2 bedroom detached bungalow

This true bungalow stands in a large garden plot and is located in a rural position close to Norland Moor. The name Shieling is derived from the Scottish word describing a temporary homestead used in the summer months on seasonal pasture high on the hills, rather apt considering the property’s elevated location abutting open fields.

The accommodation in this well-presented home includes a living room, sun room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and shower room. There is an attached boiler room which could provide additional living accommodation, subject to planning permission.

Outside there are beautifully manicured lawn gardens surrounding the property with mature shrub borders, a gated driveway leading to plentiful parking, a double garage, single garage and a large, open-fronted car port/garden store.

The property is available with NO UPWARD CHAIN.

In addition there is a large boiler room with both internal and external access, providing excellent storage and the potential to create further living accommodation subject to planning permission.

There is additional parking on the lawn directly in front of the garages and store and a further pea-gravelled parking area to the side of the property.

There is a stone-flagged patio outside the sun room, an ideal spot to enjoy the sunshine and delightful rural views.
