Bishopscourt lies on the slopes below Table Mountain, alongside Kirstenbosch and Newlands, and is home to some of Cape Town’s largest residential properties, as well as the Anglican Archbishop’s official residence. Houses here often have big, high-ceilinged rooms, several fireplaces and outbuildings such as cottages and staff quarters. Heating a large room well needs the right size of fireplace, not simply the biggest one.
Like its neighbour Newlands, Bishopscourt has wet winters, mature trees and plenty of mountain shade, so caps, flashings and gutters around chimneys need regular attention. Most properties also have high walls, electric gates and security systems. We arrange access in advance, work to your security procedures, and keep vehicles and materials off driveways and lawns where we can.
A closed-combustion wood fireplace is the classic choice for a Bishopscourt lounge or study, and a correctly sized unit will warm even a large room. Start with our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490, and we will help you match the heat output to the space.
Gas works well for second living areas, main bedrooms and guest cottages on Bishopscourt properties, giving instant heat without carrying wood through the house. Every gas installation includes the gas line and the legally required Certificate of Compliance.
For modern extensions, studies and pool rooms where a flue would spoil the design, bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces add a flame feature without structural work.
Bishopscourt gardens often have the space for a proper outdoor kitchen, with a built-in wood braai, a gas braai beside it, a pizza oven and preparation counters. We plan the layout with you, run gas lines safely, and design chimneys and hoods so smoke clears well above the entertainment area and away from the house. Where there is a lapa or pool terrace, we check clearances to thatch, timber and roofs.
