High Street, Linton, CB21

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Linton's finest period homes, this handsome detached former merchant's house dates back to the 1650s and occupies a prominent position in the heart of the village. Beautifully maintained and sympathetically updated over the years, the property successfully blends centuries of character with modern-day comfort, all set within approximately 0.2 acres of stunning wrap-around gardens, offering an exceptional degree of privacy.

Extending to approximately 196 sq m (2,110 sq ft) of beautifully presented living accommodation, the property is arranged over three levels and offers exceptional versatility for modern family living. A welcoming entrance hall, complete with a cosy reading snug, sets the tone for the rest of the home. The elegant dining room, featuring solid oak flooring, flows seamlessly into the well-appointed kitchen, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.

There are three further reception rooms, each offering its own individual character. The generous living room centres around a fully functional log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point, whilst both the sitting room and study retain attractive original fireplaces as charming reminders of the property's rich history. A useful cellar provides excellent additional storage, complemented by a ground floor cloakroom.

The first floor comprises four generous double bedrooms, all enjoying double-aspect windows that frame delightful views across the mature gardens. The main bedroom benefits from access to a recently added adjacent shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom.

Outside, the established wrap-around gardens are a particular highlight, with mature trees, well-stocked borders and a variety of seating areas creating a wonderfully private setting. A substantial powered detached double garage, together with extensive driveway parking for numerous vehicles, provides excellent practicality and flexibility, whether for storage, hobbies or workshop use.

Homes of this calibre, combining period charm, generous proportions, a sizeable plot and a prime village location, are seldom available. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate the quality, space and lifestyle on offer.
