Since purchasing the property in 2007, the current owners have carried out a programme of extension and refurbishment to create a lovely family home with well-laid out accommodation. The property, however, still offers the opportunity for further development to make the most of its quite outstanding plot and location. It is wonderfully light throughout with many of the rooms boasting lovely views down the garden.

On the ground floor are two versatile reception rooms, one with doors opening onto the patio and one with a fireplace, a study, large utility with space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, a cloakroom and a very pleasant kitchen/breakfast/dining room with a good range of units and a further set of doors to the garden.

The three double bedrooms on the first floor all have fitted wardrobes and are served by a large family bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The house sits centrally in its magnificent, established grounds offering excellent levels of tranquility and seclusion – outside space that is rarely found and has to be seen to be fully appreciated. There are some impressive, mature trees and shrubs dotted amongst the mainly lawned garden along with a patio across the back of the house, ideal for al-fresco dining etc. The property also comes with a number of useful garden sheds/stores including a traditional timber potting shed. To the front of the house is a circular driveway, again edged with established planting, providing parking for at least 5 cars.

Surrey Cottage occupies an impressive and unrivalled plot on this private, residential no-through road which is broadly recognised as one of the best addresses in Great Shelford within walking distance of many of the varied amenities this popular village has to offer. These amenities include doctors’ and dentist’s surgeries, a primary school, chemist, several convenience stores, a butchers’ and bakers, public houses, a delicatessen, café, library and post office. In addition, there is a garden centre and Waitrose supermarket just a few minutes away. For the commuter there is excellent access to a railway station (to London’s Liverpool Street) along with cycle routes into the city and very good road access to major networks. Addenbrooke’s Hospital is close by which will soon be the site for the new Cambridge South railway station (into London’s Kings Cross). Great Shelford is in the catchment area for Sawston Village College along with a wide range of private schools in Cambridge itself.
