This distinctive six bedroom detached barn style home was individually architect designed and built by a previous owner in the 1980s, offering over 3,400 sq. ft. of well proportioned and versatile accommodation. Enjoying a beautiful rural outlook across the Millennium Green, the property is ideally positioned opposite open green space with the added benefit of a children’s play park nearby. Set back from the road, the home is approached via twin black wrought iron gates which open onto an extensive shingle driveway, providing parking for numerous vehicles. To the side, a useful carport offers ideal storage for a camper van, while a mature lawn and well stocked borders enhance the frontage. There are also three apple trees and a Victoria plum tree, all of which produce excellent fruit. Inside, the property is entered through an impressive galleried reception hall. On the left is a practical cloakroom/WC and on the right a staircase rises to the first floor. On the ground floor is the attractive dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units topped with wooden work surfaces. A number of quality appliances are integrated within the design including an 80cm electric hob, refrigerator and Miele dishwasher and double oven. To the far end, there is ample room for a breakfast table and chairs, creating an informal dining area, while an opening leads through to a further family room flooded with morning sunlight. An inner hallway gives access to a refitted shower room featuring a double shower enclosure, low level WC and wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. Modern tiling, recessed lighting and an obscure window complete the space. Beyond this is a walk-in pantry/larder and a superb utility room offering further storage, attractive tiled worktops with a butler sink, and space for additional freestanding appliances. On the opposite side of the hall is the principal reception room, a beautifully proportioned living room measuring 17’2 by 16’6, allowing excellent flexibility for furniture placement. A wood burning stove sits within a chimney recess, while neutral décor and a dual-aspect orientation ensure the room feels warm, bright and welcoming. Off this room is a separate study overlooking the front aspect, ideal for those working from home. Completing the ground floor is the dining room, an especially impressive space measuring 21’8 by 14’3, comfortably accommodating a large dining table and creating the perfect setting for family life and entertaining alike. Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to all first-floor accommodation. The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear and benefits from built-in wardrobes as well as a stylish en-suite incorporating a corner bath, separate shower enclosure, low-level WC and wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. Three further bedrooms are generous doubles, while the remaining two are good sized singles. These are served by a refitted family bathroom fitted with a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure, low level WC and wash hand basin. Modern tiling, a heated towel rail and a Velux window complete the room. Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed with a good sized patio area immediately outside the house, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Beyond, the remainder is laid to lawn. The garden is secluded and enclosed by timber fencing and twin side gates. A superb quadruple garage provides excellent space for vehicles or storage and also benefits from a large first floor with Velux windows. Subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, this area could offer potential for conversion into additional accommodation or office space. The Bedfordshire village of Silsoe is located on the A6 corridor between the major towns of Bedford and Luton. The area is synonymous for its well regarded school catchments, pretty village pub and local store, and leisure centre/gym which are within walking distance from the property. The English Heritage site of 'Wrest Park' is moments from the development and offers the opportunity to explore one of the area's most historic buildings and well publicised gardens spreading over a ninety-two-acre site. Commuter links into London St Pancras from Bedford take approximately 40 minutes and from Flitwick as little as 39 minutes. There is a regular pick-up point within close proximity which takes commuters directly to Flitwick station, this service we understand runs Monday to Saturday, with the first one leaving Silsoe at 7.21am arriving at Flitwick station at approximately 7.34am.
