Old School Court, Great Shelford

2 Old School Court is a beautifully presented and deceptively spacious three-bedroom home set within an award-winning over-55s development in the heart of Great Shelford. Built in 2011/2012 by Hill Residential, Old School Court combines traditional character with contemporary comfort, forming part of a thoughtfully converted school building that enjoys a peaceful setting with views over the landscaped communal gardens.

The property is one of just three homes created within the original school structure and offers generous, flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. The front door opens into a bright and welcoming entrance hall, from which all principal ground floor rooms are accessed. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units and integrated appliances, while the spacious open-plan living/dining room extends across the rear of the house and enjoys dual windows overlooking the gardens, providing an elegant space for entertaining or relaxing. French doors lead directly onto a private terrace, offering a secluded spot for outdoor dining or enjoying the afternoon sun. A cloakroom and under-stair storage complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom two is a spacious double room with garden views, while bedroom three could serve equally well as a study or guest room. The top floor is occupied by bedroom one, a stunning suite featuring a large double bedroom, built-in storage, and a private en-suite shower room.

The property benefits from allocated parking and use of beautifully maintained communal gardens to the rear, which offer a tranquil outlook from all principal rooms. The development is designed exclusively for residents aged over 55 and is ideally located within walking distance of Great Shelford’s range of shops, services, and transport links including the mainline station.

Number 2 Old School Court offers a rare opportunity to secure a substantial and stylish home within a sought-after, secure development that balances independence with community, all in one of South Cambridgeshire’s most desirable villages.

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 and car-free purpose-built cycleway. Trains from its mainline railway station go directly to Cambridge or 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 chemist, 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.
