A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Grade-ii Listed home in the heart of Linton, coming to the market for the first time in almost half a century. Having been cherished by the same family for the past 48 years, this distinctive four-bedroom residence extends to approximately 184 sq m (1,980 sq ft) and offers an exceptional combination of scale, character and potential. Arranged over three floors and offered with no onward chain, the property provides a unique opportunity to restore and enhance a home of genuine individuality, creating a truly outstanding family residence in one of South Cambridgeshire's most sought-after villages.

The sense of space is immediately apparent upon entering. A welcoming entrance hall leads to the principal accommodation, where high ceilings, large windows and generously proportioned rooms create a light and airy atmosphere throughout. At the heart of the home stands a striking spiral staircase, rising through all three floors and forming a dramatic architectural focal point. The staircase creates a wonderful sense of openness, with views extending upwards through the centre of the house to the top floor, a feature rarely found in homes of this nature.

The impressive drawing room is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Measuring over 21ft in length and enhanced by a beautiful bay window overlooking the High Street, it offers an elegant reception space ideal for both entertaining and everyday family living.

The upper floors provide three further bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom extending to almost 20ft in length and benefitting from a walk-in wardrobe. A family bathroom serves the first-floor accommodation, whilst the second floor offers additional space with scope for a variety of future uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, the property enjoys a large mature secluded rear garden, providing a peaceful retreat away from the village centre. Enclosed by established planting and greenery, the garden offers a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening and family enjoyment. The property also benefits from a gravel courtyard providing several off-street parking spaces, creating a practical and attractive approach to the additional outbuildings and external areas.

A particularly noteworthy feature is the detached garage and adjoining workshop, complemented by a useful first-floor space above. Offering excellent versatility, this building could serve a variety of purposes including a workshop, hobby space, studio, project room or extensive storage, subject to a purchaser's requirements. In addition, there are three further outbuildings providing practical storage for garden equipment and tools, together with a substantial powered shed.
