Stock, CM4 9DB

Beresfords are delighted to present this versatile two-bedroom, three-reception room home, situated in the picturesque village of Stock. Offering a generous total area of approximately 1,228 sq ft across two floors, this property combines countryside living with practical family accommodation, and with excellent potential to extend subject to the necessary planning consents, represents a rare opportunity to create a truly bespoke family home in one of Essex's finest villages. Upon entering via the entrance hall, you are immediately welcomed by a well-considered layout that makes excellent use of the available space. The generous living room is a real focal point of the home, featuring striking William Morris floral wallpaper, a fireplace, and attractive timber-effect flooring, the room flows naturally through to the conservatory beyond. The conservatory is a particularly appealing addition, bathed in natural light and overlooking the rear garden, making it an ideal space to relax and soak in the surrounding greenery through every season. The kitchen is a real highlight, stylishly fitted with sage-green shaker-style cabinetry, a striking green range cooker, complementary stone-effect flooring and a retro-style fridge freezer. It comfortably accommodates a dining table, making it as practical as it is attractive. A separate ground floor bathroom and a versatile reception room/study complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, the first floor provides two generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a standout room, bright, spacious and enjoying a lovely outlook. The second bedroom is equally well-sized and full of light. Both rooms benefit from useful eaves storage. The property also enjoys a large gravel driveway to the front and a private rear garden with considerable potential to be transformed into a wonderful outdoor space. For those looking to add further value, the generous plot and existing footprint lend themselves well to future extension, subject to planning permission.
