I'm slowly setting up my part time home office in the spare bedroom. I want something that isn't the standard lump of grey aluminium so that its still really a bedroom as opposed to an office.. Has anyone found something half acceptable? Ideally need 3 full draws.

I've started also considering double height double width ones like this: https://www.bisleydirect.co.uk/essentials-side-fil...

Have I missed something or am I doomed to an ugly lump?

You can get various size / different types with a wood finish which may blend in better but always going to look like a filing cabinet unless you get something bespoke made.

Utterly innocuous but may work because of it https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/galant-drawer-unit-wi...

We have a couple (in a study) - they work well, particularly with a bookcase above

Have a look on Gumtree - there are loads for sale. How about this one for £75:

Check the size of your files, most cabinets take foolscap files, other only take A4 files.
