Swan Lane, Stock, Ingatestone

Guide Price £900,000 – £925,000 Set in an idyllic country lane location between Stock village (0.5 mile) and Margaretting Tye (1 mile) is the charming three bedroom semi-detached period cottage, blending olde world character with a contemporary ‘barn-style’ extension. The original redbrick cottage retains many period features, with a traditional two up, two down configuration; the cosy sitting room and study sub-divided by a central fireplace and woodburner. Above are two cottage style bedrooms, one have a range of fitted wardrobes and period style fireplace, with panoramic country views from the dual-aspect windows. The comprehensively fitted kitchen/dining room connects the original cottage to the newer extension. With integrated appliances, solid wood worktops and underfloor heating, which continues into the double storey extension.

The ‘barn-style’ extension has contracting shiplap boarding and contains a surprisingly spacious lounge with an Inglenook style fireplace and wood burner, with bi-folding doors facing south across the gardens. There is a stylish bath/wet room with a built-in utility cupboard with further storage cupboards in the lobby. A second independent staircase takes you up to the large main bedroom offering ample space and great views from the picture window. There is also the convenience of a tiled en-suite shower room.

The exterior is a delight, with a traditional cobbled stone driveway and path, leading through a planted arbour, overlooking the lawned gardens. A lock up garage (16 x 15’2) and carport provides additional parking, and tucked away to the rear is a charming converted shepherds hut with bed/sitting room and kitchenette, and a shower room. A further secluded garden area overlooks the farmland and adjacent woods with footpaths right on your doorstep.
