Rectory Farm Barns, Great Shelford
Cambridgeshire

This exclusive development, located in the heart of Great Shelford, comprises 4 beautiful stone and timber barns converted from the original farm buildings of Rectory Farm.

Situated close to the River Cam, between Grade II listed Rectory Farm House and St Marys Church, these exceptional homes will be completed by early 2015 to the highest standard with quality natural materials.

A combination of unique stone and timber framed buildings has given scope to combine original features and modern touches, enhancing the existing structures and creating spacious and character-rich homes. External finishes have been carefully considered, blending restored chalk block and ovolo-moulded weatherboarding with a mixture of natural slate and clay tiles to produce a sympathetic and aesthetically pleasing finish. Internally the selection of superior materials, fittings and finishes results in comfortable and contemporary living while maintaining a connection to the immediate area and surrounding countryside.

Location

Great Shelford, 4 miles south of the city of Cambridge, is one of Cambridgeshire's largest villages. With a mainline station in the village that provides fast and regular trains between Cambridge and London Liverpool Street, the properties on the Rectory Farm Barns development are ideal for both local and London commuters. Additionally, junction 11 of the M11 is only a couple of miles distant giving easy access to the A1(M) and the Midlands as well as North London.

Cambridge provides unrivalled access to some of the best schools and educational facilities in the whole of the UK. Whether it be state or private, primary, secondary, 6th Form or University, parents have their choice of consistently high performing establishments. This includes Kings Cambridge, The Perse School, Comberton Academy Trust, The Leys, Hills Road 6th Form and, of course, the many colleges of The University of Cambridge.

The properties themselves are set back from Church Street, part of the road that runs East to West from the A1301 to Little Shelford. Sitting on the village's Western boundary, the properties benefit from inclusion within the village while maintaining a link to the open countryside across the river.

Great & Little Shelford Primary School is also located on Church Street and has a great reputation, all pupils achieving Level 4 or above in English and Mathematics in 2013. Other local amenities include St Marys Church, also on Church Street, a Boots and Shelford Delicatessen on Wollards Lane plus a butchers, convenience store, hairdressers, beauty therapist and myriad other services all within easy walking distance.
