LOCATION - SHEPRETH
Shepreth is a peaceful civil parish village in South Cambridgeshire, lying 6 miles from the town of Royston and 10 miles from the city of Cambridge. While a small village, there are many attractive benefits, including a variety of shops, tea rooms, and two highly-regarded pubs offering brilliant food, beers, music, and a lively atmosphere.

The village is also home to Shepreth Wildlife Park, a famous local attraction working to conserve all manner of creatures from hedgehogs to owls, meerkats to lynx. Situated to the south of the village, the All Saints Church is a historic 12th Century building and is in regular use today with a small but active congregation. There are many clubs and organisations to join, as well as fitness classes to attend.

Shepreth also benefits from its own railway station, with regular services to both Cambridge and London Kings Cross, and there is a wide range of amenities, including recreation grounds, a village hall which is available for hire, and schools and doctor's surgeries in neighbouring villages.

Since Royston is also very close, residents have access to the many other amenities the town has to offer, such as the leisure centre, sports clubs, dentist's surgeries, and highly-regarded schools for all ages. The A1M and M11 are within a 20-minute drive via the A10/A505, and London Stansted and Luton Airports are both 30-minutes away.

To truly appreciate what this lovely village has to offer, we invite all potential buyers to visit and explore the local area. You won't be disappointed!
