About
A four-bedroom main house, two self-contained annexes and over 4,000 sqf of versatile accommodation.
Situated on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Stock, Hillcrest Farm is a substantial and unusually versatile property offering far more than a conventional seven-bedroom home.
The accommodation is arranged as a four-bedroom main residence together with two separate annexes, providing a combination of space and flexibility that will suit a wide range of buyers.
Whether you are looking for multi-generational living, space for dependent relatives, somewhere for older children to have their own independence, accommodation for guests or simply additional space that can be used in different ways, this property gives you plenty of options.
There is also potential to explore short-term rental or Airbnb-style use, subject to any necessary permissions.
The main house The main house provides a welcoming entrance hall with downstairs WC, leading through to a large sitting room with log burner, separate dining room and a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, granite worktops and breakfast bar, together with a selection of integrated and freestanding appliances which are included in the sale.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.
There is also a family bathroom with both a bath and separate walk-in shower, along with useful landing and eaves storage.
Annexe one The first annexe provides particularly generous independent accommodation and could work exceptionally well for a dependent relative, family member or as additional living space.
The ground floor offers a large open-plan kitchen, breakfast and sitting area with bi-folding doors opening onto the garden, together with a double bedroom and wet-room style en-suite.
The kitchen is well equipped and the annexe has its own independent access from the driveway.
Upstairs is a further bedroom with storage and its own bathroom, creating a genuinely self-contained space rather than simply an additional bedroom within the main house.
Annexe two The second annexe provides another completely separate area of accommodation, with its own sitting and dining area leading through to a conservatory.
There is a fitted kitchen, utility/porch, independent entrance, good-sized bedroom with built-in wardrobes and separate bathroom.
This annexe also has its own heating system and boiler, which was replaced in 2023.
Outside The property is approached via a gated gravel driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, making it well suited to a home with several occupants or visitors.
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with a mature willow tree, while the rear garden has been arranged into several different areas, including a summer house with its own electricity and heating, vegetable garden and separate garden areas serving the annexes.
Further benefits The property also benefits from air source heating and solar panels, helping to reduce running costs, while the majority of the windows were replaced approximately two years ago.
Location Hillcrest Farm is positioned on the outskirts of the popular village of Stock, giving you the benefit of a semi-rural setting while remaining within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.
The Ship public house is within walking distance, while a nearby bus stop provides local and school services.
There is also convenient access to the A12, making the property well placed for commuting and access to surrounding towns. In short, this is not simply a seven-bedroom house.
It is a substantial main residence with two additional self-contained homes, offering over 4,000 sq ft of accommodation and an exceptional degree of flexibility.
For those looking for space, independence and genuine multi-generational potential, Hillcrest Farm is well worth a closer look.
