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.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.
