Description

A substantial period house set within beautiful, secluded gardens of approximately 1 acre, close to the centre of this highly regarded south Cambridgeshire village.

Cambridge City Centre 4 miles, M11 (Junction 11) 3 miles, Mainline Railway Station (Liverpool Street line) 500 yards, Stansted Airport 27 miles, London 50 miles (distances are approximate).

Browning House is situated at the end of a long, cherry tree-lined driveway in a wonderful private position.
Three, steeply pitched gables give a striking appearance to this magnificent period house, which is believed to originally date from the late 16th/early 17th centuries. Constructed with rough cast rendered elevations under tiled roofs, the property has been subject to a carefully considered programme of alterations and extensions over the years and the resulting accommodation is both substantial and immaculately presented. Particular care has been taken to retain the considerable charm and character of the house with the preservation of many of its attractive period features.

The versatile layout of the accommodation is particularly appealing for multi-generational living, with the main house featuring a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room, ideal for a dependent relative, with an additional detached, one bedroom cottage.

Great Shelford is one of the most popular of the necklace villages around Cambridge, benefiting from a good range of local facilities including a variety of shops, primary school library, church, health centre and a recreation ground. It is also conveniently placed for commuters by road or rail with the M11 (junction 11) 3 miles away and a mainline railway station in the village itself with services to London Liverpool Street in about 81 minutes. Stansted Airport is also readily accessible via the M11.

Nearby, Cambridge is a highly acclaimed University city and is also recognised as the centre of the ‘high tech’ and ‘bio tech’ industries with the University Research and Development Laboratories, the internationally renowned Cambridge Science |park and Addenbrooke’s Hospital/Biomedical Campus. The city provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes, extensive shopping facilities and an excellent choice of private schools on the south and west sides of the city including the Perse (pre-school, prep & upper), the Stephen Perse foundation schools, The Leys, St Mary’s, St John’s & King’s College prep Schools and a primary school in Great Shelford
