A unique opportunity to acquire an edge of village development site of 0.56 acres with planning permission for an impressive 8,579 ft² contemporary country house
Description
An edge of village development site with consent to construct a substantial contemporary home designed by Nicholas Phillips RIBA from award-winning, Cambridge based, NP Architects.
Planning consent S/0073/20/VC (relating to consent reference S/4297/18/FL) has been granted for a 797m² (8,579ft²) striking two-storey dwelling which blends contemporary design with ecological sensitivity. Thoughtfully designed to utilise the topography of its setting and minimise the impact on its surroundings, with generous and flexible open-plan living areas and provision for lift access to all floors, the current design includes a part basement with indoor pool and wellness facilities and the potential for a media/cinema room. With a desire to meet the highest of energy efficiency standards, the design provides for the latest renewable energy and energy saving technology to be integrated with Passivhaus principles.
Bordering open farmland and accessed via a new partially completed private driveway between two existing dwellings, the total site area extends to approximately 0.56 acres. Situated in a natural fold in the landscape and screened by mature trees and hedging, the site enjoys a high degree of seclusion and yet is only a short walk from the village centre.
Of particular benefit, whilst the design of the private driveway is established, there is considerable scope for the purchaser to vary the size, design and layout of the dwelling within the plot, subject to planning permission, where necessary.
This outstanding site provides an exciting opportunity to create a special dwelling, bringing an architectural vision to life in one of South Cambridgeshire’s most desirable villages.
Location
Linton is a popular and thriving village with an active community, striding the river Granta and situated on the Essex/Suffolk borders it is renowned for its picturesque high street and ancient parish church. Village amenities include a large recreation ground, health centre, dentist, veterinary practice, Co-op store, newsagent and post office, three pubs (two with restaurants), the Wylde Sky Microbrewery and tap room, an Indian Restaurant, Linton Kitchen café, a bakery, hairdressing salons and the Linton Zoo Conservation Park.
School facilities include Linton C of E Infant School, Linton Heights Junior School and Linton Village College. The sports facilities of the village college are open to the public. In Cambridge there is a full range of state and private schools for all ages, to which there is a regular bus service. The medieval market town of Saffron Walden is approximately 6.5 miles from Linton, where there is a wide range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities, including an excellent historic market.
The world-renowned university city of Cambridge is approximately 10 miles distant, with its rich cultural and vibrant economic scene attracting world-leading companies, and is at the forefront of pioneering research in all major fields, in particular the flourishing area of life sciences. With Addenbrooke’s Hospital, the Royal Papworth Hospital, the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, the Granta science, technology and biopharmaceutical park, Babraham Research Park, Wellcome Genome Campus and Great Chesterford Research Park all close by, Linton is ideally situated to take full advantage of its association with Cambridge and its prosperity, whilst retaining its own charm and rural appeal.

Stansted Airport is a 30 minute drive (24 miles) along the M11 and the London Liverpool Street train service can be accessed from Whittlesford Parkway Station, just a 12 minute drive away (6.5 miles).
