4 bed detached house for sale

Stock Road, Stock CM4

Willow Brook is a rare find in Essex - it has a semi-rural feel, completely hidden away and so peaceful and quiet, but within minutes of Stock Village and ten minute’s drive to either Billericay or Ingatestone train station (25 mins direct to London).

It is perfect for families looking for a different way of living to the normal world filled with electronic devices, distractions and noise - Willow Brook is about enjoying all that the natural world has to offer, the fun of running about with bare feet in the grass, playing rounders with family and friends in the summer, barbeques watching the sun go down and much much more wholesome fun, which can sometimes be lacking in our busy worlds. The changing seasons can be viewed easily from every window.

Built by its current owners in 2012, it is obvious to see the care and attention to detail they have put into the house and garden. Finished to a high specification it includes underfloor heating through both floors to the main house, a concrete floor between the ground and first floor, to reduce noise. Beautiful limestone floors throughout the ground floor, with engineered oak floors upstairs. With a Sonos sound system throughout the main house, outbuilding and patio area.

The accommodation spreads over the main house, the annexe/outbuilding (easily used for many purposes) and the potential to change the barn’s use with the appropriate planning permission.

Team Chalmers love Willow Brook for its laid back elegance, warm welcoming feel and the fact that you feel you are away from the hustle and bustle of life.
