Grade II Listed, Oak Cottage dates in part from the mid/late 16th century and is constructed with a timber frame with rendered infills under a pitched tiled roof. Sympathetically extended in the 1930s, and available for the first time since then, the property offers prospective purchasers a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a wonderful period property in the centre of this desirable and attractive village, which sits within a large plot. The accommodation, which extends to 1,959 sq ft (182 sq m), offers well proportioned rooms which retain a wealth of their original period features. The property is in need of full refurbishment, including some structural work, and further information is available upon request.

Great Shelford is one of the most popular of the necklace villages around Cambridge, benefiting from a good range of local facilities including a variety of shops, primary school, library, church, health centre and recreation ground with tennis courts.

The property is well placed for access to Addenbrookes Hospital, the Park and Ride and Gog Magog Golf Club. It is also conveniently placed for commuters by road or rail with the M11 (junction 11) about 3.5 miles away and the A11 about 5 miles and there is a mainline railway station in the village with services to London's Liverpool Street. The University city of Cambridge provides a considerable range of shopping and cultural facilities along with an excellent choice of schools for all age ranges and is easily accessible via a dedicated cycle path leading directly to Addenbrooke’s Hospital/Biomedical Campus and the city beyond.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 4, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely

    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
