- List_of_heritage_sites_in_Stellenbosch,_Somerset_West,_and_Strand description "A short distance from the railway station at the corner which Dorp Street forms with Somerset West Road, stands the first remarkable old house in this street. It is called Libertas Parva or Little Libertas and it is on the right side of the street . The oldest feature of the house is its four side gables; they are of the holbol type, but show a breaking up of the concaves and convexes into wavy lines reminiscent of a similar tendency in the front gables of the Zevenrivieren-Hazendal type, c, 1790. The house may therefore date from 1783 or soon after. Philip Jacob Haupt purchased the farm in 1819 and it must be accepted that he was responsible for the erection of the present front gable, with almost straight outlines, with the two front doors built in and also for the Georgian windows. Their outer surrounding pilasters are continued upward to form the outer gable pilasters. The Libertas Parva building complex is a fine example of the Stellenbosch architecture in the 18th and 19th centuries and lends a particular character to that part of the village. As the home of well-known Stellenbosch families it is also of great historic value.".
- List_of_heritage_sites_in_Stellenbosch,_Somerset_West,_and_Strand description "About nine km from Stellenbosch along the road to Koelenhof a farm road turns off sharply to the right, crosses a bridge and enters a white-washed gateway heavily shadowed by oaks. Behind these trees stands the fine old house of Nooitgedacht. The house was built in 1774, and is an outstanding example of Cape Dutch architecture. Together with the slave bell and the outbuildings which include the wine cellar, it forms a remarkable architectural complex. The farm is also of special importance in the history of pomology in the Western Province.".

The main building is the former parsonage of the Rhenish Church and dates from 1815. One of the back wings of this H-shaped parsonage is connected with the other two buildings forming part of the complex. Of these the so-called Leipoldt House with its large proportions dates from approximately 1832, while the third building with its low dormer gable was converted into a double-storey in about 1860. On one side, the Rhenish Parsonage Complex is enclosed by a long circular wall.".

- List_of_heritage_sites_in_Stellenbosch,_Somerset_West,_and_Strand description "Dorp Street is the old wagon road to Cape Town and, just like three centuries ago, visitors still enter the town along the same road. Thus the old street rightly serves as an introduction to the Town of Oaks, for on both sides of the street one sees the beautiful, shady and gnarled old oak trees of which the biggest old giants probably date back to 1760. The age of the others dates back to the year 1812. The increase in modern traffic which makes the widening of the streets essential, has threatened the life of these trees, but with the cordial co-operation of the Municipality the trees in Dorp Street, between the railway line and Pastorie Street and those in the Avenue between Pastorie and Van Riebeeck Streets, have been proclaimed historical monuments. However, a new danger—leaf-blight—now threatens these ancient trees. Proclaimed 1950.".

- List_of_heritage_sites_in_Stellenbosch,_Somerset_West,_and_Strand description "Grosvenor House is situated next to the Dutch Reformed Church in Drostdy Street. Grosvenor House is associated with the oldest and best-known Stellenbosch and, therefore, South African families. The land on which it stands was granted to Christiaan Ludolph Neethling in 1781. He came to the Cape from Germany in 1741 and became the progenitor of this widespread Afrikaans family. The building also provides a clear demonstration of how a simple structure could develop into a worthy example of Cape architecture. The house that Christiaan Neethling built consisted of a row of single-storeyed thatched rooms in Drostdy Street. At the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries a gable was added above the front door and a room was built on at the back which gave the building the shape of a T. Later additions made it into a full-scale H-shaped house. The sick-comforter, Herold, F added a second storey with a flat roof, an alteration that was at first probably confined to the front part of the house. These changes gave the house a completely new façade: four fluted pilasters with a richly ornamented cornice; a teak stable-door framed by shorter, ribbed pilasters; teak sash-windows with inner shutters of stinkwood and, right at the top, a little palm tree in bas relief, taken from the crest of the community. This is how the house still stands today. The outbuildings on either side of the main house were probably also built in Herold time. Frederick Neethling who occupied the house just when the late Georgian style was fashionable, was probably responsible for the wagon-wheel fanlight. The house, a cultural treasure in its own right, is a worthy repository for relics of the history of Stellenbosch and its neighbourhood.".

Grimpen's widow married Adam Tas and hence the Tas connection. Adam Tas procured the farm in 1702 and lived here until his death in 1722.

He was born at Jangum, East Friesland, in 1762. The house is a U-shaped building with one of the earliest neo-classical pilaster-gables. The pilasters are repeated between the windows.

- List_of_heritage_sites_in_Stellenbosch,_Somerset_West,_and_Strand description "Mostertsdrift, the ancestral farm of the Mostert family in South Africa, is also one of those farms which is really older than the town itself. Johannes Cornelisz Mostert together with his wife, Alida van Hulst, came to the Cape about 1672. Shortly before Simon van der Stel’s arrival, permission was given to Mostert and Pieter Visagie to cultivate the farm Buffelscop to the east of the Tygerberg. But, Buffelscop was a loan-farm and when Simon van der Stel announced in November 1679 that freehold land was available to all who wished to settle along the banks of the Eerste River, Jan Mostert availed himself of the offer. He chose the beautiful piece of land on the north bank of the Eerste River where the present residential area, Mostertsdrift, is situated. The homestead of Mostertsdrift, situated among shady oak-trees and surrounded by a high wall, is not only part of the early history of the Town of Oaks, but also an elegant example of an old-fashioned, aristocratic group of farm-buildings in the Boland.".

The style of architecture indicates that it was built in the first decade of the 19th century. The house is also one of the very few with an authentic arched gateway next to the main building. This gate gives access from the street to the back-yard.".
- List_of_heritage_sites_in_Stellenbosch,_Somerset_West,_and_Strand description "Old Nectar is architecturally one of the finest and best-known gabled houses of the old Cape type. The front of this house is one of the most striking in the Western Cape, an outstanding example of the late neo-classical type of gable. The impressive appearance of the gable is due to the perfect proportions of the elevation as well as the unique design of the gable itself. The gable occupies precisely one-third of the narrow facade, a circumstance which gives it height and prominence. The balance is preserved by a full-width and a half-width window on each side of the door and a full-width dormer window above it. The front stable door and fanlight together with the sash windows, small panes and wooden shutters, all form a harmonious whole. The gable derives its particular character from four pilasters which rise without interruption from the stoep, the vase on each of the pilasters and the triangular pediment. The monotony of the plain plastered spaces between the pilasters is broken by festoons.".

- List_of_heritage_sites_in_Stellenbosch,_Somerset_West,_and_Strand description "One of the first farmers to be granted land beyond the confines of the Cape Peninsula in about 1680, was Henning Husing, a large-scale cattle farmer who for many years enjoyed the monopoly of supplying meat to the Dutch East India Company. His farm, which he called Meerlust, was situated on the Eerste River, a short distance north of where Faure is today. Not only did it become one of the most important historical farms in the area, but the fine gabled house which was recently restored by the owner remains an outstanding example of Cape Dutch architecture.".

Opposite the Town Hall, almost hidden between modern business buildings, there is an attractive little gateway with beautiful baroque gables in the style that stood in Plein Street at the end of the 19th century. For many years it was thought to be the entrance to the old graveyard, but later researches and a drawing of Stellenbosch made in 1710 prove that this could not have been the case. The fact that it can no longer be regarded as the entrance to the old cemetery does not detract in the least from its beauty or its architectural and cultural-historical values.".

- List_of_heritage_sites_in_Stellenbosch,_Somerset_West,_and_Strand description "Thaba 'Nchu is a single storeyed semi-detached house in the high Victorian style, which was built in 1900 by James Rattray, the grandson of a British teacher brought over from England by Lord Charles Somerset. Thaba 'Nchu is not only a typical example of late Victorian houses erected in Stellenbosch at the turn of the century, but is also the only one of its kind which has been restored to its authentic colour scheme, an important feature being the simulated brick pattern of the outside walls. The walls are plastered with a raised narrow moulding applied in the first instance in a brickwork design and then painted black. From a distance the black lines against the ochre coloured plaster gives the impression that the wall is constructed of brick. The rustication is accentuated by white paint. The stoep is covered by a candy-striped curved corrugated-iron verandah, supported on cast-iron pillars which are decorated with delicate flower-and-leaves tracery. The section of the wall above the verandah and below the eaves has been painted white with black etchings, giving it a Tudor look. The large, gracefully curved, wooden end-gable was completely re-fashioned during restoration.".
