Cambridge Road, Great Shelford

A bright, detached bungalow with scope for further development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The property is set in just under a half acre plot and has a tandem garage and parking. Offered with no upward chain.

The property is nicely proportioned and benefits from exceptional gardens with a lovely wooded area to the rear, ideal for relaxation, entertaining or for children to play.

158 Cambridge Road is set well back from the road behind a neat front garden that is laid to lawn with shrub borders. A block paved driveway to the side gives access to a tandem garage and provides parking for several vehicles.

The accommodation is well planned with the front door opening to a welcoming entrance hall, from which the principal rooms are accessed off. The sitting/dining room to the front of the building is a lovely, bright, dual aspect room with plenty of space for sitting and for a dining table and chairs. The adjacent kitchen is fitted with cabinets above and below the working surfaces, and there is a built in double oven, a hob with extractor over, and space for a washing machine and fridge. A small lobby off the kitchen leads to the garden.

The bungalow has three good bedrooms. The main bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has a fitted wardrobe, the second is dual aspect and has a fitted wardrobe, and the smaller third bedroom would still take a double bed and has views of the garden. The property has two bathrooms, a shower room, fitted with a shower enclosure, w.c. and hand basin, and a bathroom with a bath tub, w.c. and hand basin.

A useful loft storage room can be accessed over a loft ladder.

Outside the gardens are a real feature of this home. There is a patio adjacent to the bungalow with a large raised fish pond, beyond which is an area of lawn with shrub beds. At the far end is a beautiful wooded area planted with a wide variety of trees, providing an unexpected oasis, perfect for those who enjoy nature and being outside.

Agents note: The property has oil-fired central heating as it does not have mains gas.

The property is located on the edge of the village, close to the border with Trumpington, so it enjoys the amenities available in both villages.
