Originally the dower house to Little Shelford Manor, the property was previously owned by Thomas Bacon, the British engineer, who developed the first practical hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells. Its present owners have lived there since 1978 and undertook complete refurbishment of the property when they moved in.

On the first floor of the Victorian house is a galleried landing, off which there are five bedrooms and a sauna, as well as a family bathroom and a large main bedroom suite. Outside the gardens and grounds are mature and well-maintained.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
