Bishopscourt is one of those Cape Town suburbs that people want to call home.

Drop the fact that you live there casually into conversation and people give you that eyebrow-raised nod of approval, because you’re clearly doing something right.

For those who can’t afford to buy property, but are fine with burning through cash to rent, we thought we’d have a look at what R48 000 gets you these days.

In this case, according to the Pam Golding listing, it’s a six-bedroom, 1,670 m² house that comes with this write-up:

This large family home, epitomises the ultimate comfort and space.

With its distinctive features and attention to detail this double volume space creates a seamless indoor / outdoor flow to large patios overlooking a well manicured garden and sparkling pool.

Simply add your own special touch to turn this home into your family’s haven.

And now, we snoop:

Yup, pretty damn decent.

There are more than 50 photos of the property on the listing, in case you’ve been left wanting more.
