Detached house for sale in High Street, Stock CM4

This beautiful, immaculately decorated four double bedroom home is situated right in the middle of the village, but tucked away and set back. You are surrounded by amazing pubs and restaurants and many other facilities that most villages don’t have anymore.

The owners have carried out work to extend the property and it now has an inviting orangery off the kitchen, which provides useable social space.

The kitchen is most definitely the heart of this home, giving an immediate warm and inviting feel, and on sunny days the doors open out onto the landscaped garden. It is private and peaceful with a couple of sitting areas along with a bar area. Lighting compliments the planting, mature trees add to the privacy felt in this garden.

Both bathrooms were refurbished in 2022. There is the opportunity to convert the loft space to create a master suite, with the appropriate permissions.

The sitting room is elegant and calm, with doors opening on to the garden, with a beautiful fireplace (multi-fuel) being the focal point.

Overall this home is a rare beauty, with a strong location - if you have a young family you are within walking distance of pre-school and primary school plus coffee shop for a meet up with the mums. If you are a downsizing couple, you are perfectly situated to enjoy country walks finishing with lunch or dinner at Stock’s fabulous pubs. A viewing wont disappoint.
