Silsoe Road, Maulden, MK45

Characterful Edwardian Family Home in the Heart of Maulden

Occupying a private plot within the well-regarded village of Maulden, this individually built detached house dates from the Edwardian era and combines generous, versatile accommodation which has been thoughtfully improved throughout, including new sash and bay windows, re-fitted family bathroom and the installation of solar panels with battery storage.

Ground Floor

An entrance hall leads through to the principal reception rooms, including a dining room opening to the kitchen/breakfast room, a well-proportioned space extending to over twenty-two feet. A separate sitting room and family room offer further living space, the sitting room benefitting from a wood burner, with both rooms retaining original period cornicing. The kitchen itself retains a characterful coal-fired Rayburn, as well as a gas hob and oven. A conservatory extends the accommodation further, and the ground floor is completed by a study, shower room, utility room, boot room and useful storage cupboard, ideal for a family working from home or requiring flexible guest accommodation.

First Floor

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is complemented by an ensuite and a versatile dressing room, which could serve as a fifth bedroom subject to reconfiguration. A superb guest bedroom sits above the garage, extending to over eighteen feet square with eaves storage to either side, whilst two further double bedrooms are arranged around the landing, together with a recently renovated family bathroom.

Outside

The garden faces southwest and enjoys a genuinely private, secluded setting, not overlooked and enclosed by mature planting. The current owners have added a pergola, cultivated a pond and planted two apple trees, with a decking area and bench seating offering a variety of spots to sit out, together with ample space for garden games. A double garage and driveway provide generous off- road parking. The property also benefits from an owned solar PV system, comprising fourteen 400W panels, a 5kW Solax inverter and a 5.8kWh Solax battery, contributing to genuinely impressive energy efficiency and an EPC rating of B, a notable feature for a house of this age and character.
