Homes for sports enthusiasts
Bloor Homes’ development at Silsoe Grange in Bedfordshire not only benefits from a village location but also has a great range of sport and leisure facilities close at hand.
There’s an activity for everyone in and around Silsoe. Local attractions include the magnificent 90-acre Wrest Park, where you can walk along the reinstated historic pathways, enjoying the gardens, pavilion and statues. For a work out in the local gym, there is Flitwick Leisure Centre or for golfers, Beadlow Manor Golf Club is just a few miles away, while Silsoe Parish Council has mapped out six walks varying in length from 3 to 6.7 miles.
If you like to be more active there is bowling, rock climbing and the Snozone where you can learn to ski, a few miles away in Milton Keynes. Milton Keynes is also home to a sailing club where adults and children can learn to sail all year round.
The towpaths of the Grand Union Canal are a great place for walking or cycling or for hiring a boat for a day out on the water. The recently completed Luton Sports Village is keeping the Olympic spirit alive, offering a wealth of facilities, including a 50m pool and diving facility.
Vanessa Macnee, Sales Director at Bloor Homes, comments: “Silsoe Grange is perfectly placed for people who like to be active in their spare time. From the local leisure centre to Milton Keynes and its range of more adventurous activities, there’s something to suit every taste.”
Currently available at Silsoe Grange are two and three bedroom homes in different styles but all finished to the high specification for which Bloor Homes is renowned, including the two bedroom ‘Marford’ which is perfect for first time buyers.
