Construction of a house in Point Clear Bay, St Osyth, United Kingdom

We are pleased to present an attractive investment project — the construction of a detached two-bedroom house in the prestigious Point Clear Bay area, located in Essex County, East Anglia. This project focuses on a full development cycle: from acquiring the plot with permission to build a new house, through to completion of construction and subsequent sale or rental of the finished property. The expected value of the completed house (GDV) is estimated at £325,000, making it an excellent opportunity for investors targeting the UK residential property market.

The project is situated in a secluded location at Point Clear Bay, offering stunning views over the salt marshes, Brightlingsea Creek, Brightlingsea Harbour, and the western part of the Bay estate towards Mersea Island. This tranquil coastal spot combines natural beauty with convenient access to infrastructure. Point Clear Bay is approximately 2.5 miles (about 4 km) from the historic village of St Osyth, a 10-minute walk along the promenade to a sandy beach and the ferry to Brightlingsea, 14 miles (about 22 km) south of the major town of Colchester, roughly 30 miles (about 48 km) southwest of Ipswich, and 70 miles (approximately 113 km) northeast of London. This location provides a perfect balance between seclusion and proximity to urban centres, with convenient transport links via major roads and bus routes.

Detailed Description

The project involves demolishing the existing structure and building a new detached two-bedroom, one-bathroom house. The plot measures approximately 50 feet in width and 113 feet in depth, with a total area of about 0.1 acres. The land is divided into three plots under two titles, all included in the project. Thanks to its elevated position in Point Clear Bay, the house will offer breathtaking views over Brightlingsea Creek and the surrounding nature, making it highly desirable for those seeking coastal living comfort. This is a rare investment opportunity, as the plot has been on the market for the first time since 1958.

The Point Clear Bay area offers local amenities including beaches, coastal walks abundant with wildlife, and a ferry to Brightlingsea. Nearby holiday parks such as St Osyth Beach & Martello Beach Holiday Park provide an indoor pool, family bar, restaurant, playgrounds, climbing wall, and arcade. For shopping and services, residents use the village of St Osyth (2.5 miles away), which features the St Osyth Sunday Market, grocery stores, pubs, St Osyth Church of England Primary School, medical practices, and additional facilities. A wider range of services is available in Brightlingsea (via ferry), with supermarkets, boutiques, schools, and doctors, or in Colchester, which offers full urban amenities.

Transport infrastructure includes bus routes such as 6 (Clacton-on-Sea to Point Clear) and C3 (Point Clear to Brightlingsea), connecting to neighbouring areas. The nearest railway stations in Clacton-on-Sea and Colchester provide access to London and other cities. Most residents prefer personal vehicles for daily travel.

The investment project involves building a modern detached house that will harmoniously blend with the surrounding environment. The focus is on the full cycle: from site preparation and construction to subsequent sale or rental. The expected market value of the completed property at £325,000 highlights the profit potential, given the growing interest in coastal property in the UK.
