3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Straight Drove, Coveney, Ely CB6

***guide price £500,000 - £525,000***

A beautifully presented and significantly modernised three double bedroom detached dormer bungalow, set within a superb plot of approximately 3/4 of an acre, surrounded by open Cambridgeshire countryside and enjoying uninterrupted views across the surrounding fields.

Originally built in the 1950s and later enhanced with a dormer addition in 2021, Holly Farm offers a brilliant mix of character, modern comfort, land, outbuildings and flexibility. It is the sort of home that will appeal to a wide range of buyers: Families wanting space to grow, buyers looking for multi-generational living potential, those hoping to run a business from home, hobbyists needing proper workshop/storage space, or anyone looking to retire to a peaceful bungalow with land, views and room to breathe.

The main accommodation extends to approximately 107 sq m (1151 sqft) and has been modernised throughout. The ground floor includes a welcoming hall, a large living room with log burner, a separate dining room, a modern kitchen, bathroom, conservatory and two double bedrooms. The first floor provides a further double bedroom within the dormer conversion, with roof windows and far-reaching countryside views.

The living room is a particularly comfortable space, with a warm, homely feel and the wood burner creating a strong focal point. The kitchen has been updated with a modern range of units, worktops, tiled flooring and direct access outside, making it practical for everyday family life. The conservatory offers an additional flexible sitting area, overlooking the garden creating a peaceful retreat.

Externally, this is where Holly Farm really separates itself from a standard bungalow. The plot extends to approximately 3/4 of an acre and wraps around the property with generous lawned areas, mature planting, open countryside views and excellent privacy. There is a double garage and extensive off-road parking, making the property ideal for multiple vehicles, work vans, visitors, trailers or motorhomes.

There are two substantial barns on the land, both offering excellent flexibility for storage, workshops, business use or hobbies. Barn 1, closest to the rear garden, is a metal clad and timber barn measuring approximately 35 ft x 15 ft, giving around 525 sq ft / 48.8 sq m. Barn 2 is a brick-built barn measuring approximately 35 ft x 18 ft 4 in, giving around 642 sq ft / 59.6 sq m. Combined, the two barns offer approximately 1,167 sq ft / 108.4 sq m of additional usable space, with power cabling to both barns.

There is also a static caravan on the land, which adds further flexibility. This could work well as additional accommodation, a work-from-home space, guest overflow, hobby room or multi-generational living solution. In addition, there is a separate outbuilding currently used as a pub/bar, creating a brilliant entertaining space for family and friends, while still being flexible enough for alternative use.

For anyone wanting space to develop, extend or adapt, the plot and existing layout provide clear potential, subject to the relevant planning permissions. Whether that is further accommodation, home office space, improved leisure facilities, workshops or simply making the most of the land, Holly Farm offers far more scope than the average property.
