Only one home remains at Dandara’s Oaklands development in Copford – a milestone that marks the near sell-out of one of Essex’s most popular hotspots.
Since launching less than a year ago, Oaklands has seen remarkable demand. Set on the edge of Colchester, Oaklands has proved especially popular with buyers looking for a quieter pace of life within easy reach of the city. The mix of high-quality design, generous green space and strong local schools has made it one of the most sought-after addresses in the area.
The final home, The Blenheim, priced at £800,000, is a five-bedroom detached property designed around flexible family living, with a large open-plan kitchen, dining and family area leading onto the garden through French doors, a separate living room and five spacious bedrooms, two with ensuites. If reserved before 30th November, buyers will benefit from a £10,000 Stamp Duty contribution, plus carpet and Amtico flooring throughout, uplifted landscape to the front and rear garden, a shower package, quartz worktops and window treatments.
Demand for homes in Colchester has risen by over 10% this year, with properties selling around 20% faster than the national average[1]. That growing interest reflects what Dandara has seen on the ground – families continuing to move east for space, value and a stronger sense of community.
Gemma Bannister, Sales Director at Dandara Eastern, said: “It’s always special when a development reaches its final home, and Oaklands is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when great design meets a great location. Ideally located in a charming pocket near Colchester, the development benefits from a village feel yet with quick access to amenities. The Blenheim is the last opportunity to join the thriving community at the development offering a spacious, beautifully designed home that captures everything people love about Oaklands. We’re incredibly proud of what’s been achieved at this development, so if you’re interested, please get in touch with our sales team today.”
Located just four miles from Colchester city centre, Oaklands offers excellent access to the A12 and Colchester station, with regular trains to London Liverpool Street in under an hour.
