About
Set in a plot of approximately 0.20 acres and backing directly onto open fields, this extended four-bedroom home offers a level of space and flexibility that will appeal to buyers seeking a well balanced home.
The house has been arranged to provide multiple living areas, with scope on the ground floor to incorporate the study, bedroom and en-suite to provide a self-contained annexe, making it particularly well suited to multi-generational living or those requiring independent workspace.
The property is offered with no upward chain and has scope for further development. The ground floor is notably generous, with a series of interconnected yet distinct living spaces.
A front-facing sitting room provides a cozy, more traditional reception area, whilst to the rear, a larger family room opens out towards the garden, with bi-fold doors taking advantage of the open outlook beyond, and there is a woodburner for the colder months.
The kitchen sits centrally within the plan, linking through to a separate dining area, creating a practical arrangement for everyday use without relying on fully open-plan living.
A utility room and cloakroom, support the overall functionality of the house.
A key aspect of the layout is the potential to provide a self-contained annexe by combining the study and en-suite bedroom.
This would be ideal for those with mobility issues or could offer genuine independence for extended family, guests, or potentially as a dedicated work area, without compromising the main house.
Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom is well-proportioned, with an en-suite shower room.
The second is again a good double room, with French doors overlooking the garden and fields beyond, and the third bedroom is a generous single or a small double, with a built in wardrobe.
A family bathroom fitted with a bath, separate shower enclosure, w.c., and hand basin completes the accommodation. Outside, the plot is a defining feature.
The rear garden extends out towards open fields, creating a sense of space and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find.
The size allows for a range of uses, from relaxation, entertaining or for children to play. To the front, there is ample parking to support a household of this scale.
The combination of plot size, adaptable accommodation and open rear aspect positions this as a practical long-term home with scope to evolve alongside changing needs.
Little Shelford is one of the most highly sought-after south Cambridge villages and stands about 2 miles / 3.5 km south of the City boundary.
The majority of the village is within a Conservation Area which has protected its charm and ensured it has not been swallowed up by major development over the years.
The property sits within comfortable walking distance of the centre of the village, where residents have access to a number of well-used local amenities including a modern village hall, a large recreation ground with a new sports pavilion, a charming phone box library, the Side Quest public house and a Chinese takeaway / fish and chip shop.
The village primary school is just across the border into Great Shelford.
There are excellent further facilities in that larger village including a butcher, a chemist, two supermarkets, hairdressers, cafes and take away restaurants, GP surgery and dentist.
The River Cam and surrounding countryside are also nearby, providing attractive walking routes and green spaces that contribute to the village’s character.
For the commuter there are good cycle routes into the City and to Addenbrookes Hospital and the Biomedical Campus.
The M11 junction is about 2.5 miles / 4 km away and the Great Shelford mainline station provides service to into Cambridge and to London Liverpool station.
