Stock is one of Essex’s most sought-after villages — known for its rural setting, generous plots and a mix of traditional and contemporary homes. It’s a place where good design matters, and where thoughtful architecture can genuinely enhance the way people live.

At Studio 40, we work with homeowners in Stock and the surrounding villages, helping them unlock the potential of their homes through carefully considered design. Whether it’s a home extension, full refurbishment or new build, our focus is always the same: creating spaces that feel calm, functional and built to last.

We regularly work across Stock, Billericay, Shenfield and Brentwood, which means we understand the local planning context, the character of the area, and the expectations that come with designing homes in this part of Essex.

Our approach is simple. We listen carefully, test ideas thoroughly, and guide you through the process from first sketch to completion. We place a strong emphasis on natural light, spatial flow and sustainability, helping to create homes that not only look good, but perform well over time.

If you’re considering a project in Stock — whether extending, reworking or starting again — we’d be happy to help you explore what’s possible.
