An award-winning substantial home of almost 5,000 sq ft situated on a private road in the village of Great Shelford, with extensive leisure facilities including an indoor swimming pool.

The house was awarded ‘UK Single Unit Development of the Year’ at the 2017 LABC Warranty Brick Awards and in the last seven years has been subject to more than £1 million of further improvements, including extensions, a state-of-the-art leisure complex and garden landscaping.

The house is fantastically well positioned for commuting into Cambridge or via surrounding transport links, on one of the area’s best private roads which leads down to the river Cam. Both inside and out the house is immaculately presented with no expense spared, featuring all the latest modern technologies to create a truly one-of-a-kind house that’s future proofed for many years to come. The expansive accommodation is fantastically versatile and offers four reception rooms including a light-filled orangery, an informal kitchen and dining room as well as more formal spaces for entertaining, and a flexible arrangement of bedrooms. There are two en suite principal suites on both the ground and first floors, including one with a private lift down to the main reception room. The remaining bedrooms are either en suite or have access to a bath/shower room, and there is excellent storage throughout. Further highlights include underfloor heating, air conditioning and Japanese self-cleaning toilets.

Separate to the main house, a leisure complex constructed by Origin Leisure is situated at the end of the garden. This comprises a 12m x 4m indoor pool with varying depth, a custom-built Jacuzzi, automatic pool cover and a waterproof 55-inch TV with Yamaha surround system. Situated next door is a Norwegian infra-red sauna, robotic tennis table, an air-conditioned gym and both changing and showering facilities.

Outside

Aspen House is set within a sizeable plot, screened on all sides by mature planting with an impressive copper beech to the front. The landscaping has been enhanced in recent years, with the rear garden particularly beautiful: an expansive lawn is surrounded by a path and bordered by an extensive variety of more than 130 imported trees and flowers, creating a year-round garden that offers both colour and textural interest. The garden is watered by a Hydrawise automatic irrigation system and lit throughout so it can be enjoyed after dark. Access is via security gates opening to a large private driveway and a double garage with automatic doors.

Situation

The village of Great Shelford is situated just south of Cambridge City Centre (4 miles) with a variety of amenities close at hand, including a primary school, a medical centre, coffee shops, a delicatessen, pubs and restaurants. It is one of the most sought-after areas outside of the city for its mainline station with services to London. Cambridge itself offers a fantastic array of shops, superstores, leisure facilities and green spaces, including the world-renowned Botanic Gardens and public walks along the river Cam. As well as the famous university, the city has many excellent schools including The Perse, The Leys, St Faith’s, Hills Road and Long Road Sixth Form College. Road communications are excellent with easy access to the M11, A10, A14 and the A11. Shelford station is 0.6 miles away.
