5 Bed Detached House To Rent

This is a particularly special property, recently refurbished to a very high standard and enjoying a central position within Little Shelford. At the front, the property is set back from the road and has plenty of space to park multiple cars and the rear garden is generous and backed by woodland.

The main space on the ground floor is a open plan kitchen / diner, glass doors span almost the whole back wall giving uninterrupted views of the garden and there is a wood burner at one end. The kitchen is modern with shaker-style units, marble worktops and a large central island. All appliances are integrated and provided, off from the kitchen is a utility room housing the washing machine and tumble dryer.

A cosy living room, with a wood-burner and parquet flooring, is in the middle of the house and can be accessed from the hallway and via the kitchen / diner. In addition to this room there are two further reception rooms; another generous room overlooking the front garden and a small study room with opening on to the garden.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor accessed via the main staircase. The master suite is superb; it has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the rear garden, a separate dressing room and ensuite shower room. The other bedrooms are all doubles and a large wardrobe will remain in one. Also on the first floor is a family bathroom with separate shower, bath, WC and basin.

Accessed via a separate staircase, next to the study, is a fifth double room. This is separate to the other bedrooms and has its own ensuite shower room with WC and basin.

The rear garden is lovely, landscaped with carefully planted borders around the edges and a large lawn in the middle. There is a patio area spanning the whole width of the house, a garden shed with garden equipment provided and a wooden climbing frame.

Available to a professional household now. Pets considered by negotiation. Video tour available.

Little Shelford is one of the most highly sought-after south Cambridge villages and stands about 2 miles / 3.5 km south of the City boundary. The majority of the village is within a Conservation Area which has protected its charm and ensured it has not been swallowed up by major development over the years.

It is a thriving community with a modern village hall, a large recreation ground with a brand new sports pavilion, a charming phone box library, The Navigator pub and Thai restaurant and a Chinese takeaway / fish and chip shop. The OFSTED 'Good' village primary school is just across the border into Great Shelford and there are excellent further facilities in that larger village including a post office, a butcher, a chemist, two supermarkets, hairdressers, GP surgery and dentist.

For the commuter there are good cycle routes into the City and to Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Biomedical Campus, Junction 11 of the M11 is about 2.5 miles / 4 km away and Great Shelford mainline station (Cambridge and London Liverpool Street) is about a mile away. There is a park & ride bus from Trumpington into Cambridge and the Guided Bus to Cambridge station.
