Description

Situated on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Stock in Essex, this impressive, individually designed property offers a superb combination of contemporary living, generous accommodation and a beautiful rural setting. Newly built in 2018, the property occupies an enviable plot of approximately one acre, providing extensive gardens, ample parking and a detached double garage, together with the added benefit of a self-contained one-bedroom annex.

The main residence offers versatile and spacious accommodation throughout, making it ideal for modern family life, multi-generational living or those seeking additional space to work from home. Further peace of mind is provided by the remaining two years of the NHBC warranty.

On the ground floor, the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with doors opening directly onto the rear patio and offering a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. A separate utility room provides practical convenience, while the spacious living room offers an inviting setting in which to relax.

Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a versatile playroom or potential bedroom, alongside a dedicated office which could equally serve as a second reception room. A luxurious family bathroom completes the ground floor, featuring both a bath and a separate shower.

The first floor continues to impress, with a generous principal bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom and a large private balcony overlooking the beautiful rear garden. This elevated outdoor space provides the perfect spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Two further bedrooms and a contemporary shower room complete the first-floor accommodation.

Designed with energy efficiency and comfort in mind, the property benefits from an air-source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

Outside, the property occupies a generous plot of approximately one acre, offering an attractive combination of landscaped garden areas and extensive outdoor space. The rear patio provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, while the surrounding gardens offer considerable appeal for families, gardening enthusiasts and those seeking a more tranquil lifestyle.

The detached double garage provides secure vehicle storage and additional potential for hobbies or storage, subject to requirements. To the front, a gated driveway offers ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, creating an attractive and private approach to the property.

A further highlight is the separate one-bedroom annex, offering excellent flexibility for extended family, independent guest accommodation or potential home-working arrangements, subject to any necessary consents.

Combining modern construction, flexible living accommodation, substantial outdoor space and a highly desirable village-edge position, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of contemporary country living within easy reach of the local amenities.
