House For Sale £700,000
The property, which is in a good state of decoration, is set in a quiet cul-de-sac, within cycling distance of Addenbrooke's and the city centre, and is close to the Park and Ride, but at the same time there are fields to the rear of Red Hill Close, which can be accessed from the back gate.
Approached over a hard landscaped front garden, which provides parking, there is a large undercover area to the side of the house providing storage. The entrance hall is particularly welcoming and spacious and there is a modern cloakroom off and a built-in cupboard under the staircase. The ground floor is predominantly open plan; there is a large living room with a sitting area set around the fireplace to the front, and a dining area adjacent to glazed doors to the rear.
The second reception area is a lovely vaulted room off the kitchen providing a snug / garden room and again this has patio doors out to the garden.
The kitchen is beautifully fitted with ample cabinets set above and below the working surfaces, and there is a built-in double oven, hob with an extractor over and space for a fridge freezer. At the far end the cabinets continue into the snug / garden room where there is an integrated dishwasher, washing machine and drier.
On the ground floor there is also a room with a vaulted ceiling and en-suite facilities. This room is currently being used as a gym, but it would equally make a good kids sitting room, play room or it could provide a very nice bedroom for anyone with mobility issues.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms accessed over a split staircase. On the original side of the house there are three generous double bedrooms, a bathroom fitted with a bath, shower enclosure, w.c and a hand-basin and a second shower room fitted with a large shower enclosure, w.c and a hand-basin. The first floor extension provides a further double size bedroom and a generous single with a loft ladder leading up to a useful, fully plastered attic space with a roof light.
Outside the rear garden is fully enclosed and is laid to lawn with a large patio adjacent to the house. There is a gate which gives access out to the rear and a brick-built store adjoining the extension.
Parking is provided for several vehicles, whist the undercover area to the side provides sheltered parking.
The property benefits from fast and reliable Wifi and underfloor heating to some parts of the downstairs.
The full size and versatility is best explored via our video tour or by booking a viewing.
Great Shelford is one of the most sought-after villages south of the city thanks to its easy access to town and Addenbrooke's by road, regular buses, car-free purpose-built cycleways and train from its mainline railway station that also goes direct to London Liverpool Street. The village is also well located to access the M11 for London Stansted, A14 North and East and the A11.
The property itself is equidistant to the village centres of both Great Shelford and Trumpington with Addenbrooke's a short cycle or walk away and the city centre again within a short cycle or an enthusiastic walk away.
Great Shelford's village centre has an excellent range of amenities including two small supermarkets, a convenience store, a deli, hairdressers, doctors, dentist, dispensing chemist, two pubs, restaurants and more. The primary school is very well regarded and there are various community facilities and social clubs. The large recreation ground has a new pavilion, tennis club and sports pitches and annually hosts the excellent Shelford Feast Festival.
Trumpington is a thriving, fast growing part of the city that still manages to retain its village identity and sense of community. There are various restaurants, pubs, shops, a post office, barber, gp surgery, pharmacy, library and community centre. There is also a major Waitrose supermarket and a Sainsbury's local. Three primary schools can be found here and also a brand new state-of-the-art secondary school built in 2016 with excellent sporting facilities. Many of the city's finest private schools are also within easy cycling distance.
Trumpington Meadows nature reserve links Trumpington through to Byron's Pool and Grantchester and there is a second country park between Trumpington and the Addenbrooke's campus. Various bridleways and footpaths lead immediately out into the countryside towards Harston, Haslingfield, Barton and Grantchester.
The area provides a great community for those looking for a balance of convenience and traditional village feel and offers the real possibility of living day-to-day without the need to regularly drive out of the area.
