Davey Crescent, Great Shelford

An established and thoughtfully extended three-bedroom semi-detached home, occupying a quiet position on a no-through road in one of Great Shelford’s most established residential settings. Offering just under 1,000 sq ft of accommodation alongside a notably generous rear garden, the house is likely to appeal to buyers seeking practical family space within walking distance of the village centre, mainline station and key Cambridge destinations.

The accommodation has evolved to suit modern living and offers a layout with a good degree of flexibility. The entrance hall creates a welcoming first impression and leads to two separate reception spaces, allowing scope for family life, home working or play space depending on requirements. The sitting room enjoys a feature fireplace and connects through folding doors to the kitchen/dining room, creating the option of either distinct spaces or a more open arrangement when entertaining or spending time together.

To the rear, the kitchen/dining room forms a natural focal point of the house, with bespoke solid wood cabinetry, a central island and generous dining space. Large glazed doors and windows overlook the garden and bring in good levels of natural light. A separate utility room provides useful ancillary space for laundry and household storage, helping keep day-to-day living organised.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal and second bedrooms are both comfortable doubles with pleasant rear-facing outlooks over the garden, while the third bedroom demonstrates the flexibility increasingly sought by buyers, with space for a study area and practical built-in raised sleeping arrangement. The loft is boarded and includes a Velux window, providing useful additional storage.

Outside, the rear garden is a particular feature and extends to approximately 80ft in length. Mature planting, established trees and stocked borders create a sense of privacy and enclosure, while a generous paved terrace provides space for outdoor dining and seating. The garden offers enough lawn for children to play without feeling over-designed and includes a timber shed for practical storage. To the front, the garden has been arranged with ease of maintenance in mind, with gated side access leading through to the rear.

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 an excellent range of amenities 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 traditional village feel and offers the real possibility of living day-to-day without the need to regularly drive out of the village.
