Poplar Close is brilliantly positioned off Station Road, a short walk from the village's main shops and other facilities on Woollards Lane but tucked away enough to carry no through traffic.
Great Shelford is one of the most sought-after villages south of the City thanks to its easy access to town and the Addenbrooke's campus by road, regular buses and the DNA cycle path, and for the commuter the railway station offers services direct to London Liverpool Street.
The historic village centre has excellent day-to-day facilities including two supermarkets, a deli, hairdressers, doctors, dentist, dispensing chemist, a pub, 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.
It is a great community for those looking for a balance of convenience and traditional village feel and offers the real possibility of living day-to-day without the need to regularly drive out of the village.
