7 Bedroom Detached House, Birch Lane, Stock, CM4
Birch Lane, Stock, CM4

38 High Street, Stock
Description
23 Birch Lane is a large family home, that has been loved and enjoyed for 17 years by the current owner. Approached via a private lane, you wouldn’t know it was there, but still only a couple of minutes walk to the centre of the village of Stock. The walled garden also adds privacy and character.
The downstairs living areas are large and airy, with views over open countryside to give that rural feel. The garden wraps around the property, with several different areas to be enjoyed at various times during the day. This is a home that encourages entertaining and special times with family and friends, especially during the summer months - the swimming pool with summer house bar makes it easy, although there’s a chance your guests won’t want to leave! But of course, with seven bedrooms overnight guests wouldn’t be an issue.
Big floor to ceiling windows at the front of the property make this house bright & light, the attractive oak porch and weatherboard cladding provide a handsome frontage.
This property gives you the square footage to grow as a family but also provides the opportunity to put your own stamp on it, and if you wished to reduce the number of bedrooms, they have stud walls so no major building works would be required to get the exact set up you need.
Stock is a picturesque and charming rural village located in the county of Essex. Nestled amidst rolling green fields and surrounded by idyllic countryside, it exudes a timeless beauty that captivates visitors and residents alike, encouraging country walks and visits to local places of interest. 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.
"When you buy in Stock, you are buying much more than bricks & mortar"
Ten minutes from Billericay or Ingatestone Rail Station, or alternatively fifteen minutes from Chelmsford, Stock is perfectly located to enjoy country living with every amenity you need close by. The A12 is five minutes from the village centre.
Stock has four amazing pub restaurants, Greenwoods Spa & Hotel, along with a cafe/bistro, award winning hairdresser and florist (with school for floristry lessons), two village shops, a primary school, library and several churches. Villagers enjoy the many social and sports clubs and there is a strong sense of community. There is Crondon Park Golf Club on the edge of the village that is also a wedding venue.
Stock has its own doctors’ surgery which has a pharmacy inside. It is on the number 300 Bus Route which takes you quickly to either Billericay, Basildon or Chelmsford.
Nearby are extremely good primary and senior schools (see our website for more information) in both Chelmsford, Brentwood & Southend. Stock has both a primary and its very own Ofsted Outstanding Rated Pre-School too.
