Garden Fields, Little Shelford

A well-proportioned semi-detached house offering over 1,200 sq ft of accommodation, set in a quiet, private no-through road, with a wide frontage and a notably generous south-east facing rear garden. The house has been extended to the ground floor, creating a balanced layout while still offering scope for further improvement over time. It also benefits from an efficient C-rated EPC, which compares favourably for a property of this type and age, and is offered with no upward chain.

The ground floor is arranged around a central hall, with a large, dual aspect sitting room that extends front to back and benefits from good natural light and sufficient space for flexible furniture arrangements. To the front, the dining room connects directly with the kitchen, forming a practical day-to-day living space with views over the garden. The kitchen itself is functional and well laid out, with an adjoining utility area and ground floor w.c. The overall flow works well, though there is potential to further extend or improve, subject to requirements.

Upstairs are four bedrooms arranged off a central landing. The main bedroom includes an en suite, while the remaining rooms are served by a family bathroom. The proportions are generous, with the larger rooms offering comfortable doubles and the fourth bedroom suited to a child’s room or study.

The rear garden is a key feature, extending a good distance behind the house and enjoying a south-easterly aspect, to enjoy the best of the sunshine. It provides a safe, enclosed space well suited to families, with scope for both entertaining and play. To the front, the property provides off-street parking on a gravelled driveway.

The setting is quiet and safe, with little passing traffic and likely to appeal to buyers seeking a spacious family house within reach of Cambridge. Day-to-day amenities and schooling are accessible locally, with broader connections available nearby.

Little Shelford is one of the most highly sought-after south Cambridge villages and stands about 2 miles / 3.5 km south of the City boundary. The majority of the village is within a Conservation Area which has protected its charm and ensured it has not been swallowed up by major development over the years.

The property sits within comfortable walking distance of the centre of the village, where residents have access to a number of well-used local amenities including a modern village hall, a large recreation ground with a new sports pavilion, a charming phone box library, the Side Quest public house and a Chinese takeaway / fish and chip shop. The village primary school is just across the border into Great Shelford. There are excellent further facilities in that larger village including a butcher, a chemist, two supermarkets, hairdressers, cafes and take away restaurants, GP surgery and dentist. The River Cam and surrounding countryside are also nearby, providing attractive walking routes and green spaces that contribute to the village’s character.

For the commuter there are good cycle routes into the City and to Addenbrookes Hospital and the Biomedical Campus. The M11 junction is about 2.5 miles / 4 km away and the Great Shelford mainline station provides service to into Cambridge and to London Liverpool station.
