Little Shelford is a quiet, largely rural village just south of Great Shelford, separated by the River Cam and surrounded by farmland. It is a small settlement — a few hundred residents — with a housing stock that includes period cottages, converted farm buildings, and some modest post-war infill. Clay pantiles and handmade plain tiles are common on the older properties, and many homes here have not been significantly altered, meaning original roof coverings may still be in place. We approach work in Little Shelford with a conservation mindset — matching materials accurately and advising on any planning considerations before we start.

Little Shelford is a designated Conservation Area village and sits in the Green Belt south of Cambridge. Properties here can be subject to planning restrictions and permitted development limitations, which we take into account during our survey and quotation process.
Period cottages and former agricultural buildings with clay tile or slate roofs form the majority of the older stock. Some post-war detached houses and bungalows sit on the village edge. Many properties are rural in character and require careful material matching.
