Marigold Lane, Stock, CM4

With Fairfields you get the best of both worlds (or let’s go so far as to say, you get the best of all worlds!). A rural location with peace and tranquility, a large wrap around garden with mature trees surrounding, but all within 10-15 mins walk from the centre of the ever popular Stock village.

The owners have gone to enormous efforts to get even the smallest details correct when they carried out the refurbishment, creating a beautifully fitted kitchen with all the bells and whistles, to adding the fitted drinks cabinet in the open plan living space which has a drinks fridge housed within. Entertaining family and friends would be a dream here at Fairfields, large spacious open plan living means you can live flexibly while enjoying views of the landscaped garden too.

When the owners bought it ten years ago it was a 1940’s modest home which was lacking the flow & useful space a modern family requires - it now has it all and more.

Our Owner says “We especially love the house at Christmas time, we always host and have a big tree in the window”.

The kitchen has bi-folding doors on either side - during the summer months the feeling of space & light overwhelms you, the roof lantern pours light into this stunning area of the house.

There is an integrated SONOS system.

Security intercom with automatic gate connected to mobile phone.

You can start living the moment you move in - the hard work has been done, which leaves you to enjoy the garden, the house & the location!

The Chalmers Team say “The more time you spend in Fairfields the more you love it - what strikes you first is the light - the design of the kitchen and open plan living area, means you have natural sunlight everywhere. Discovering all the extra features in the kitchen is a cook’s dream - nothing has been forgotten - we love this property and can’t wait to see viewers eyes light up”.
