Description
Ivy House is a fine substantial timber house in the popular and conveniently located village of Little Shelford close to the city of Cambridge.
The original property is believed to have dated back the early 18th century with later 19th and early 21st century additions. The property is of timber framed and clunch construction, rendered with pitched pan tiled and clay tiled roofs. The prior owner to the current sellers are believed to have undergone a full sympathetic restoration which has been enhanced by the current owners. The house retains some stunning original features such as timber and brick flooring, attractive fireplaces and wall panelling.
The property is entered through a panelled front door with stain glass windows into a wide and deep hallway with stripped wooden floors. To the right is a cosy dining room, traditionally painted with an attractive fireplace and bay window. Opposite is a good size sitting room with a bay to mirror the dining room with a working fireplace and orangery. This was a wonderful addition to the house by the previous owner which offers year round use with underfloor heating and exceptional views over the grounds.
Beyond, the hall moves past a pretty drawing room which has working fireplace and views over the garden from floor to ceiling french doors.
At the rear of the house to the right is a wonderful kitchen breakfast room with modern shaker units, and white composite stone surfaces, a traditional four oven Aga and built in appliances. This room, with an abundance of exposed beams flows through to a sitting area with a breakfast room beyond.
Upstairs off the kitchen is a bedroom which is currently fitted as a study.
Up the main staircase there are three bedrooms and a dressing room with an en suite shower room which could be reconfigured as five bedrooms if required. There is a further large family bathroom with a free standing bath and separate shower.
Outside there is a large studio annex used as a home office with a shower room and separate toilet. A timber frame garage with two double doors completes the accommodation.
The property is approached via a sweeping resin and stone driveway leading to car parking to the front of the property and further car parking to the rear. There is a detached double garage and adjacent detached studio currently used as home office. The gardens surround the property to all sides and screened from the road by mature trees, hedging and attractive modern fencing to enable the house to enjoy maximum privacy and seclusion. The neatly trimmed formal lawn is flanked by shaped flowerbeds and borders thickly planted with well-established bushes and shrubs and there are several specimen mature trees. There is a large paved terrace immediately to the rear of the property, water feature/pond, ornamental gardens including box hedging, and enjoying a southerly aspect.
The grounds in all extend to about 1.51 acres.
