Shepreth Road, Barrington, Cambridge

A stunning, detached period residence, beautifully presented throughout with planning permission for a substantial two-storey extension, set within mature gardens and grounds, located on the edge of this highly desirable and pretty South Cambridgeshire village.

This beautiful, detached period residence is stylishly presented throughout and set within mature and private gardens and grounds overlooking paddocks and just a short walk from the village green, store and public house. The current owner has greatly improved the property in their tenure and has secured planning permission for a generous two-storey extension plus a carport (plans available upon request). This extension will greatly improve the ground floor accommodation and will add and ensuite bedroom to the upstairs accommodation.

The accommodation comprises a generous, welcoming reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor accommodation and original stripwood flooring. There are two elegantly presented reception rooms including a dual aspect dining room and a bay windowed sitting room both with feature fireplaces and attractive original features. The kitchen / breakfast room overlooks the garden and is fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample fitted working surfaces with a six-ring gas range with an extractor over and space for a dishwasher and fridge-freezer. Just off the kitchen is a large conservatory extension, which in turn has a cloakroom w.c. and laundry room off also.

Upatsirs off the galleried landing are three double bedrooms and a luxury family bathroom with both bath tub and shower.

Outside, the property is approached via a five-bar gate opening to an expansive gravelled parking area and leading to a garage with a cellar and a handy workshop. Gated access leads to the rear garden, which is laid mainly to well-maintained and shaped lawns with well-stocked flower and shrub borders and beds, a selection of pleasant trees and mature bushes, a generous paved patio area and all with views over paddocks beyond. The garden enjoys excellent levels of privacy and seclusion.
