London Road, Stapleford

A substantial four-bedroom home of around 1,500 sq ft (140 sqm), combining generous proportions with a beautifully finished interior, set in a particularly convenient location within walking distance of Gt. Shelford railway station. The house has been extended to create a versatile ground floor, while the first floor provides four good bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property also benefits from an efficient C-rated EPC, a south facing rear garden, and off road parking.

High quality finishes are found throughout with beautiful engineered oak flooring in the dining room, garden room and utility. Bespoke fitted wooden shutters offer privacy and flexible light control for all four bedrooms, as well as forming an attractive feature of the bay window in the sitting room. The welcoming porch offers valuable hanging space and storage, complemented by a generous understairs cupboard. Extensive bespoke German Ballerina Küchen cabinetry in both the dining room and the garden room provides sleek and practical storage.

The ground floor has an excellent sense of flow. A broad sitting room extends to over 21ft (6.4m) and provides plenty of living space with a bay window to the front and double doors opening to the garden room at the rear. The room is flooded with natural light, and a fireplace inset with a log burner adds a lovely focal point for the colder months. Adjacent to this is a well-equipped kitchen with extensive fitted cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, and a good amount of preparation and storage space. This opens through to the dining area, giving both spaces a degree of separation without feeling disconnected. Bi-fold doors connect the dining area to the south facing terrace. The garden room adds further flexibility and offers direct access via a second set of bi-fold doors to the garden, while the utility room provides space for appliances and more storage. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is an excellent size, with a broad bay window bringing in plenty of natural light, and there is a modern en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a single room, allowing the house to accommodate children, guests, and home working without compromise. The family bathroom is generously sized and fitted with a bath with a shower over, a w.c., and a hand basin.

Outside, the frontage is largely gravelled to provide useful off-road parking for three cars, plus a secure Brighton bike store with capacity for four bicycles. The rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect and has been laid to lawn with substantial paved areas ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining. A substantial shed with power and light provides storage, whilst trees beyond the boundary add a lovely green backdrop and give the garden a greater sense of privacy.

Owners perspective. “ For us, following the renovations we completed, the strongest part of the house is the light-filled family dining room, with its bi-fold doors opening straight onto the south-facing patio and garden. The adjoining kitchen gives us the best of both worlds: being both connected yet separate, perfect for daily life as well as when entertaining friends.”

Stapleford is a thriving village about 2 miles south of the city and is especially desirable to those looking for easy access into Cambridge from a traditional and attractive village.

Further facilities, including a GP surgery and a dentist can be found in neighbouring Great Shelford. The Gog Magog Hills, trust land and Wandlebury Country Park are at the northern edge of the village.

For the commuter, there is easy access to the DNA cycleway, which in turn gives access to Addenbrooke's and Papworth Hospitals, Cambridge Biomedical Campus and the new Cambridge South railway station, plus the city beyond. Great Shelford railway station is close by and offers services to Cambridge and London Liverpool Street.
