Old Rectory is a splendid village house set in the heart of Stock village on a mature plot of about 1.5 acres. Part of the 14th century rectory survives; incorporated in the latter 18th century building, which is now the Old Rectory, having been sold away from the church shortly after the Second World War.

The house has substantial and versatile accommodation and is located at the centre of Stock village.

The current owners purchased the property in 2014 and carried out a series of extensive improvement and refurbishment works to the property. Many of the wonderful period features have been preserved and enhanced, which include fireplaces, deep windows, high ceilings to the ground and first floor and a wide curved staircase, which all combined with modern living requirements creates a beautiful atmosphere for family life and 21st century living.

The house is constructed of red brick under a tiled roof. Arranged over three storeys the main facades are orientated to the south. Large windows with a stock brick surround ensure beautiful light-filled rooms and provide spectacular views, particularly on the first and second floors, across the adjoining glebe land towards the church.

A vestibule opens into a fine reception hall, with high panelled ceiling, wooden floor and featuring a fine sweeping staircase. At the front of the house, overlooking the village church are two large reception rooms. The dining room has a full-height bay framing lovely views of gardens. On the opposite side of the hall, adjacent to the kitchen, is a 17 ft reception room, finished in ‘on trend' period colours and including a marble fireplace, high ceilings with cornice and ceiling rose. The kitchen is open-plan to the breakfast room, fitted with bespoke Shaker-style units, wrapped around a substantial island. An inner hallway separates the garden-facing reception rooms, utilised as a playroom and sitting room. In addition, there is a utility room, cloakroom and washroom.

There are up to nine bedrooms arranged over two floors, although these could be reduced to form suites. There are six bath/shower rooms (four en suite).
