Summary - MALTING HOUSE HIGH STREET SILSOE BEDFORD MK45 4EP
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Historic refurbished five-bed with huge private garden and double garage.
Grade II-listed 17th-century detached house, c.3,000 sq ft
A striking Grade II-listed family home in the centre of Silsoe, Malting House (aka Church Cottage) combines 17th-century character with a recent, high-quality refurbishment. Set over roughly 3,000 sq ft, the house offers five bedrooms, generous reception rooms and a large, southeast-facing private garden that feels utterly secluded despite its High Street location.
The layout works well for family life: substantial ground-floor entertaining spaces, a wood‑floored garden room with French doors, a fitted kitchen with pantry and utility, plus versatile top-floor space suitable for a home study or teen den. Off-street parking for several cars and a separate double garage address everyday practicalities for commuters and family drivers — Flitwick station is 4.5 miles away with fast trains to London.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status. While the listing preserves many original features and underpins the house’s special character, it will impose restrictions on alterations and may complicate future works. The house has been recently renovated and well maintained, but council tax is above average and broadband speeds are only average for modern home-working needs.
This is a rare opportunity for a family who value heritage, long gardens and village community life. The nearby primary school (Ofsted ‘Good’), parks and local amenities make the setting highly liveable, while easy road and rail links keep London and Luton Airport within reach.
