Set on a generous plot of roughly 0.3 acres in sought-after Great Shelford, this four-bedroom detached house offers spacious family living with excellent scope to modernise and extend. The property sits well back from Cambridge Road behind mature screening, with a gravel driveway providing parking for several cars plus a large single garage. Inside, two reception rooms and a sizeable kitchen/breakfast room open onto a long, private rear garden—ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining.
The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and there are three further good-sized bedrooms alongside a family bathroom. Heating is by mains gas with a boiler system (radiators) and there is mention of underfloor heating; the house has double glazing (install date unknown). The wide plot and the layout present clear potential to reconfigure or enlarge the accommodation subject to planning.
Practical considerations include an EPC rating of D (60) and council tax band F, which reflect running costs to factor in. The house is freehold, built between 1996–2002, and while structurally sound in appearance it will suit a buyer looking to update finishes and modernise services to contemporary standards. Nearby amenities include good local schools, transport links (M11, Shelford station) and easy access to Addenbrooke’s/biomedical campus.
This property will appeal most to families wanting space and a large private garden in a highly regarded village location, and to buyers prepared to invest in cosmetic and system upgrades to unlock stronger long-term value.
