Dandara's latest launch offers idyllic village living in Essex

Following the success of its Towerlands Park and Millers View development, Dandara is launching its new Essex development, Oaklands off-plan on Friday 19th April 2024. Located in Copford, the new homes will offer close proximity to the village centre and high-quality, thoughtfully designed living spaces.

Consisting of 35 two to five bedroom detached and semi-detached houses, Oaklands features a green open space and allocated play area in the centre of the development, ideal for families moving to the area for the well-regarded schools. 

Gemma Bannister, Head of Sales for Dandara Eastern, added: “Residents at Oaklands will be able to enjoy the charm of village life and the countryside, while still being connected to the thriving Essex towns of Colchester and Chelmsford, with the city of London also within easy reach for commuting.”

“We’re expecting the development to be popular among commuters relocating from the capital, as well as local Essex families looking to stay in the scenic area.”

Paul Copeland, an estate agent from Harris & Wood, commented: “We are finding that a lot of people are moving out from the London suburbs into North Essex after discovering they can find good value for their money and still access all the amenities they need. By relocating from the capital, families can get at least an extra bedroom or two for the same price or better!” 

“As we’re seeing this increase, a more positive attitude can be taken towards the property market as there are lots of options right now for mortgages, with lenders offering two- and five-year fixed rate deals. This competition to offer the best deal means I’d encourage anyone thinking of relocating to take some time and shop around for mortgage products, and that way they know they’re getting the best option available on their dream home.”

The homes at Oaklands benefit from proximity to good schools and easy access to larger towns like Colchester and Chelmsford. Transport links, including road, rail and airport, offer a hassle-free commute into London, while amenities like the Highwoods Country Park and Leisure World Colchester mean families will not have to go far for a day of fun.
