Silverstone – A Brief Description

The village of Silverstone was originally surrounded by the ancient woodland of Whittlewood Forest. The locals of the village would have made their living from making charcoal and other woodland crafts. In the 12th the woodland surrounding Silverstone became home to a royal hunting lodge century used by King John.

Silverstone was also the site of a 12th century priory known as Luffield Abbey where a monastic community flourished. With the dissolution of the monasteries the Abbey fell into ruin and the last remnants of the structure were covered over in the Second World War when an aerodrome was built on the site. This aerodrome is now home to Silverstone racing circuit and part of the track which is called ‘Abbey Curve’ pays homage to the original Abbey.

The village is still fortunate to have parts of Whittlewood Forest close which are used for outdoor recreation. These include Hazelborough Forest and Bucknell Wood – both of which are currently maintained by the Forestry Commission.

Although Silverstone has moved with the times and has thriving community; it does still maintain a quintessentially English village feel with a number of Listed buildings and is surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Silverstone has excellent transport links and provides an ideal location for families seeking the benefit of good amenities and easy access to the arterial roads of the A43, M1 and M40. Milton Keynes and Northampton are approximately 30 minutes’ drive from where train journeys can be made to London Euston in 1 hour. For a more local range of amenities and facilities, the market towns of Brackley and Towcester are just a short drive away.

The village is also close to a number of excellent schools, including Silverstone Primary School, which has been rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.

A Professional Lettings Service

We are regulated by both the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and ARLA, giving landlords confidence that their property is managed in line with recognised professional standards.

We have detailed knowledge of the local rental market and can advise on appropriate pricing, marketing, and tenant selection. Our referencing and screening process is designed to help secure suitable tenants who will meet their obligations throughout the tenancy.

Our service covers tenancy documentation, renewals, routine inspections, and maintenance coordination. We work with trusted contractors to address repairs promptly and keep the property in good order, while maintaining clear communication with both landlords and tenants.

Photography

Creating the best first impression of your home is essential in order to achieve a quick sale.  Our professional photography is captured using the highest quality professional grade cameras, lenses and flashes.  We do not use fish-eye lenses to give a false impression; however, we will spend time preparing and improving the RAW image data in professional software to ensure that your home is presented in its best light with images that will induce a ‘show-home’ appeal.

Floor Plans

Our in-house surveyors are experienced CAD operatives and we draft all our own floor plans.  This enables us to ensure a higher degree of accuracy than the typical estate agent floor plan.  We also provide a level of detail that enables potential purchasers to understand the space and amenities within your home.  We obtain our measurements for the floor plans using the latest laser scanners which helps to ensure quick, safe, and accurate collection of data.

Dry Rot in Action

Dry Rot in Action

During a recent survey of a Grade II Listed property, we encountered an active outbreak of dry rot within the basement. The fungus had formed extensive mycelium and a distinct rhizomorph “feeding strand” between timber stacks — a striking demonstration of how opportunistic and dynamic timber-decay fungi can be when the conditions are right.

The Return of the HIP?

The Home Information Pack was scrapped over a decade ago, widely dismissed as ineffective and bureaucratic. But with property transactions still plagued by delays and fall-throughs, is it time to revisit the idea — and this time, get it right?

Brick Noggings on Tudor Buildings

Our surveyors have a soft spot for brick noggings on Tudor buildings. These distinctive brick panels, set between timber frames, were a mark of wealth in their time and provide valuable clues about a building’s history, construction, and condition today.
