Description
Sheilings is a detached bungalow of timber frame construction with cedar clad elevations under a shingle tiled roof.  The original bungalow dates from before the 1950s and an extension was added in the 1970s.  It is anticipated that an incoming buyer may enjoy the property as it is, potentially extend it or even look to use the site as a blank canvas and construct a new house.  

A door to the front of the property leads to a hallway.  Off this is a triple aspect sitting room with night storage heater and blocked fireplace.  The kitchen has windows to the front and rear and has high and low-level wall units with an integral electric oven and halogen hob as well as a stainless steel sink and a Rayburn.  Off this is the dining room which overlooks the rear of the property and has a night storage heater.  The rear hallway has an airing cupboard with hot water cylinder, access to the utility room, two bedrooms and bathroom.  Both bedrooms are doubles and have windows to the front of the property.  One has built-in cupboards and both have night storage heaters.  The bathroom comprises a WC, washbasin and bath and has a window overlooking the rear garden.  The utility room has high and low-level wall units, worksurface and a stainless steel sink.  It has plumbing for a washing machine.  There is also a door to the exterior.

The Outside
The property is approached via a drive providing off-road parking.  Adjacent to this is an outbuilding of timber frame construction under a steel profile roof that is divided into three sections.  The first measures 20’ x 14’, the second 13’7 x 14’5 and the third 12’ x 7’.  

The gardens surround the house.  There are more formal areas laid to grass that contain shrubs.  Beyond this, much of the grounds are woodland.  In all it extends to just under 1.5 acres.

Viewing – Strictly by appointment with the agent.  

Services – Mains water and electricity.  Night storage heaters.  Private drainage system (whilst the vendors have no reason to believe that the septic tank does not work in a satisfactory manner, it is unlikely to comply with the modern regulations and a buyer should budget to install a new sewage treatment plant.  The cost of this has been taken into account within the guide price).
