Stock village has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most desirable residential settings in the South East.
Offering many qualities to endear it to those searching for the rural idyll of a typical English village including cricket on the green, summer fetes, an ancient beautiful Church, cosy pubs, village shops and a coffee shop which all help to give a strong sense of community.
Whilst Stock may enjoy a rather cosy 'Miss Marple' image, it is far from being stuck in the past with a long list of village based clubs and associations for the young and not so young alike, including drama, Cubs, Scouts, art, photography, gardening, keep fit, yoga and many more, the village even has it's own magazine, 'Stock Press' and website stock.org both of which provide a useful insight of village life, featuring many of the local activities and events - take a look at the web site for yourself.
Greenwoods, former home of the Ellis family (the past landed gentry of the village!) is now a luxury hotel, restaurant and health spa with day membership available to village residents.
The thriving shopping centres of Billericay and Chelmsford are only a short car journey away with Lakeside and Bluewater just a little further. Alternatively, the 100 bus route flows through the village going both these neighbouring towns and beyond.
Commuters are well served by fast rail links to London via Billericay and Ingatestone (Approximately 25-30 minutes each way on the fast train)
