House For Sale £1,750,000
A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning detached family residence set within a large, mature plot tucked away within this highly sought-after and exclusive cul-de-sac located centrally within the village.
The property occupies a wonderful position tucked away within this tranquil cul-de-sac, located in one of Great Shelford's most prestigious and sought-after addresses at the heart of the village. The house is nestled within mature gardens and grounds extending to approximately 1/4 of an acre and overlooking woodland to the rear. The current owner has transformed the property with a programme of expansion and refurbishment, resulting in bright, spacious and extremely well planned accommodation, all beautifully presented throughout. The property has been thoughtfully redesigned and enlarged with a great focus on natural light and with the reception rooms and the large kitchen /breakfast room all overlooking the wonderful gardens and grounds to the rear. A series of bifold doors across the rear elevation of the property integrates it with the garden beyond and the sunny sandstone terrace becomes an extension of the home, particularly in the summer months.
In detail, the accommodation comprises a large glazed, full height reception hall extension with bespoke staircase rising to the first floor accommodation, limed oak herringbone flooring, two fitted storage cupboards and a cloakroom WC just off. There are two reception rooms (again with herringbone limed oak flooring and bifold doors to the garden), including a sitting room with a recessed Stovex woodburning stove with granite hearth. The kitchen / breakfast room, a generously proportioned room and very much the heart of this beautiful home, again enjoys lovely views over the garden with bifold doors and is fitted with attractive, contemporary cabinetry and ample granite work surfaces with inset, one and a half sink unit with mixer tap, splashback plus drainer, deep pan drawers and larder cupboards. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, double oven and extractor, plus space for a dishwasher, an American style fridge freezer and of course ample space for a large dining table. From the kitchen, there is a door to the covered storage area with access to the driveway at the front and bifold doors providing access to the garden and incorporates a utility area with plumbing and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and auxiliary fridge freezer plus excellent bike or hobby storage, or indeed a workshop if so required.
Upstairs off the galleried landing, which overlooks the front garden, are five bedrooms, four doubles, which all overlook the rear garden plus the fifth bedroom currently utilised as a busy office and a four- piece luxury bathroom. The master suite boasts a large bedroom area with a generous walk-in closet and a bathroom with both a bath and shower.
Outside, the property is set back from the road behind an expansive, lawned garden peppered with wild flowers and raised planters with a paved pathway to the entrance portico and a generous driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles. Gated access leads to the handy covered side storage on one side of the property whilst on the other, there is side access directly to the rear garden. The rear garden enjoys a sunny southerly aspect and is predominantly laid to shaped and manicured lawns with well stocked flower and shrub borders and beds complemented by a generous Indian sandstone terrace ideal for alfresco dining and summer evening entertaining. There is a wood store, two contemporary timber garden sheds, a compost area, and a wide and varied selection of maturing trees, all backing onto a pretty wooded area to the rear.
