This attractive period property occupies a pleasant position on Granta Terrace, in the sought-after village of Great Shelford. Behind its traditional Cambridge brick façade lies a warm and characterful interior which has been carefully maintained and provides approximately 1,125 sq ft of accommodation in total, including the annexe.
The main house retains much of the appeal associated with its Victorian origins, with well-proportioned rooms, timber floors and an abundance of natural light. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and combines period character with comfortable, practical living spaces.
On the ground floor, the sitting room is an inviting reception space, with exposed timber flooring and the staircase rising to the first floor. There is a separate dining room, an attractive room featuring a traditional fireplace with fitted shelving and cabinetry to either side, creating an appealing setting for both everyday dining and entertaining.
To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room extends to approximately 17 ft in length and is fitted with a comprehensive range of painted cabinetry and work surfaces. There is ample space for a breakfast table, while windows and a door towards the rear, provide a pleasant connection with the garden.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, including a well-proportioned principal bedroom with useful fitted storage, together with a second bedroom, with the added benefit of air conditioning. Both rooms are light and neatly presented. The generous family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and separate shower enclosure.
A particular feature of the property is the detached annexe, providing approximately 322 sq ft of additional accommodation. Arranged with its own bedroom, shower room, living/dining room and kitchenette, it offers considerable flexibility. It could be particularly well suited to guests or multigenerational accommodation, a home-working suite or other ancillary uses.
Outside, the house is approached through a small enclosed front garden, while to the rear is a surprisingly long and established garden. Immediately behind the house is a paved terrace providing space for outdoor seating and dining. Beyond the terrace, the garden becomes increasingly leafy and secluded, with mature trees and shrubs creating an attractive green backdrop. A garden shed provides useful storage.
Great Shelford is a well-regarded village just south of Cambridge, offering an excellent range of local amenities including shops, bakery, butcher, delicatessen, pharmacy, Post Office, library, restaurants and traditional pubs. There is also a sought after primary school, health centre, dentist and a range of sporting and recreational facilities.
The property is particularly well placed for access to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and Cambridge South Station, with services to London Kings Cross and Liverpool Street. Addenbrooke's Hospital is less than 2 miles from the property, Cambridge city centre about 3 miles away and Waitrose a convenient 15 minute walk. The area offers easy access to the M11, local bus services and many cycle routes.
