Hillcrest Farm has been enjoyed as a family home for nearly 20 years, and with the additions of two self contained annexes, it has also provided exactly what the family need to care for each other, while remaining independent.
With over 4300 sq ft of space, this house is deceptive from the outside. Situated on the outskirts of the village of Stock, it has easy access to the A12, but within walking distance of The Ship pub. There is a nearby bus stop which has both local and school bus routes.
The air source heating and solar panels make this an economical property to run. There are savings to be made on council tax if the annexes are occupied by dependents. All the windows were replaced two years ago (apart from the kitchen one which was new when extension was completed 8 years ago).
If you are looking to make money from your property, then either one of the annexes could offer short term rental opportunities too. We have several residents in the village of Stock who rent annexes out short term very successfully.
The current owners have enjoyed being part of the village community and knew the house was for them from the moment they viewed it.
They said “it just felt like home”.
