An attractively presented five-bedroom detached cottage occupying a generous plot in sought-after Little Shelford. The house combines period charm — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and thatched roof — with flexible modern living including a large living room, conservatory and a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite. Its position backing onto protected paddocks gives uninterrupted rural views towards the parish church while remaining within a short walk of local schools and Great Shelford facilities.
The unlisted status has allowed practical updates and sensible alterations over time; the thatch was overhauled and re-ridged in 2014, and the interior has been carefully maintained with gas central heating and contemporary bathrooms. The layout, served by multiple staircases, creates a self-contained main bedroom suite plus additional bedroom/study options, making the house well suited to multigenerational families or those wanting flexible home and work space.
Outside offers a detached garage, parking for two cars, two lawned gardens and a private terrace, plus a newly laid terrace and a secluded spot between the utility and conservatory. Commuting is straightforward with good cycle routes to Cambridge, nearby Great Shelford station and easy access to the M11.
Buyers should note the property’s EPC rating of E (50) and council tax band G; while the house has been updated, the energy rating indicates opportunity for further insulation and efficiency improvements. The driveway is shared with neighbours and the rural location gives average mobile reception despite fast broadband availability.
