Long Lane, Linton CB21

Offered with no onward chain, The Granary is a beautifully converted and extended Grade II listed home, originally dating back to the late 17th century.

The result is a truly special home that feels full of history yet perfectly suited to contemporary living.

The extended hallway provides a warm and welcoming entrance, leading into a spacious and characterful living room.
