Originally built in the early 1980's, Shangrila has been lovingly maintained throughout and offers spacious single storey accommodation including 3 double bedrooms, 4 reception rooms, a kitchen diner, bathroom and a useful utility and office. The property is centrally positioned within a sizeable, level plot providing landscaped gardens and ample off road parking, as well as views over the neighbouring fields and woodland. There is an attached garage/store, as well as a sizeable timber garage/workshop. For efficiency and ease of maintenance the bungalow also benefits UPVC double glazed windows, external doors, fascias and soffits and in addition has roof solar panels. The property is also offered for sale with no upward chain.

Inside, the accommodation is made up of a light and airy conservatory with a door leading into the useful utility and separate doors opening into the office and L-shaped kitchen diner complete with integrated appliances. Doors from the office open into a W.C and the back of the garage/store. From the kitchen diner, doors lead into the formal dining room and the hallway where separate doors open into the bathroom, a useful airing cupboard, the spacious living room, a further conservatory/reception room and all 3 double bedrooms. The bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes, while the living room has a feature fireplace and sliding doors leading out to the garden. Similarly the conservatory has sliding doors leading out to the opposite side garden.

Outside, a gated tarmacadam driveway leads to the attached garage/store and a parking area where there is space for a number of vehicles. The good-sized level gardens allow you to follow the sun throughout the day and are largely laid to lawn along with a paved patio seating area, which is perfect for relaxing on within the warmer months. There are well-defined fenced and hedged boundaries providing plenty of privacy, flowered borders and views towards Silia Wood, while to the one side of the bungalow is a sizeable timber garage/workshop, as well as a further timber potting/storage shed.

Location-wise, Shangrila offers the best of both town and country living and is conveniently situated approximately 1/4 of a mile from the vibrant town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities, while in contrast, simply walk out of the entrance gates and you will find yourself roaming along a winding country lane surrounded by fields stocked with sheep and cows and views across the rolling hills and woodlands. For those with children, the property is helpfully positioned approximately 200 yards from Presteigne Primary School, while for dog and walking lovers, the entrance to Silia Wood, part of a woodland trust with its many trails, is found approximately 250 yards away.
