3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Barley Road, Royston SG8

A beautifully renovated 3-bedroom countryside cottage with stunning views and excellent access to Cambridge and London

Occupying the entire rear half of a thoughtfully divided home, this property offers the privacy of a detached residence, with every room enjoying uninterrupted views across open fields. With over 1,800 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, the home combines generous proportions with natural light and peaceful surroundings.

Sympathetically renovated to retain its charm, the cottage also features some beautiful period details, including a characterful wooden reading nook — the perfect spot to relax with a book while enjoying the garden views.

The ground floor offers a generous open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area – ideal for modern family life and entertaining – alongside a separate, spacious lounge. Both rooms open directly onto the garden via French doors, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A handy utility room with sink and ample storage, plus a downstairs WC and under-stairs cupboard, complete the ground floor. All kitchen units and appliances were newly installed in 2024.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is dual aspect, with traditional wooden shutters and a walk-in wardrobe. Two further bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, children, or a home office. The bespoke bathroom includes a luxurious walk-in rain shower and an extra-large Carronite bathtub – perfect for unwinding.

The outdoor space has been thoughtfully designed, with a vegetable garden and greenhouse to one side and deep herbaceous borders framing a firepit area to the other. A fully insulated garden studio (added 2024), complete with heating and ac, provides a tranquil and inspiring workspace with beautiful views. External power sockets allow for easy installation of garden lighting or additional features. A gate leads out directly onto fields offering lovely country walks to surrounding villages.
