The Property

For sale with no onward chain. A wonderfully characterful bungalow barn conversion dating back to the late 19th century, originally constructed as a stable block and thoughtfully transformed into a beautifully light and versatile three-bedroom home. Enjoying a peaceful elevated position on the edge of the highly desirable village of Coveney, the property combines the charm of countryside living with the convenience of being just a few miles from Ely’s historic city centre and railway station.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious and practical hallway with built-in storage and a rear-facing window that allows natural light to flow through. A separate cloakroom provides a WC and wash basin with tiled splashbacks. Leading on, the heart of the home is the open-plan living area and kitchen – a delightful space featuring vaulted ceilings, a Velux skylight, and dual-aspect windows including a rear box-bay window offering views over the garden. Beautiful countryside views also enjoyed to the front. The kitchen is well-fitted with a range of wooden wall and base units, worktops, tiled splashbacks, space for a cooker and plumbing for appliances, all neatly arranged to offer both style and function.

A separate utility room provides an additional sink, base unit, tiled splashbacks and plumbing for a washing machine, making household tasks easy and out of sight.

The home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with a tranquil outlook. Bedroom One is a spacious dual-aspect room with views over both the front and rear gardens, a built-in cupboard, and a fitted vanity basin. Bedrooms Two and Three enjoy views to the front, overlooking open fields and the rolling Cambridgeshire landscape, with Bedroom Two also benefitting from a built-in wardrobe and basin.

The bathroom is smartly finished with a bath and shower over, tiled surrounds, heated towel rail, vanity unit and skylight for natural ventilation and light.

With excellent proportions, countryside views from almost every window, and a layout ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, this property offers flexible and charming accommodation that could suit a wide range of buyers — from downsizers seeking single-storey living to professionals and families looking for country life close to Ely.
