West End Road, Silsoe, MK45

Beautifully Remodelled Four Double Bedroom Period-Style Home in Non-Estate Setting on West End Road, Silsoe

Positioned in the sought-after Bedfordshire village of Silsoe, this approximately 2,228 sq ft four double bedroom detached home offers a considered balance of period-style character and contemporary family living. Comprehensively remodelled in 2004 to the current owners' brief, the property combines traditional materials, clay roof tiles, multi-paned windows, solid wood doors and brick and rendered elevations, with the practical layout, generous proportions and quality finishes expected by modern households. Several principal rooms enjoy views of the village church tower, and the position at the end of a no-through road places open countryside, Wrest Park and the village centre all within a short walk.

Ground Floor – Considered Layout for Modern Family Living

A solid wood entrance door opens into a porch leading through to a reception hall with solid oak flooring and an oak staircase. To the right, a study overlooks the front garden, while the dual aspect sitting room features French doors to the garden and a decorative brick fireplace. Forming the heart of the home is a 33' open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with marble worktops, Mandarin Stone tumbled limestone flooring and an included SMEG dual fuel Range cooker. A 2.3m double pantry cupboard delivers extensive storage, and the dual aspect room comfortably accommodates a dining table and additional seating. A rear hall connects to the garden and to the utility, with plumbing for a washing machine. A cloakroom finished in high-quality Duravit sanitary ware completes the ground floor, with 2.3m ceiling heights throughout adding to the sense of space.

First Floor – Four Double Bedrooms and Two Bath/Shower Rooms

The landing benefits from two Velux roof lights and useful under-eaves cupboards. The principal bedroom is a notable feature of the house: a 22'9" x 16'4" dual aspect room with views over the village church tower and the rear garden, twin wardrobes and a Fired Earth ensuite comprising a walk-in shower with drench head, pedestal wash basin and half-panelled walls. Bedroom two also enjoys views over the church tower. Bedrooms three and four both face the front. The family bathroom is finished in Fired Earth porcelain tiling and comprises a panelled bath with shower mixer, pedestal wash basin and wc, with natural light from a Velux window.

Outdoor Living – Landscaped Gardens Designed Around the Sun

The property is set back from the road behind an attractive landscaped frontage with lawns, soft planting and hedge screening, accessed via a shingle driveway with granite edging and a five-bar side gate. The rear and side gardens are mature and well-screened, with shaped lawns, planted borders, low-level reclaimed brick walling, pathways and established trees including a corkscrew Willow. Seating areas have been positioned to follow the sun across the day: a flagstone patio offers space for outdoor dining, while a second area captures the setting western sun. Practical features include a greenhouse, a garden shed and external power points to both front and rear gardens.

Integral Garage and Recreation Space

The integral garage has been converted into a private home gym, with power and lighting and a pedestrian door at the rear providing direct access to the garden. The space illustrates the flexibility on offer for hobbies, home fitness or alternative uses subject to requirements.

Location – Silsoe Village with Wrest Park, Strong Schools and Commuter Links

West End Road is a quiet no-through road, with public footpaths and bridleways accessible within a five-minute walk. A similar walk past the church leads to Wrest Park, the Grade I-listed English Heritage estate featured as a filming location in productions including Bridgerton, The Crown and Downton Abbey. The village retains a genuine community feel, with a Co-op, post office, pub, fish and chip shop and garden centre, while Waitrose in Ampthill and Tesco in Flitwick lie within ten minutes. Schooling is well catered for, with catchment provision at Barton-le-Clay and Harlington and established bus routes to the Bedford independent sector. Flitwick mainline station, approximately five miles away, runs direct Thameslink services to St Pancras International from around 41 minutes, with M1 Junction 12 within six miles.
