4 bedroom detached house for sale

An exceptional, four-bedroom detached, period property with scope for further improvements, set in gardens approaching three-quarters of an acre.

Cambridge City Centre 4.5 miles, Mainline Railway Station (Liverpool Street and King's Cross) 4 miles, Addenbrooke's Hospital 3 miles, M11 (Junction 11) 2.5 miles, Great Shelford Railway Station (Liverpool Street line) 0.5 of a mile, Stansted Airport 24 miles, (distances are approximate).

26 Granhams Road is an exceptional four-bedroom detached property, originally dating from the 17th century with a wealth of period charm and features, including exposed beams and a magnificent working inglenook fireplace. The current owners carried out a sensitive and well-considered extension around 15 years ago to create a welcoming entrance hallway and stunning open-plan, light and airy kitchen and dining area, beautifully finished with bi-folding doors opening to a stone-paved terrace, seamlessly connecting the interior with the garden.

The property, although dating from the 17th century, is not Grade II listed and provides significantly greater flexibility for future modifications, presenting a rare opportunity to further modernise or extend the existing building. Additionally, the current owners have commissioned architectural plans to extend, clearly demonstrating the property’s substantial potential (plans available upon request).

Located on the outskirts of the highly desirable village of Great Shelford, the property benefits from excellent local amenities including a butcher, convenience store, deli, restaurants, and three public houses. The village also offers a park, recreation ground, and a range of clubs and events for all ages.

Families are well served by a local primary school and secondary schooling at Sawston Village College, with a number of prestigious independent schools in nearby Cambridge, including The Perse, St Faith’s, The Leys, and Hills Road Sixth Form College.

For commuters, Great Shelford station is just 0.5 of a mile away, direct services to Cambridge and London Liverpool Street. Additional services to King’s Cross and Liverpool Street are available from Cambridge Mainline Railway Station in about 52 and 67 minutes respectively and the new Cambridge South Station, within easy walking distance, is due to be open for public use in early 2026 and will provide a service to Kings Cross.
