A rare opportunity to acquire this substantial family residence, beautifully presented throughout, set within a generous, mature plot of 0.35 acres with exclusive use of the residents six acre lake and the woodland.

The property makes up an exclusive scheme of just three properties, constructed in the late 1990s and set within a most idyllic setting positioned round around a large six acre lake and woodland.

Upstairs, off the galleried split level landing are five good sized bedrooms, two of which have en suite bathrooms and a family bathroom with both a tiled shower cubicle and a roll-top claw foot bath.

Outside, the property is approached via a video entry system through double gates and a shared gravelled driveway leading to the property which has both a gravel drive and a block paved area providing ample parking for several vehicles and leading to the double garage with two up and over doors, power and light connected and a small neat lawned front garden. Gated access leads to the side and rear gardens which are predominately laid to lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders and beds, a selection of mature trees and hedging, vegetable and herb garden, a generous paved patio and gated access to the adjoining woodland. The front of the property has wonderful far-reaching views over the lake making this the most idyllic of settings yet so conveniently placed for Cambridge and Royston with both Shepreth railway station and Foxton railway station just a fifteen minute walk away.

Location

Shepreth is one of South Cambridgeshire's most picturesque spots surrounded by undulating countryside, tucked away just off the A10 and comparatively unspoilt in recent years by any major development schemes. Cambridge is 8 miles and Royston is about 5 miles distant and there is a bus service that runs to both from the village. The mainline train station offers fast access to Cambridge and London King's Cross. The completion of the Cambridge South Station in 2026, will mean that Addenbrooke's and The Biomedical Campus will be reached in approximately 10/15 minutes. The M11 is also just a short drive away. Educational facilities are available at nearby Barrington and Melbourn. Shepreth Wildlife Park is a great attraction for families and there are also three public houses within a 15 minute walk of the property; The Green Man at Frog End, The Plough on the High Street and The Royal Oak in Barrington as well as Hot Numbers roastery in the village. There are a number of walks from your doorstep including a lovely walk across fields to the picturesque village of Barrington.
