Great Shelford is one of the
most sought after villages south of the city thanks to its easy
access to town and Addenbrooke‘s by road, regular buses, car free
purpose built cycleways and train from its mainline railway station
that also goes direct to London Liverpool Street.
The historic village centre has
excellent day to day facilities including two small supermarkets, a
convenience store, a deli, hairdressers, doctors, dentist,
dispensing chemist, two pubs, restaurants and more. The primary
school is very well regarded and there are various community
facilities and social clubs. The large recreation ground has a new
pavilion, tennis club and sports pitches and annually hosts the
excellent Shelford Feast festival.

those looking for a balance of convenience and a traditional
village feel and offers the real possibility of living day to day
without the need to regularly drive out of the
village.
