Dandara Delivers Five Bedroom Homes in Coveted Essex Village As Detached Demands Soars

Demand for detached homes has surged by 14% since the start of the year, as buyers increasingly seek spacious homes across the UK.[1] Responding to this growing appetite, independent housebuilder Dandara has two five-bedroom homes remaining at its fast-selling Oaklands development in Copford, Colchester.  

As one of the UK’s fastest-growing towns,[2] Colchester offers the perfect blend of modern living and rural charm, known for its strong community feel and access to beautiful countryside. With excellent transport links to Chelmsford and London, top-rated schools and a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants and cultural attractions, the area has become a sought-after location for both families and professionals.

It is no surprise that since launching at the start of the year, Dandara’s Oaklands development has already sold over 50% of its new homes in the Essex hotspot. This exclusive development’s five-bedroom homes present a unique opportunity to secure a spacious property in one of the region’s most desirable areas. 

The Kingston offers equally impressive accommodation, with a front-facing living room and a large open-plan kitchen-dining-family space with French doors to the garden. The first floor includes four double bedrooms and one single, with ensuites to the two largest bedrooms. 

For buyers reserving The Kingston before 30th April, Dandara is offering to pay Stamp Duty in full – representing a saving of over £26,000 on the Home of the Month. 

Gemma Bannister, Sales Director at Dandara Eastern, commented: “We’re seeing a definite shift in what buyers want and it’s clear that detached homes with flexible space and peaceful surroundings are top of the list. The five-bedroom at Oaklands tick all the boxes – space to grow, smart design, great schools nearby and excellent transport connections. With homes like The Kingston, buyers can enjoy generous living areas, private gardens and layouts that cater to modern family life.

“For those looking to upsize, work from home more comfortably or simply enjoy more room to relax, these homes offer the ideal balance of practicality and lifestyle appeal. The development has proven hugely popular since launch and we strongly encourage interested buyers to get in touch soon to avoid missing out on a rare opportunity to join this vibrant and well connected community.
