Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Ingatestone, CM4 :

DETACHED 6 bedroom family home in approx 2 acres (STS) of beautifully maintained landscaped gardens which include a heated outdoor pool and various outbuildings. Located along quiet country lane yet within easy reach of the village centre.

Location, location, location!’ we hear it all the time, and if your idea of the ‘perfect’ location is an idyllic country lane setting, not ‘too’ far from the madding crowd but enjoying privacy and seclusion, then we defy you to find a more perfect setting than ‘Pinewood Lodge’ Set back from the peaceful back-water which is Broomwood Lane and surrounded by woodland carpeted with bluebells in spring, you are more likely to hear the clip-clop of horses with their riders or walkers and joggers passing than cars with little to spoil the peace and quiet of this beautiful countryside setting.

Surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens which have obviously benefited from the same level of ‘T.L.C’ as the house itself, each and every room enjoys views of the gorgeous gardens and surrounding woodland which are a delight to the senses whatever the time of year. Within the grounds, which measure approximately 2 acres in all (STS), and include an enclosed paddock with separate entrance, is a stunning open-air heated pool set within a secluded section of the garden surrounded by well established hedging which provides a sheltered ’sun trap’ to make the most of the English Summer complete with a pool house with kitchen area - perfect for ‘Al Fresco’ dining.

Pinewood Lodge offers gracious and spacious accommodation including 6 double bedrooms (2 with en-suite) and 5 reception rooms as well as two utility rooms and a double garage along with workshop and other storage areas.

All in all, a most impressive family home of substance and style enjoying an idyllic setting on the outskirts of this popular and historic village - a combination which rarely becomes available in Stock.

Stock Village

Stock village has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most desirable locations in the south east with many qualities to endear it to those searching for the rural idyll of a typical English village including cricket on the green, summer fetes, an ancient and beautiful Church, cosy pubs, village shops and a strong sense of community - somewhere to belong! Stock has all this and more including a village post office and general store including a newsagent, newly opened library, excellent off licence, hairdresser and an enviable selection of public houses and restaurants as well as a junior school with a reputation for high standards of education, all within walking distance of each other, even a new coffee shop - what more could you ask for?

Whilst Stock may enjoy a rather cosy Miss Marple image, it is far from being stuck in the past with a long list of village based clubs and associations for the young and not so young alike, including drama, Cubs, Scouts, art, photography , gardening, Keep fit, yoga and many more, the village even has its own magazine Stock Press and web site stock.org, both of which provide a useful insight of village life, featuring many local activities and events - take a look at the web site for yourself. Stock is particularly proud of its village hall, built with the help of the local residents; the modern facilities of this excellent community centre are an ideal venue for many of the village activities including social events, exhibitions and special interest markets every month.

Spiritually the village is well catered for with All Saints (Church of England) , Our Lady & St Joseph (Roman Catholic) and Christ Church (Free Church), all close by. Greenwood, former home of the Ellis Family (the past landed gentry of Stock) is now a luxury hotel, restaurant and health spa with day membership available to village residents.

The thriving shopping centres of Billericay and Chelmsford are only a short car journey away with Lakeside and Bluewater just a little further. Commuters are well served by fast rail links to London Liverpool Street (Approximately 25 minutes each way on the fast train). We also have an excellent regular bus service (the 100) running from Chelmsford to Basildon and Lakeside via Billericay with a stop right outside the Billericay railway station. The 100 picks up in the village every 20 minutes or so throughout the week.

We have some of the best secondary schools in the country nearby including Chelmsford High School for Girls and King Edward Grammar for boys, both in Chelmsford. Mayflower Comprehensive in Billericay and the Anglo European in Ingatestone are nearer and a bus collects in the village for the grammar schools in Westcliff on Sea and Southend. No one knows Stock better.

If this information has whetted your appetite for a home in Stock, why not come and see us for yourself, you will always be welcome in any one of the 5 village pubs for a cup of coffee or something a little stronger! Or better still pop in to see us for a cup of coffee! Stock and the pretty villages surrounding it are more than just a place to live, they are somewhere to set down roots for generations!

So, if you are looking for a home in or around Stock, then look no further than M-Estates. Based in Stock, we probably know the village (and villagers!) better than anyone and therefore can bring our local knowledge and experience to bear when it comes to finding you the right property.
