Bangs Close, Shudy Camps

The front driveway sets the tone: wide, private and framed by mature hedging, with parking for several vehicles and access to the double garage. Inside, the house has been sensitively modernised, styled and recently decorated while keeping its country, period character.

On the ground floor there is a bright, welcoming reception hall with a feature fireplace and space to sit and relax, giving the house an immediate sense of comfort and scale.

The sitting room is an elegant, panelled space with soft lighting, generous proportions, and double doors to the garden. It’s the sort of room built for long evenings and larger gatherings.

To the rear, the kitchen/dining room stretches across the back of the house and is very much the everyday heart of the home. Features include classic shaker cabinetry, range-style cooker, Butler sink, granite worktops, space for a large family table, a wood burning stove and French doors to the garden.

There is a large home office with a vaulted ceiling creating a feeling of light and space completing the ground floor.

The layout gives excellent separation of living spaces while remaining connected and practical.

First Floor
The first floor provides five well-proportioned bedrooms. One of which (bedroom 2) is positioned away from the others, allowing additional privacy, it features hand crafted cupboards and storage and a further sleeping space.

Bedroom 1 has lovely garden views, fitted storage and a smart, contemporary en-suite with walk-in rain shower. The remaining three bedrooms are all generous in size and there is a stylish, modern family bathroom with twin sinks, bath and separate shower, and there is an additional WC.

The Annexe
The detached annexe is one of Southlawns’ strongest features. Located to the side of the house with its own entrance, it includes a spacious hall, large living room overlooking the gardens, fitted kitchen with appliances, two double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom.

Whether for extended family, a dependent relative, a teenager wanting independence, visiting guests or, most notably, short- or long-term rental income, the annexe offers outstanding flexibility.

Planning Permission for an Additional Dwelling
The land in front of the house benefits from planning consent for a new detached home of approx. 203 sq m / 2,185 sq ft.

This is a major asset, offering:
Long-term development value
Scope to build a separate residence for family
Investment opportunity
Potential to split or sell the new plot (subject to advice)

Very few village homes provide this level of future upside.


Gardens & Setting
The gardens are generous, mature and beautifully arranged. Behind the house is a private lawn framed by planting, with a large terrace accessed from the kitchen, ideal for entertaining in warmer months.

The setting is peaceful and open, with countryside stretching out behind the neighbouring properties and very little passing traffic.

Agent's Note: The planning permission reference is: 25/02110/FUL. Some information is held within our office, or you can visit the South Cambridgeshire Planning website for further details.
