Shelford Road, Cambridge

An attractive and characterful three-bedroom detached home offering well-proportioned accommodation, a generous rear garden and a separate garage, all within a convenient Cambridge location.

The property provides a practical layout arranged over two floors and offers an excellent opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise the house to suit their own style.

The ground floor is centred around a welcoming entrance hall, with the principal reception rooms positioned to the front and rear. The living room is a bright and comfortable space, enhanced by an attractive bay window which brings in plenty of natural light and adds to the character of the room.

To the rear, the dining room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden, with bi- fold doors opening directly onto the terrace. This creates a lovely connection between the house and outside space and makes the room particularly well suited to everyday dining and entertaining.

The kitchen is a generous and practical space with a good range of fitted timber-fronted cabinetry, ample work surfaces, integrated cooking appliances and space for further appliances.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and benefits from an attractive bay window, while the second bedroom is also a good-sized double. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite including a bath with shower above, wash basin and WC.

Outside, the property is set back behind an established front garden, with mature shrubs and trees providing greenery and a degree of screening from the road. To the rear is a long and mature garden with lawn, established planting and a paved terrace immediately adjoining the house, providing an appealing space for outdoor entertainment.

A driveway leads to a separate garage provides useful parking, storage or workshop space.

Trumpington is a thriving, fast-growing part of Cambridge that still retains a strong village identity and sense of community. It is exceptionally well placed for Addenbrooke’s Hospital, the Biomedical Campus, the M11 and the city centre, with excellent links by car, bus, guided busway, purpose-built cycle routes and on foot.

Cambridge South station, which opened in June 2026 beside the Biomedical Campus, is within close proximity and provides direct rail connections to London in just under an hour, as well as service to Stansted and Gatwick airports, materially improving the area's wider connectivity. Cambridge mainline station also remains readily accessible via the guided busway cycle route, avoiding city traffic. The property is around a 15-minute walk from Trumpington Park & Ride.

Local amenities include restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, GP surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre, together with a Waitrose supermarket and a Sainsbury’s Local.

Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve links the village to Byron’s Pool and Grantchester, with further country parkland between Trumpington and Addenbrooke’s. Numerous footpaths and bridleways lead out towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.
