The kitchen also benefits from under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel sink with drainer and excellent storage throughout.

To the rear of the property is a spacious sitting room enjoying pleasant views over the garden and providing an excellent space for both relaxing and entertaining. Double doors open into a bright conservatory which serves as an additional reception or dining area, flooded with natural light through its glazed surround and offering direct access onto the rear garden.

On the first floor, the landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefitting from large windows and pleasant outlooks. The principal bedroom provides excellent built-in storage space, while the second bedroom offers flexibility for use as a guest room, nursery or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern three-piece suite comprising bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, established planting and fenced boundaries providing a good degree of privacy. The garden offers an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

One allocated parking space is situated adjacent to the house, with marked visitor parking and additional street parking also available nearby.

Great Shelford itself offers excellent day-to-day amenities, including two supermarkets, a deli, cafés, pubs and restaurants, as well as a doctors’ surgery, dentist and pharmacy. The village has a strong sense of community, with clubs, societies and the much-loved annual Shelford Feast held on the large recreation ground, which also includes sports pitches, tennis courts and a modern pavilion.

The property is within easy walking distance of Shelford railway station, providing fast links to Cambridge (approximately four minutes), Cambridge South (for Addenbrookes / Biomedical Campus) and direct services to London Liverpool Street and King’s Cross, making it ideal for commuters, academics and professionals alike.

For those working in science, research or healthcare, the location is particularly strong. The DNA cycleway, accessed close to the development, provides a traffic-free route directly to Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, as well as onward connections into the city via the guided busway. Granta Park, Babraham Research Campus and Cambridge’s expanding tech and life-sciences hubs are all easily accessible by bike, bus or car.

Surrounded by countryside, riverside walks and village footpaths, the area lends itself to a greener, more balanced lifestyle, whether that means walking to the station, cycling to work, or enjoying easy access to nature alongside Cambridge’s universities, colleges and cultural life.
