Property description

High Green is at the very heart of historic Great Shelford and home to some of its most impressive period houses, as well as the village Post Office. Spanyards is situated at the end of a secluded private lane, off High Green, that serves just five houses, meaning it enjoys the convenience of this central position, whilst being tucked away from the road.



The cottage is believed to date back to the 17th Century and retains a wealth of period features throughout. The property has been in the same family for over 25 years and has been lovingly cared for, including having the whole roof re-thatched around 6 years ago. Until recently the accommodation was used as two homes to suit the family's requirements and therefore there are two kitchens and bathrooms on the ground floor of the property. There is also a bay fronted sitting room, spacious dining room with exposed beams to the ceiling, reception hall and a utility room. The first floor accommodation is served by two staircases. The main staircase leads to the split landing, serving three double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and leads to a spacious dressing room. The dressing room could be used as a fourth bedroom and has use of the second staircase.



Outside the property is nestled within established gardens and grounds of over a third of an acre, which are laid mainly to lawn with well stocked beds and mature trees. There is a paved terrace, a brick and flint outside toilet, garden store and a garden studio. The studio would lend itself to a number of uses and is accessed via timber French doors. There is light, power and water connected and a wood burning stove. The large gravelled driveway provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leads to the single garage.



Thatched houses of such charm, space and seclusion are rare, and the garden studio lends this fine family home an even more unique appeal.

Historically a planning application was approved for a single storey extension to the property, which has since expired. Plans are available on request.
