Stock is well positioned just thirty miles away from London, 5.5 miles from the bustling City of Chelmsford, 4.6 miles from Ingatestone (its Mainline Railway Station whizzing you to London in 30 minutes) and under three miles to Billericay Town with its many boutique shops and central Waitrose Store.
