Stock VillageStock, Essex, CM4 9LL

This imposing home was constructed around 2006 and enjoys an unusually large plot of about 1.6 acres, enclosed by a mature boundary of trees affording privacy. The house offers light-filled accommodation spanning over 7,100 sq ft, exemplified by large Regency-style windows, high ceilings throughout and well-proportioned rooms. The principal rooms - including the kitchen, drawing room, living room and principal bedroom suite - have a lovely outlook over the rear gardens. The house is tucked away off a private lane and within approximately 250m of the village centre.

In all about 1.6 acres.

At the centre of the house is an imposing reception hall with a stunning bespoke staircase. There is a cloakroom and W/C adjacent to the entrance. At the front of the house, either side of the hall, is a dining and drawing room. A cosy snug lies adjacent to a study, fitted with bespoke furniture, and overlooking the grounds is a living room with double doors onto a terrace and featuring a fireplace. Taking centre stage is the beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room with Shaker-style cabinetry wrapped around a substantial island and including a range of integrated appliances. This is a great area for entertaining, with direct access onto the rear terraces. Lying next to the kitchen is a large pantry and utility room. Edging the terrace on the northern boundary is a link room serving the Hydropool and a gym with its own en suite shower room.

The first floor has an impressive landing overlooking the entrance hall. There are 4/5 bedrooms on this floor - bedroom 5 currently being used as a dressing room. The principal bedroom lies across the rear of the house with double doors onto a balcony offering lovely, elevated views over the grounds. Linked is a dressing room and en suite bathroom. The other three bedrooms all have en suite facilities. The second floor has two further en suite bedrooms.

Outside
A set of tall electric gates on red-brick pillars frame the entrance and open into a wide gravel-topped drive providing a secure and substantial area of parking. Attached is a double garage with twin up/over doors and access into the house.

The landscaped grounds at the rear have been thoughtfully designed, split level, with an elevated terrace, low maintenance ‘Astro turfed’ garden with an in-ground plunge pool. Wide stone steps with metal balustrade descend to a lower terrace and the lawns. Either side of the steps is a topiary garden, woven with hedging and pathways.

The lawns gently slope away from the house, lined with laurel and mature evergreen and deciduous trees, extending to about 125m in length then widening at the bottom to 111m across, providing a leafy oasis with store barns and composting area.
