The Grange is arguably one of the most important houses in Great Shelford and by virtue of its position and stunning appearance it has become a landmark within the heart of the village. A former 14th century manor house believed to have been rebuilt in the 16th century The Grange has a rich history having previously been home to both the Grain family and Carter Jonas families. Much remodelled and altered in the late 19th century by the Carter Jonas family in vernacular revival style the property features stunning part timber framed/part red brick elevations beneath a handsome steeply pitched peg tiled roof, with 3 magnificent red brick chimney stacks with grouped octagonal shafts.
The house was divided in 1983 (into The Grange and West Grange) and has remained in separate ownership ever since. The Grange is largely made up of what would have been the original hall and cross wing, together with more recent additions and offers generously proportioned accommodation extending to around 4,500 sq. ft.
Particularly worthy of note is the spectacular 33' drawing room (former hall) with exquisite open fireplace and panelled walls, and the other side of the reception hall is an equally remarkable panelled kitchen/family room with tall sash windows giving breathtaking views down the gardens. Upstairs can be found 5 large bedrooms including a fine master bedroom with adjacent dressing room/en suite and there is also a large guest suite with en suite bathroom and further family bathroom (2). The large loft room provides further potential accommodation as does the enormous roof space (subject to the necessary planning consents).
Whilst the property would benefit from some updating the accommodation boasts many wonderful period features including the aforementioned panelling to all the principal rooms on the ground floor, open fireplaces and exposed timbers. The fenestration throughout is also worthy of special mention, the attractive leaded lights in the arts and crafts style combining beautifully with the large sash windows of the cross wing (all still with the original shutters)
The property also enjoys the most wonderful setting. Virtually opposite the pretty village church and looking down Church Street towards the village centre, the house stands back from the road behind a low flint wall with gravelled driveway and parking area to the front for numerous vehicles. The spectacular gardens to the rear feature a neatly trimmed formal lawn flanked by mature thickly planted beds and borders, mature yew hedging and numerous specimen trees including a magnificent copper beech. There is a large paved terrace immediately to the rear of the house with covered seating/barbeque area ideal for alfresco dining and the wide gardens in all extend to some 1.8 acres.
A gracious and imposing Grade II Listed former manor house commanding a prominent position in the heart of the village, within stunning gardens and grounds of approximately 1.8 acres.
