4 bedroom detached house for sale

This charming detached cottage, dating back to around 1860, beautifully combines period character with thoughtfully extended accommodation and modern refurbishment. The home retains a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, oak flooring, and areas of original red brickwork, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

The ground floor offers a fitted kitchen leading to a dining room with a striking inglenook fireplace, which flows through to a cosy sitting room and then into the spacious living room, complete with French doors opening onto the garden. A ground floor bedroom and bathroom provide excellent versatility, while the former garage has been converted to offer a further bedroom with en-suite wet room, or alternatively a delightful TV/reading room.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings are served by a further family bathroom. To the rear of the property, and accessed via the garden, is a separate studio/office located above the TV/reading room – ideal for home working or creative pursuits.

Externally, the property enjoys a wraparound garden with lawn and patio areas, perfect for outdoor entertaining, as well as private parking for several vehicles.

Set in a semi-rural position, the property is just 1.3 miles from the sought-after village of Stock with its selection of pubs, restaurants, and local amenities. Excellent transport links are close by, with Billericay’s mainline station (Liverpool Street service) only 4 miles away, and Chelmsford City Centre and station 4.8 miles. Oil-fired central heating is also installed.
