from across the culture spectrum and they enjoy panoramic views from their classrooms. There is also a beautiful nursery with tea-room which spoils you for choice. Sunnyside is also within easy walking distance from Rhodes University and Victoria Girl's School, senior and junior.
Sunnyside properties are diverse in their style and architecture, offering options to all buyers and with your new home will come some good old Eastern Cape charm!
