Homes and buildings in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a small historic town on the Klip River with a core of Victorian and Edwardian buildings from the Anglo-Boer War siege. Around the centre, Model, Acaciaville and Intabazwe hold older houses and flats, while Ezakheni and Steadville are dense township areas where owners keep building out their yards. The town is dry for much of the year, hot in summer, cold in winter and prone to heavy thunderstorms, and parts of the flat riverside land can flood. Colenso, Roosboom and Van Reenen sit around it with farms and holiday cottages. Plans are drawn by a few local draughtspersons and by firms from Pietermaritzburg.
Typical commercial floor plans requests in the area come from:
- Families building a new house: plans to run a home business from a converted garage, with the zoning questions checked
- Owners adding or changing rooms: a layout for turning part of a house into a studio, consulting room or small shop
