Rose Cottage, 55 Oakmead Road, St. Osyth, Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, CO16 8NW

This auction property presents a unique investment opportunity in the form of a detached timber roughcast bungalow, set on a substantial plot of approximately 320.86 m² (3,454 ft²). With minor renovations, this one-bedroom bungalow is poised for use as a Buy to Let investment. However, its true potential lies in redevelopment, as previous planning permission was granted for the construction of a four-bedroom detached house. The plot dimensions—38 metres (125 ft) deep and 8.5 metres (28 ft) wide—allow for various development possibilities, including the erection of a larger dwelling of standard construction. An established framework exists for successful planning applications, with prior approval noted for the demolition and replacement with a two-storey house. Key utilities such as gas, water, and electricity are already connected, offering a pragmatic starting point for prospective buyers looking to realize both immediate returns or long-term value appreciation.
