Detached house for sale in Compass Green 27 High Street, Stock, Essex. CM4

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.
