Dunsbridge Turnpike, Royston SG8

Unique Converted Barn with River Grounds, Annexe and Exceptional Outdoor Living near Royston

A standout converted barn with river grounds, annexe and serious lifestyle appeal near Royston

Upaloft, Dunsbridge Turnpike isn’t your average countryside home. This is a properly unique converted barn, set in a tucked-away spot just off the A10, offering space, character and lifestyle in equal measure.

Originally transformed and extended around 10 years ago, the main barn now delivers around 2,692 sq ft of accommodation spread over three floors. It’s the kind of place that gives you room to breathe, with flexible living spaces that can shift easily with your lifestyle, whether that’s busy family life, working from home, or simply enjoying the extra space.

Adding to the versatility, the former Mill House has been recently converted and extended into a self-contained one-bedroom annexe. Ideal for guests, extended family or independent living, it gives the whole setup an extra layer of freedom and flexibility.

Outside is where this home really steps up.

Gated access leads in from the A10, opening onto gravelled parking, with a bridge taking you further into the plot and additional parking beyond. From there, the River Shep runs right through the grounds, bringing a calm, natural flow to the whole setting.

The gardens are generous, laid mainly to lawn and dotted with mature trees, with paved seating areas positioned right beside the river. It’s the sort of space that works just as well for quiet mornings as it does for long summer evenings with friends.

And then there are the extras that make this place genuinely memorable. A treehouse reached via a bridge footpath, a breeze house with electricity and a built-in bar area, plus useful outbuildings including a storage shed. It’s part home, part escape.

Despite feeling wonderfully private and surrounded by nature, you’re still just off the A10, with easy links into Royston, Cambridge and beyond.
