Full Description: STOP THE (STOCK) PRESS!! A very rare opportunity to own and live in an actual piece of history. Forming part of the very foundation of the village, this beautifully presented and impeccably maintained cottage will grab your heart immediately. With its red brick and weatherboard exterior, original natural beams, red brick fireplaces and quirky old features, this is a period property lover’s dream.Smack, bang in the centre of the village, quite literally next door to our award winning pub restaurant, The Hoop, this gorgeous cosy character cottage is perfectly situated to make the very most out of village life. The present owners, since 2016, love the feeling of being an integral part of the village, the sense of community and feeling of belonging. They thoroughly enjoy sitting at their bistro table outside the front enjoying the evening sun and chatting to passers by - you will never feel alone living here and soon know most of the village to say hello to!They love that the house is set back from the road with a pedestrian gravel path to the front, from which you can walk in one direction to the village shops and in the other to the village hall, cricket ground and doctors surgery. If you have packages to collect or drop off, or you’re missing a vital ingredient for dinner it will take you minutes to get to the shop on foot. If you decide to ditch the idea of cooking all together, you have a choice of places to eat out - all in less then five minutes walk away!If you’re looking to venture farther afield, the bus to Chelmsford leaves from across the road and to Billericay, a few hundred feet away. In short, this is a fantastic location to make the most of everything Stock has to offer.To address the very obvious, this is a social setting which you can opt in or out of as much as your lifestyle desires. It really is a uniquely situated home for someone who wants to feel they are part of the village and likes to watch village life go by.Inside, the cottage displays lots of original features and has a light and airy feel being semi open plan. The kitchen is lovely and bright, as is the downstairs shower room with it’s exposed brick wall offering interest and character.
