Dovehouse Close, Linton, CB21

This well-presented two-bedroom bungalow is designed exclusively for the over 55s and is set within a well-maintained and highly sought-after retirement complex in the heart of Linton. The property enjoys attractive communal gardens, a peaceful setting, and the added benefit of no upward chain.

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall which provides useful built-in storage and access to all principal rooms. The main bedroom is a comfortable double featuring built-in wardrobes and a side-facing window with fitted shutters. The second bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes with sliding doors and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the communal gardens. The bathroom is well appointed and fitted with a walk-in shower enclosure, panelled bath with shower attachment, wash basin with vanity storage, low level WC and a heated towel rail.

The recently refitted kitchen is finished to a high standard, comprising a modern range of base and wall units, ceramic sink, induction hob with Bosch oven and microwave above, integrated washing machine and slimline dishwasher, along with space for a free-standing fridge freezer. A front-facing window with fitted shutters allows excellent natural light. The bright and airy sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, features an electric fireplace, and has a glazed door opening directly onto the south-easterly facing communal gardens, creating a lovely connection to the outdoor space.

Externally, a paved patio walkway leads to the front door, alongside a useful external storage cupboard and a small lawned garden area. Residents benefit from access to a communal car park and beautifully maintained communal gardens, which are a particular feature of the development.

The property is managed by FirstPort Sheltered Housing and is available exclusively to residents aged 55 and over. There is an annual service charge of £2,735.83, payable yearly, which covers communal maintenance, building insurance and the provision of a resident warden service.

Linton is one of South Cambridgeshire’s most desirable and well-served villages, offering an excellent range of day-to-day amenities including independent shops, cafés, a bakery, post office, a co-operative convenience store, medical centre, pharmacy and highly regarded schools, all centred around its vibrant High Street. The village also benefits from regular bus services into Cambridge.

For those with connections to the city, Linton is particularly well placed for access to Cambridge via the A1307, with Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus reachable in approximately 20–25 minutes, making this an ideal location for hospital staff or those wishing to remain within easy reach of the city while enjoying a quieter village lifestyle. The property is also conveniently positioned for Haverhill (approximately 10 miles) and the wider road network.
