Buristead Road, Great Shelford

An extensively improved and thoughtfully extended four-bedroom family home offering approximately 134 sq. metres (1,442.1 sq. feet) of well-balanced accommodation, complemented by two generous insulated outbuildings, a south-east facing garden and off road parking. The property has been updated with attention to detail and now provides flexible, high-quality living space suited to modern day living.

The ground floor is particularly impressive in both layout and finish. A cosy sitting room to the front of the building provides a comfortable reception space, while the kitchen/dining room has been redesigned to create a more sociable and contemporary heart of the house. Shaker-style cabinetry, is set above and below beautiful worktops and rooflights and bi-fold doors opening to the terrace combine to bring in natural light and create a strong connection to the garden. The ground floor has also been thoughtfully designed with bi-fold doors between the sitting room and dining area opening to provide an impressive combined space, ideal for family gatherings or parties. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with a utility area off the kitchen, a cloakroom, ample built-in storage, and a generous porch to the front of the building providing useful space for coats and shoes.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, allowing for excellent separation between living and bedroom space. The principal bedroom occupies the top floor and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, creating a notably private retreat away from the main family accommodation. Three further bedrooms and a family bathroom are positioned on the first floor.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a south-easterly orientation, enjoying a sunny aspect through the morning and afternoon. The space has been designed for ease of maintenance, with defined seating areas and attractive planting creating a private space, ideal for entertaining or relaxation.

Of particular note are the insulated outbuildings, currently arranged as a studio, gym and workshop. These spaces substantially enhance the overall flexibility of the property and are likely to appeal to buyers working from home, those with creative or fitness interests, or anyone requiring separate ancillary space away from the main house.

Homes offering this level of finish, adaptable accommodation, and genuinely useful additional buildings remain relatively uncommon.

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, car-free purpose-built cycleways and train from its mainline railway station that also goes direct to London Liverpool Street.

The historic village centre has excellent day-to-day facilities 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.

It is a great community for those looking for a balance of convenience and a traditional village feel and offers the real possibility of living day-to-day without the need to regularly drive out of the village.
