Description
Siljan is offered for sale for the first time since 1952, when it was purchased by the owner from it’s previous owner who had owned it for 40 years. This property is obviously acquired and loved by families and it’s not hard to see why.
The garden is really breath-taking, an old fashioned planted garden with many different areas to enjoy. It’s easy to imagine children and grandchild running around, enjoying the freedom of nature, playing hide and seek, squealing with joy!
A large part of the plot is woodland with beautiful trees, secret paths and magical places.
Mandy Baker, Director of Chalmers says about Siljan
“I have walked passed this beautiful property for many years and wondered what it was like on the inside, so I was really excited to view it - the garden is such an integral part of this property and is a very special place. You can feel yourself calming as you stand and look around, all you can hear are the birds - it must be viewed to appreciate the atmosphere, as it tries to keep it’s charm hidden from the road.”
Located in Whites Hill, one of the most popular roads in Stock due to it’s proximity to the village centre and the rural feel, the houses are spaced so you are unaware of your neighbours, but still while feeling part of the community.
The main house has four good sized bedrooms, one with ensuite. It has three reception rooms, and glorious hallway with many period features throughout the home.
There are three outside stores, perfect for your sit on mower, log store, workshop etc or conversion into living accommodation. There is a two bedroom annex which is in extremely poor condition.
The property is in need of refurbishment, it is now time for the next family to enjoy and love as it has in the past by it’s previous owners. The work needed to update it will be rewarded hugely by this very special home and garden.

Aerial View and Plot
The location of Siljan is ideal for those wishing for a rural feel but within walking distance of Stock village. With approx 2.5 acres of garden/land it is really the most magical place - it must be viewed to appreciate the entire plot, it is slightly secluded from the road, but walk up to the house and then around the garden, and you would think you were in the middle of nowhere - all you can hear are the birds, as you wander around savouring the trees, shrubs & planting. The garden surrounds the property and then stretches up to a wooded area, which is easy to imagine as a wonderful play area for children and grandchildren alike.

The garden of Siljan is it's crowning glory - the owner lovingly cared for it throughout his entire life (he lived at Siljan from 1952) and by the previous owner for over 40 years. As it wraps around the house, there are so many different ways to enjoy it at any time of the day and for any activity. You can imagine friends round for food, children running around hiding & playing as well as spaces for quiet reflection away from the hustle and bustle of life. The plot is surrounded by mature trees, completely private, approached by a short driveway from Whites Hill.

With a population of around 2000, this friendly community embodies the quintessential English village spirit. The heart of Stock is its historic High Street, lined with traditional timber-framed buildings that have stood for centuries. The architecture reflects the village's rich heritage, offering a glimpse into its past. The village enjoys many events throughout the year - the Stock Flower Festival, Christmas Fayre, Windmill openings, street parties for national celebrations. The Tour of Britain cycle race recently visited the village as part of its route. The pubs and restaurants often hold special evenings with live music and quiz nights.
