Great Shelford
Working in Great Shelford.
Great Shelford — south of Cambridge, a high-value village with substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses, large gardens and a working conservation area.
Much of Great Shelford's historic core is within the conservation area. Side and rear extensions require careful elevation work, and we routinely use Cambridge gault and London stock brick to match.

About extensions in Great Shelford.
- How long does a Great Shelford extension take to build?
- Single-storey rear extensions of 25–40m² usually run 10–14 weeks on site, with 6–12 weeks of design and planning beforehand. Two-storey extensions add roughly four weeks to the build.
- Can you work on listed buildings or in conservation areas?
- Yes. A significant share of Great Shelford sits within a conservation area, and we handle listed building consent, Article 4 directions, and conservation officer liaison routinely.
- How much does an extension in Great Shelford cost?
- As of 2026, a well-built single-storey rear extension typically runs £2,800–£3,800 per m² including finishes. Glazing, structural complexity and listed status all push that range.
- Do you handle planning permission?
- Yes — drawings, planning portal submission, conservation and listed building consent, and any pre-application enquiries with Great Shelford City or South Cambs.
