About
This stately and spacious house offers plenty of space and overlooks
the greater part of Grahamstown, Rhodes University and The 1820
Settler's Monument.
It's situated in an upmarket, tranquil area between Kingswood College and Graeme College. Just 2kms from the town centre, The White House is close enough to all the attractions and festivals of the town, yet far enough removed from its noise and traffic. Usually, the only sounds you'll wake up to are the early morning symphonies of the abundant birdlife, greeting the day.
