Set in a tranquil lane in the sought after central parish of St Andrew’s, Shieling Cottage is a family home with potential. Boasting pleasant rural views from all angles, it is currently a three bedroom house but such is the appeal of the elevated plot, any development or extension would be well worthwhile.The original property was build in the 60s on a former greenhouse site and although the majority of the house is comfortably habitable, it would benefit from refurbishment, including rewiring and replumbing. For instance, there is scope to develop the secondary loft into a master bedroom. The living space is currently very quirky but, with not too much work, a spacious and more conventional layout could be achieved, with the large family kitchen at its heart.The garden is delightful and south facing, enjoying those rural views and bordered predominantly by an open field. It is home to a large selection of mature shrubs, trees and plants, as well as two generous patio areas. The single garage opens on to two store rooms, although some structural work is required to these storage spaces to maximise their potential.Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the potential of this home which is a very rare opportunity in such an idyllic spot.
