Holly Walk, Silsoe Village

A HOME WITH TARDIS LIKE PROPORTIONS. From first impressions this vastly extended detached home appears to be a family home set back from the road in the stunning village of Silsoe, however this doesn't even begin to tell the story. This property in fact offers over 1900 sq ft of accommodation. For a property dating back to 1950s the internal accommodation offers simply eye-watering dimensions having been extended and largely down to the sympathetic floor plan.

A welcoming entrance area sets the tone for the ground floor with routes leading into an impressive 23ft family lounge/dining room with double opening doors leading into the 24ft family sitting/breakfast room which over looks the private rear garden, a kitchen in the opposite direction with a utility room and a guest cloakroom/wc.

Upstairs the staggering dimensions continue with a SIX bedrooms, family bathroom and separate shower room.

The interior has been maintained throughout using a soft, neutral colour pallette.
Outside the area is established with mature trees and shrubs.

Holly Walk is located within the heart of the Village off the High St which is the arterial road in the historic village of Silsoe.

Reminders of the area's history can be found all over the village and we'd recommend taking the family for a meal in the picturesque public house such as The Star & Garter and English Heritage 'Wrest Park' both located off the High Street.

Silsoe is home to the cornerstones of daily life with an 'outstanding' rated primary school, leisure centre, village pub, central green and convenience store. The surrounding villages offer further choice with the Georgian town of Ampthill with Waitrose and weekly market, the retail facilities of Flitwick and the pretty High St at Arlesey close by - the latter two both enjoying direct train services to London Bridge in less than an hour. Close enough to commute. With enough distance to keep the bustle at bay.

Interesting to know that by 1563 there were 21 families living in Silsoe. The village growth was largely influenced by the needs of the Wrest Park estate and most of the inhabitants were servants, gardeners, stable hands and blacksmiths who lived in thatched and terrace cottages some of which still exist today. There was also a baker, who supplied Wrest House, and in the roof of the old bakehouse off the High Street, the oven ventilation can still be seen. From 1715 an annual fair was held on 10 September and a weekly market on Wednesdays. By the mid-19th century a number of trades were present in the village. There was a milkman, cobbler, draper, builder and a grocer.

Step outside of Silsoe and enjoy enviable connections to some of Bedfordshire's and Hertfordshire's best towns - all within easy commute to include Luton Town, Hitchin, Bedford and Milton Keynes for Costco and all the major department stores.
