Description Situated to the north of Great Shelford village, quietly tucked away just off Cambridge Road, is Trinity House and its stunning 8.7 acres of mature grounds. Accessed from a private tree lined road, Trinity House has a sweeping driveway stocked with mature and established trees and hedges, all of which benefit from tree preservation orders, ensuring the privacy of this substantial home. At the centre of the plot is Trinity House an imposing Edwardian detached house. To the front is an ample driveway leading to the separate garage. To the left of Trinity House is Plot 1, a development site of 1.3 acres which has consent for the construction of a 6,450 sq ft detached house. To the right is plot 2, also for the development of a 6,450 sq ft detached house set in 3.7 acres. (Planning reference S/2009/16FL.) Trinity House It is not difficult to see the potential that Trinity House has to offer. Constructed in 1912, the house has provided a substantial family home primarily to the January family. Trinity House has a much talked about history, most notably laying claim to having been the venue for The Tea Set, a much talked about 21 st birthday party for Libby and Rosie January which saw an early version of Pink Floyd featuring Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Rick Wright as the band. Paul Simon along with David Gilmour and his band Jokers Wild also played at the same party. Aside from the entertainment history, the home has provided 9,210 sq ft of stunning accommodation set over 4 floors basement, ground, first and second floors. The proposed renovation sees the basement providing a superb gym and cinema room. The ground floor remains ideal for entertaining and will provide an elegant entrance hall with a stunning living/dining/kitchen area with ample doors to the garden. There are three further reception rooms which would make an ideal formal dining room, office/study and further living/drawing room. The first floor has an impressive master bedroom suite with a substantial bedroom leading to a dressing room and studio (which would make an ideal nursery) and a bathroom. Interesting Fact #1 The garden of Trinity House features on the cover of the 1969 Pink Floyd album Ummagumma.
There are three further bedrooms, one of which has an en suite bathroom and there is a further bathroom. Two options are proposed for the second floor one would provide two further bedrooms and a study; the other option is for a studio suite with separate study. See floor plans for further details. The previous owner of Trinity House has already invested in the region of 1m to start refurbishment works. We have been advised by the seller that the house has a new roof and chimney stacks and the first fix heating and electrical works have been carried out. New Development Planning consent (ref: S/2009/16FL) was granted in June 2017 for the construction of two detached houses. Plot 1 sits to the east of Trinity House and Plot 2 to the west.
