This imposing five bedroom modern home offers flexible, well-laid out accommodation extending to around 1900sqft, laid out on one level. Having recently undergone a programme of redecoration including new carpets and blinds, the property is ready for immediate occupation but would give any potential purchaser the opportunity to add their own modifications including extension and remodelling. There is an attractive and well-fitted kitchen/breakfast/diner with a comprehensive range of units and fitted appliances, a large sitting room with fireplace and doors to the terrace and garden, five bedrooms (one previously used as a study) and two modern bathrooms (one en-suite). There is also a useful utility and a cloakroom. A viewing of this unusual and special property is highly recommended.

The property really comes into its own with its outside space and versatility. The detached leisure suite tucked away at the back of the house currently comprises an indoor heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, changing rooms and shower/WCs along with a games room but could easily be converted into working from space, hobby studios or annexe accommodation. The gardens are well maintained and delightfully excluded, extending to around 1.75 acres with mature tree and shrub planting and al-fresco terraced dining and entertaining areas. There is brick paved circular driveway providing extensive parking and giving access to the three garages. The gardens provide direct access to countryside walks and footpath to the village and schools.

Linton is a popular and well-served village situated just . It sits in rolling countryside and the property itself occupies an unrivalled, elevated position on the edge of the village. Linton has varied local amenities and schooling for all ages, including the highly regarded Linton Village College, all within walking distance. The lovely market town of Saffron Walden with its variety of independent shops, cafes and restaurants is 5 miles away and further amenities are available in Haverhill, addressing everyday shopping needs (8 miles) and Cambridge is only a short and easy drive away. For the commuter there is easy access to a mainline railway station at Whittlesford, with services into London Liverpool Street and Stansted Airport, along with excellent major road networks via the A11.

Agents note: Owing to its tucked away position, the directions to the property are as follows: From the A1307 coming from Cambridge, turn right towards Hadstock. Ignore the first sign to The Grip and follow the road, taking the second right, opposite a brick and flint wall (The Grip Barns). Follow the road to the top and house can be found ahead of you.
