PlotDescription
A self-build plot of approximately half an acre, subject to survey, is offered at the rear of 5 Hunters Chase in Ardleigh. Full planning permission is stated to have been granted for demolition of the existing barn and construction of a detached, single-storey three-bedroom home in a barn-style design. The proposed dwelling is positioned centrally within the plot, which has frontage and access onto Hunters Chase. Buyers should consult the architect's drawings and Tendring District Council planning information for the approved scheme and its requirements.
Ardleigh is around four miles northeast of Colchester and approximately three miles from Manningtree station, with rail links to Colchester, Ipswich, London Liverpool Street and Norwich. The opportunity is to acquire a rural self-build project near the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

39out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
The standout here is the chance to build a three-bedroom, single-storey home in a roughly half-acre rural setting near Dedham Vale, with full planning permission stated for a barn-style design. The proposed access, parking and landscaping give a starting point for shaping the site, while the open plot offers scope to create the finished home and grounds to your own specification. The aerial images show scrub, uneven grass and scattered material; the house itself is represented by drawings rather than photographs, so the work is a new-build project rather than an interior renovation. Verify the permission, its conditions and implementation requirements. With no floor area available, value versus local £/sq ft cannot be judged yet.
Key opportunities
- Create a new three-bedroom, single-storey barn-style home to the approved design, with scope to shape the interior and finishes.
- Develop the substantial open plot, including the proposed access, parking and landscaping, into a coherent rural setting.
Key risks
- This is a new-build programme, not a cosmetic refresh: allow for the full build, site preparation and clearance of scattered material, with costs and timescales to establish from the approved plans and site requirements.
