An Impressive Grade II Listed Farmhouse with great potential, set on a plot of around an acre, this detached farmhouse, along with a range of outbuildings and a substantial timber-framed barn, offers an exciting renovation opportunity.
Believed to date back to the 15th century, this characterful home features later additions and requires complete refurbishment. The property offers excellent potential for development, including converting the loft space and transforming the substantial barn, subject to the necessary consents.
The main house measures approximately 3818 sq ft / 355 sqm (including the loft rooms), providing spacious and versatile living accommodation. With five bedrooms and scope to create additional rooms on the second floor, the possibilities are extensive.
The barn, also Grade II listed, measures around 2297 sq ft. This traditional timber-framed structure presents a rare opportunity for conversion into additional accommodation or a separate dwelling, subject to the relevant permissions.
Additional features include a double garage, a large parking area, and several original outbuildings and stores. The gardens, mainly laid to lawn, are enclosed by mature trees, hedgerows, and fencing, with a vegetable garden and fruit cage at the far end.
The leylandii to the southern border could be cut back to allow additional light into this part of the garden.
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 new sports pavilion, a charming phone box library, the Side Quest public house and a Chinese takeaway / fish and chip shop.
The OFSTED 'Good' village primary school is just across the border into Great Shelford. There are excellent further facilities in that larger village including a butcher, a chemist, two supermarkets, hairdressers, cafes and take away restaurants, GP surgery and dentist.
