House For Sale £440,000
Mander Farm Road, Silsoe

A HOME WITH TARDIS LIKE PROPORTIONS From first impressions this good looking Town House appears to be a modern home set off the road in the stunning village of Silsoe, however this doesn't even begin to tell the story. This charming executive property in fact offers over just under 1400 sq ft of accommodation. Constructed by Miller Homes builders of High repute. For a property dating back to 2013 the internal accommodation offers simply eye-watering dimensions, largely down to the sympathetic floor plan.

A welcoming entrance area sets the tone for the ground floor with routes leading into an impressive 18ft family lounge/dining room which over looks the manicured rear garden, a 14ft kitchen/breakfast room in the opposite direction with a downstairs guest cloakroom/WC betwixt both rooms. In the middle of the home the staircase ascends to the first floor level.

Upstairs the staggering dimensions continue with three bedrooms, an en suite shower room to second bedroom and a family bathroom. Just when you think you have seen it all the accommodation continues with the staircase ascending to the second floor where you will find two more double bedrooms and a family shower room. An enviable floorplan offering four bedrooms, two shower rooms and a family bathroom.

The interior has been beautifully maintained throughout using a soft, neutral colour pallette. Outside the rear garden has Astro turf for low maintenance with flower borders.

Mander Farm Road is located of the edge of the Village off the High St which is the arterial road in the historic village of Silsoe. The home is tucked at the end of a cul de sac backing onto the Silsoe Horticultural centre and open countryside. 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.
