An attractive, exceptionally bright, well planned, detached family home, with a garage, mature garden, and off road parking. The property has undergone extensive improvements during our client's ownership and it enjoys an efficient B rated EPC.

Set in a quiet location, close to the village centre and station, the property benefits from many appealing features, including a bright, dual aspect sitting room, and an extension that provides a separate dining room, with a large first-floor bedroom above.

Approached over a neat front garden, the front door opens into a small hallway with a cloakroom off and the staircase leading up to the first floor. The sitting room is lovely dual aspect room, with a large front window and patio doors to the rear. The room has ample space at one end for seating and for a study or play area adjacent to the patio doors at the other. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and is fitted with a range of cabinets set above and below the working surfaces; there is an integrated dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, and a built in double oven and induction hob with extractor over. There is also a traditional built in pantry. The adjacent dining room is generously proportioned and has patio doors leading out to the garden. On the ground floor, there is also a rear lobby with a door out to the garden and a second door that gives access to the garage.

On the first floor, there is a spacious landing leading to three double bedrooms, a single, and a family bathroom. The largest bedroom is dual aspect and has a door out to the balcony at one end and built in cupboards at the other. The second is a generous double and there is a slightly smaller third bedroom with a built in cupboard that houses the boiler. The fourth bedroom is still a good sized single and has a built in cupboard. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, separate shower enclosure, concealed cistern w.c., and vanity cupboard with hand basin over.

Outside the front garden is partially block paved to provide parking, there is a pedestrian path to one side of the house that gives access to the rear garden and an area of lawn planted with a variety of shrubs to the other. The rear garden has been thoughtfully planted with a range range of shrubs, trees, and flowers, there is a patio adjacent to the house and an area of lawn. The garden is southeast facing.

The property is fitted with solar panels which generate electricity that is fed back into the grid on the FIT (feed in tarrif) scheme. The panels generate an annual income of between £800 and £900.

Agents note: The integrated Bosch washing machine was newly fitted in late 2023.

Birch Trees Road is conveniently located for easy access to the Add enbrooke's Hospital and Bio-Medical Campus which is a 12 minute, principally off road cycle ride, whilst the centre of Cambridge can be reached within about 20 minutes by bike.

Great Shelford is one of the most sought-after villages south of the city thanks to its easy access to town and Addenbrooke's by road, regular buses, car-free purpose-built cycleway, and train from its mainline railway station that also goes direct to London Liverpool Street.

The historic village centre has an excellent range of amenities including two small supermarkets, a convenience store, a deli, hairdressers, doctors, dentist, dispensing chemists, two pubs, restaurants, and more. The primary school is very well regarded and there are various community facilities and social clubs. The large recreation ground has a new pavilion, tennis club, and sports pitches and annually hosts the excellent Shelford Feast Festival.

It is a great community for those looking for a balance of convenience and a traditional village feel and offers the real possibility of living day-to-day without the need to regularly drive out of the village.
