More about the Location....
Mowbray Drive is located in a sought after and peaceful position within Linslade, known mostly for being home to the 1st Linslade Scout Group's headquarters, known as "Nyamba." . The Scout Group has been part of the Linslade community since 1921, and their presence adds to the family-friendly atmosphere of the area. The properties along this road are mostly detached family homes that are rarely available with only a small handful changing hands over recent years.
Linslade, situated on the outskirts of Leighton Buzzard, straddles the borders of Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. Once part of Buckinghamshire, it became part of Bedfordshire following boundary changes in 1965. The residential fabric of Linslade is diverse, catering to various lifestyles. From cosy apartments to expansive family homes, there's a housing option for everyone. The area boasts an abundance of green spaces, such as the serene Mentmore Memorial Park, and the inviting Linslade Woods, offering residents ample opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Linslade is renowned for its esteemed educational institutions. Lower schools like Linslade Lower, Greenleas, and Southcott Lower lay a strong foundation for young learners, while Leighton Middle School and Cedars Upper School offer comprehensive secondary education, ensuring a well-rounded academic experience for families in the area.
One of Linslade's main draws is its excellent transportation network. The mainline railway station provides swift connections to London Euston in under 35 minutes, while easy access to commuter roads like the A5, A421, A4146, and the M1 facilitates convenient travel.
Furthermore, Linslade boasts a vibrant array of local amenities, including charming cafes, delectable restaurants, convenient newsagents, and inviting coffee shops. This blend of modern convenience and small-town charm makes Linslade an idyllic and highly coveted place to call home.
