House For Sale £590,000
Shelford Park Avenue is off Station Road, a short walk to the railway station and there is a handy footpath cutting through on to Tunwells Lane making it easy to walk to the High Street and village centre and on to the school. The road is predominantly traditional 1930s semis and carries only traffic visiting Shelford Park Avenue and Poplar Close which makes it an appealing place to live for those who want to be close to the village centre but not on a main road.
The house has been enlarged and improved into a practical, bright and well-laid out home including a generous front-facing open-plan kitchen / dining room and a large sitting room with French doors out to the south-west facing 21m (70ft) rear garden. The first floor has a bay-windowed master bedroom with a full wall of built-in wardrobes, a second bedroom, bathroom and handy extra shower room. The loft has been converted to provide another double bedroom making the house work very well for those with two children as there is no longer a box room.
The front garden has raised beds and a gravel drive for 3 or 4 cars that passes beside the house. The sunny back garden is mainly lawn with fruit trees and a timber sheds.
This is an already generous house but also offers excellent potential to further extend, subject to planning.
The property is available with the benefit of no onward chain.
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 historic 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.
It is 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 village.
