Character cottage with large garden, garage and parking — listed status requires specialist care..
Grade II listed thatched cottage with modern sympathetic extensions
A charming Grade II listed thatched cottage with sympathetic modern extensions, offering flexible three/four-bedroom accommodation in the heart of Great Shelford. The house combines original features — exposed timber beams and a thatched roof — with practical modern additions including a fitted kitchen, utility and two bathrooms. The private rear garden backs directly onto village playing fields, creating a rare, open outlook and a strong family-friendly outdoor aspect.
Practical positives include a large block-paved driveway with space for several cars, a detached garage with mezzanine storage and useful off-street parking. The layout provides multiple reception rooms suitable for home working, family living or reconfiguration to create a fourth bedroom if required. The property is chain free, sold freehold and occupies a central village location close to well-regarded schools and local amenities.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict external and structural alterations and may increase repair costs and consent requirements. The thatched roof and timber-frame construction demand specialist maintenance; some internal finishes are dated and may need updating. Secondary internal glazing is fitted rather than full double glazing, and the timber walls are assumed to have little or no insulation. Council tax is above average for the area.
