Description

A detached four-bedroom house built in 1963, set on a corner plot in a small cul-de-sac close to Stock village centre. The accommodation extends to over 2,600 sq ft across two floors, with a triple-aspect sitting room, a separate formal dining room, and a kitchen adjoining a breakfast room. These ground-floor spaces face the rear garden and could be reconfigured to form a larger kitchen and family area, subject to any required consents. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, along with two loft rooms accessed by permanent ladders. The property is described as well maintained but now requiring modernisation. Its existing garage extension and the size of the plot may offer scope to extend to the rear or above the garage, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents. The grounds extend to approximately a quarter of an acre and include a mainly lawned rear garden, established boundaries, a storage shed and several garages. A second driveway provides access to a third garage. Stock’s village facilities are within walking distance, while Billericay and Ingatestone railway stations and the A12 are a short drive away.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

63out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

A substantial detached home in a quiet Stock cul-de-sac, with generous rooms, a quarter-acre garden and several garage and driveway structures. The asking price is 6.4% below the local average per square foot, giving this light modernisation project a reasonable starting point; the interiors look orderly rather than damaged, with the main opportunity in updating the dated finishes and kitchen.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen and traditional finishes across the spacious, orderly rooms.
  • Make better use of the generous garden with routine clearance and improvement to overgrown edges and paved areas.
  • Explore the stated ground-floor reconfiguration and possible rear or above-garage extension, subject to structural checks and necessary consents.
