Set on about a quarter-acre in the peaceful village of Castle Camps, Nova Vida is a much-improved six-bedroom chalet bungalow with a self-contained one-bedroom annexe. The house combines period character—exposed brick fireplaces, oak bressummers and roll-top baths—with a light-filled, contemporary kitchen extension and generous reception space. Mature lawns, vegetable beds and a terraced seating area with brick oven create private outdoor rooms for family life and entertaining.
Internally the layout suits a growing or extended family. The ground floor offers flexible living: an impressive open-plan family room with woodburner, separate sitting and dining areas, utility and a shower room, while five bedrooms and family bathrooms provide comfortable accommodation. The first-floor principal bedroom includes an en suite; Velux windows and dormer openings bring light into the upper rooms. The detached annexe provides independent one-bedroom accommodation, useful for guests, multigenerational living or rental income.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the property is oil-fired, which may affect running costs compared with mains gas; broadband speeds are modest (up to c.73 Mbps download, 18 Mbps upload) for a rural location; council tax band E is above average. There is a shared right of way and maintenance agreement for the access track and fencing, plus a restriction on business use at the site — both are legal matters a buyer should review.
For buyers seeking village life with space and flexibility, this substantial chalet bungalow offers scope to personalise further while benefitting from immediately usable family accommodation and an independent annexe. Its proximity to good primary and secondary schools, nearby market towns and commuter links to Cambridge and Audley End station add practical appeal.
