Dandara Meets Demand for Family Homes at Colchester Development

As more people move out of the city to be closer to family, Essex has become an increasingly popular choice, with Colchester standing out as one of its top locations1. Independent housebuilder Dandara is helping to meet  this demand through its selection of homes at its Oaklands development in Copford, including its ‘The Woburn’ house type. 

The four-bedroom detached house type offers spacious yet convenient living. It features an open-plan kitchen and dining room to the rear of the property with French doors leading to the garden, as well as a front living room, with wooden beam, interior and separate utility space. The first floor offers three double bedrooms and one single, with a separate family bathroom and additional storage provisions. Priced from £500,000, the home also benefits from a single garage, two driveway parking spaces and a private rear garden.  

If reserved before September 30th, the housebuilder is offering buyers with Stamp Duty contributions up to £10,000 on selected plots and upgrade packages worth £10,000, including carpet and Amtico flooring throughout, as well as a shower package. 

Gemma Bannister, Sales Director at Dandara Eastern, commented: “We have seen a real shift towards buyers prioritising family connections when choosing where to live. At Oaklands, many homeowners have moved here to be closer to loved ones, as well as being drawn by the spacious layouts and welcoming community the development has to offer. The Woburn offers the perfect combination of space, comfort, and modern living, making it an ideal choice for families.” 

Only six homes remain at Dandara's Oaklands development, which includes a range of three-, four- and five-bedroom homes priced from £450,000. Currently available are two The Woburn’s house type, with prices starting from £500,000 for the four-bedroom home.  

Other house types include The Frogmore, The Blenheim, The Chartwell and The Kingston. Each home has been carefully designed to offer light-filled, open-plan living spaces and private gardens, creating a welcoming environment where buyers can feel at home right away.
