Full Description: 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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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.
