Banksy Barn Conversion near Cambridge - The Annexe

The Annexe is situated in a quiet english garden in the very heart of the village. Linton boasts 3 pubs, a cafe, Co-op, Post Office, a plethora of parks & picturesque walks as well as being near to Granta Park, Chilford Hall Vineyard, & Curwin Printmaking Studio. A mere 10 miles from Cambridge, 5 miles from Saffron Walden, 5 miles from Duxford Imperial War Museum, and 11 miles from Newmarket Races. This is an ideal location for quick day trips or for work in Cambridge and surrounding villages. ~Cosy, Clean and Chic~ The Annexe is a cosy 1 bedroom open space self contained cottage, newly decorated with a fully fitted, well equipped kitchen with gas range, a dining table for 2+ and futon lounge. Guests also have garden access and can enjoy their own patio space with a full back yard outdoor bistro set. The main entrance to The Annexe is shared with the homeowner's home office and study, but is completely separate from the main house. Guests climb one set of stairs to their own apartment above and step through directly into the kitchen, and dining area. The dining area has 3 seats situated around a round table in front of a full floor to ceiling window with the addition of a fold out futon lounge for relaxing, or reading, and can be easily made up for an extra guest upon request. From there, guests pass through the short hall where the shower and toilet are situated, into the main bedroom with wooden wardrobes, chest of drawers and wall mounted mobile Smart TV which can be relocated to the kitchen. *Please note that The Annexe is open floor plan, meaning there is no real separation between the kitchen, dining area and bedroom. This is of particular importance if you have invited a guest who may be using the futon lounge. We have also recently updated our internet to high speed, and installed a new aerial, however we would truly appreciate guests understanding in the event the internet drops, as it will be outside of our control. - This is the perfect place for a small idyllic village getaway, a place to unplug and get reconnected! ~A Warm Welcome~ The property has recently been refurbished, decorated and comfortably furnished with its own thermostat, plenty of cosy blankets, throws, pillows and proper mugs for wintery stays, as well as wide angle windows and access to the garden patio and seating area for those hotter summery evenings. While we do not provide breakfast, we do provide coffee and tea to get you started and highly recommend visits to The Linton Kitchen Cafe & Bakery just across the street, as they make a far better cappuccino than we ever could! There are little touches through out the garden and property such as the Banksy reproductions on the outer walls of the house, and a lot of art, while the interior presents a modern minimalist bohemian tangibility. Guests have complete privacy and the upstairs suite to themselves. This is the perfect place for Self Isolation if necessary and we are happy to help arrange deliveries. The homeowner has a small office located in a corner of the main floor of The Annexe. Glynn is a very warm, hospitable host and can be on hand if you need him, however we tend to allow guests their privacy and afford them their space to relax. Located directly across Linton High street is the famous Linton Kitchen bakery cafe. Local pubs such as The Dog & Duck where one can enjoy a pimms cup in the garden along the river, and The Crown which is a regular meeting place for walking groups, are located in either direction from your quiet garden. Guests can enjoy freshly baked breads and pastries from Jigsaw Bakery located further along the high street as well as the organic grocer. Also along the high street are local grocers, Co-op, a wine merchants, the Nantias gallery, and a chemist. All you need is within walking distance, though you may be detoured by the Linton duck pond and 'Bill' the goose who may steal your morning croissant if you've not been equipped with bird food. The Linton Kitchen only charges 50p for a small bag, and will direct you down the road to feed the ducks and of course 'Bill' ~ coffee in hand! Parking: there is an allocated space directly beside your accommodation for a small car. Street parking is usually plentiful. Transit: The 13 Stagecoach runs regularly between Linton and Cambridge. Cycling: There is now a cycle path to and from Cambridge and many cafe routes along the way! Extractor Fan We strongly advise use of the extractor fan when cooking as the smoke detector is very sensitive. Laundry Services are available. Microwave Available upon request. We can also offer guests use of a microwave if preferred or required. Internet While we have upgraded internet, this is still a small village in the English countryside, and reception is lost periodically. This is the perfect place for you if you’re looking for a relaxed experience with a wonderful, warm host. Just as Airbnb was meant to be 🏡❤️
