Last Listing description (March 2019)

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.

With a touch of contemporary style the home has been crafted to perfection to suit growing families of all ages or the flexibility to create an escape from city living with a country B&B. Meticulously maintained with beautiful high ceilings greeting you, the country inspired kitchen showcases huon pine cupboards and benches with a modern Belling induction stove. The ground floor caters for family entertaining with an elegant formal living room adjacent to the kitchen with two staircases leading to the upstairs accommodation featuring dormer windows and a truncated roofline with two bedrooms, sunny sitting area and bathroom.
Privately positioned with the ease of separating the two areas, the extension has created an area for a parents retreat or bed and breakfast accommodation which provides a master bedroom with additional bedroom or study, bathroom and a stylish living room.
Outside enjoy taking a walk around and breathe the fresh country air and enjoy listening to the many birds and wildlife with pure serenity. Explore the enchanting gardens surrounding the home with significant established mature fruit trees and an outstanding oak tree estimated to be around 150 years old. For the hobby farm enthusiast there is an enclosed cleared paddock ideal for small animals with remains of the old Green Ponds railway line (now covered) which runs across the very back of the property.
Offering a unique and enviable lifestyle with tree hedging surrounding the immediate boundaries for added privacy and plenty of space for recreational vehicles, secure parking in the garage with dual driveways adding convenience with a carport located within metres from the front door.
This enticing property will be sure to leave an impression with elegance and history, please contact me today to arrange a private viewing.
