About this property
Luxury Self Catering 3 bedroom holiday house in Cambridge.
2 Old Pound Yard is a newly refurbished sanctuary in the heart of Great Shelford, one of the most popular South Cambridgeshire villages.
Only a few miles south of Cambridge City Centre, Great Shelford has all the facilities you could possibly require, including a Train Station, Supermarkets, Pubs, Restaurants, Wine Bar, Brunch Bar and Takeaways. There are 2 park & ride sites a short drive away from the property and many cycle paths directly into the city.
Old Pound Yard is a private driveway in the High Street, Great Shelford. There is private off road parking for up to 3 cars and a private walled garden.
The house has been completely refurbished to a high standard and is fully equipped with all home comforts. Managed by the owners, who also live in the village, the house has 3 comfortable bedrooms accommodating up to 6 people, 2 bathrooms incorporating one bath, two showers and shaver points, a living room and separate snug both equipped with wi-fi / Sky Glass TV on HD televisions, a fabulous well equipped kitchen/diner overlooking the garden and a utility room and downstairs cloakroom.
2 Old Pound Yard is a perfect home for anyone visiting Cambridge whether for business or leisure. The best of both worlds it offers close proximity to the centre of Cambridge, Addenbrookes Biomedical Campus and Cambridge University, whilst being in a lively village, close to the countryside and with all amenities on the doorstep. With Waitrose, excellent Farm Shops and rural attractions all a short drive away, it is easy to see why Great Shelford is one of the most sought after villages.
We hope to welcome you to our lovingly prepared property and to making your stay in Cambridge as comfortable as possible.

About the host
Hosted by Elise
We have lived in Great Shelford since 2001 and live very close to this holiday rental. We work from home so are usually around to help guests with any queries. We really want you to enjoy the house and the area and leave feeling pampered and refreshed after your stay.
Why they chose this property
We love our Old Pound Yard house. Although in the centre of this busy village it is set back from the road and is a peaceful, calm sanctuary. Prior to refurbishing the house completely as a holiday home, we rented it as a long term let and our previous tenants all fell in love with its space and tranquility.
What makes this property unique
Old Pound Yard is walking distance to local supermarkets, pubs, a station, bus stops, restaurants, a park and recreation ground, takeaways, bakery, butchers, chemist and library - to name but a few local amenities. The house has private off road parking for up to 3 cars, right outside the front door. There is a lovely walled garden and french doors from the living room and dining room onto the patio. Another unique factor is the artwork around the house which is all painted by local artist Astrig Akseralian, Elise's sister - and if anything grabs your attention all the paintings are available for sale !
