This detached period cottage, dating from around 1860, blends original character with recent refurbishment and extended accommodation. Exposed beams, oak floors and red brickwork give an authentic, cosy feel, while vaulted double bedrooms and modern bathrooms provide comfortable family living. The layout suits flexible use: a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, a converted garage with en-suite that doubles as a TV/guest room, and an independent studio/office above — ideal for home working.
Externally the house sits in a semi-rural spot with a wraparound garden, patio areas and private off-street parking for several cars. The plot is a decent size for the setting and mature boundary hedging gives a sense of seclusion while being only 1.3 miles from Stock village. Local schools are well regarded and mainline stations (Billericay, Chelmsford) are within a short drive, making the location attractive to families who commute.
Important practical points: tenure is not stated and should be confirmed. The listing information contains conflicting heating details (air-source heat pump with underfloor electric heating noted alongside a separate reference to oil-fired central heating); prospective buyers should verify the actual heating/fuel arrangement and recent works. Overall, this is a characterful family home with modernised living space and versatile outbuildings, best for buyers seeking countryside charm with contemporary comforts.
