When standing in the beautifully landscaped walled gardens of Compass Green, which measure around 3/4 of an acre (stls), and have clearly benefited from immense care and attention, not to mention investment, by the current Vendors during their occupation, it is hard to believe you are actually at the very heart of the pretty and historic village of Stock, just a short stroll from the many and varied amenities this village has to offer, such is the sense of peace, quiet and seclusion offered.
All of this of course with the stunning backdrop of this historic and beautiful period home, parts of which are thought to date back to the 16th century.
Compass Green offers a most impressive combination of character, style and elegance which has been achieved by loving, painstaking and, needless to say, expensive, efforts by the current owners who have also managed to retain the original period character and 'feel' of this beautiful and substantial family home.
With high ceilings and large sash windows throughout, the accommodation on offer is both spacious, comfortable, welcoming and flexible, with the option of self contained accommodation within the one home, in addition to which there is a large games/ play room which could be put to any number of uses.
Offered in 'show room' condition throughout and with Vacant Possession, this really is a gem set within the heart of the village which truly has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
Location
Stock is a picturesque and charming rural village located in the county of Essex. Nestled amidst rolling green fields and surrounded by idyllic countryside, it exudes a timeless beauty that captivates visitors and residents alike, encouraging country walks and visits to local places of interest. With a population of around 2000, this friendly community embodies the quintessential English village spirit.
The heart of Stock is its historic High Street, lined with traditional timber-framed buildings that have stood for centuries. The architecture reflects the village's rich heritage, offering a glimpse into its past.
The village enjoys many events throughout the year - the Stock Flower Festival, Christmas Fayre, Windmill openings, street parties for national celebrations. The Tour of Britain cycle race recently visited the village as part of its route. The pubs and restaurants often hold special evenings with live music and quiz nights.
Ten minutes from Billericay or Ingatestone Rail Station, or alternatively fifteen minutes from Chelmsford, Stock is perfectly located to enjoy country living with every amenity you need close by. The A12 is five minutes from the village centre.
Stock has four amazing pub restaurants, Greenwoods Spa & Hotel, along with a cafe/bistro, award winning hairdresser and florist (with school for floristry lessons), two village shops, a primary school, library and several churches. Villagers enjoy the many social and sports clubs and there is a strong sense of community. There is Crondon Park Golf Club on the edge of the village that is also a wedding venue.
Stock has its own doctors’ surgery which has a pharmacy inside. It is on the number 300 Bus Route which takes you quickly to either Billericay, Basildon or Chelmsford.
Nearby are extremely good primary and senior schools (see our website for more information) in both Chelmsford, Brentwood & Southend. Stock has both a primary and it's very own Ofsted Outstanding Rated Pre-School too.
