Terraced house for sale in 2 Stock Lodge, High Street, Stock CM4

With all the grandeur of a stately home wrapped up in this gorgeous Georgian property, 2 Stock Lodge could be your own little slice of Downton Abbey! Once an 18th Century manor house, Stock Lodge is set back from the road, nestled in the private grounds of 60 High Street and has since been divided into four properties. This house will immediately win your heart - it might be small on size but it’s big on charm.

A grand front porch sets the scene for the space to come. A fully glazed entrance door opens to inside and you’re immediately struck by how high the ceilings are, beautiful period features, classical style ceiling roses plus candle chandeliers and wall lights. Glazed doors throughout ensure that natural light floods in and together with the extra height ceilings and grand proportions, the overall feeling is of light and space.

The spacious entrance hall, with steps up towards the back of the house, draws your eye through to the the rear, where a spectacularly elegant lounge is dominated by stunning floor to ceiling bow fronted windows overlooking the rear garden. Damask style wallpaper, a decorative ceiling with central chandelier and feature fireplace set the tone of timeless elegance.

The main bedroom is equally gorgeous - strikingly spacious with high ceilings and glazed patio doors leading out to a glorious half moon shaped balcony with ornate balustrade. Replay your own balcony scene or simply admire the view! The bedroom also features built in wardrobes and dressing table and a very dainty WC!

Downstairs, the kitchen is packed with built in units and appliances and is spacious enough for a table and chairs. Lovely big windows, which overlook the front communal area, with plantation style shutters allow lots of natural light to fill the room. Equally, the bathroom upstairs shares the same outlook from triple pane windows with blinds and Jack and Jill doors lead to bedroom two and the landing.

A lovely back garden with patios at each end and a low maintenance artificial lawn, its own garage and two additional parking spaces, this is a wonderful rare find in Stock.
