Welcome to The Sheiling, an absolutely beautiful and incredible circa early 1800 Colonial building enriched with history.
Nestled privately behind St. Marks Church, the property was constructed along the old Bell's Line of Road linking Hobart Town to Port Dalrymple (Launceston) with part of the road now being utilised as the driveway leading you to this very special country estate.
Originally built as two conjoined cottages from locally quarried sand stone, the home was sold in a derelict state and converted in the 1950's to a single dwelling by Kath Brownell (of Brownell Stores). Kath restored the house and established much of the gardens, stone walls and paths as they are today. The extension was completed in the 1980's using stone salvaged from Baskerville Homestead which burnt down during the 1967 bush fires with some stones still showing burn marks.
