Lilystone Close, Stock, CM4

No. 2 Lilystone Close is a rare and stunning property - situated within a small close of four properties, it offers character, handsome looks along with high standard finishes. It even has it’s own clock tower. It was originally used for Lilystone Hall’s servants’ accommodation, built in 1800’s but rebuilt in 1970.

As you enter through the very elegant double front doors, you are struck by the quality of the property - the owners have made many improvements during their time living in Lilystone Close. The kitchen was fitted three years ago, and has all the essential Neff applicances. It is modern, light and bright which compliments the many period features throughout the rest of the property.

The internal doors which are studded batten doors with thumb latches are particularly striking. The stair case has a beautiful runner carpet with stair rods.

You don’t see many Chubb safes in reception rooms but this one will definitely be a talking point with visitors.

No. 2 will be cool in the summer and snuggly in the winter - especially once the beautiful log burner is lit.

Entertaining will be easy with the large kitchen and even larger garden - it’s rare to find such a special outside area in a property of this size. Each side has mature trees, all you can hear is bird song and you feel like you are in the middle of the country.

If you are looking for a home office, gym or hobby room, you will not be disappointed by the building at the bottom of the garden!

No. 2 offers many things, privacy and seclusion but with a few neighbours for a feeling of security, character and modern, rural but close to amenities - you’ll find it hard not to be wowed by this gem.
