Project's Overview

We bring to your attention an attractive investment project — the construction of a cottage in the prestigious village of Great Holland, located in Essex county, East Anglia. Full planning permission for the erection of a new detached three-bedroom cottage has already been obtained! The expected value of the completed property (GDV) is approximately £375,000, making it an excellent opportunity for investors focused on the UK residential real estate market.

The plot is located on Rectory Road, close to the junction with Manor Road. The village of Great Holland combines the tranquility of rural life with convenient access to infrastructure. It is situated 2 miles (approximately 3 km) west of the coastal town of Frinton-on-Sea, 14 miles (about 22 km) east of the major city of Colchester, approximately 30 miles (about 48 km) from Ipswich, and 63 miles (approximately 101 km) northeast of London. This location provides a balance between seclusion and proximity to urban centers, with convenient transport links via major roads such as the B1032.

Detailed Description

The plot is a clean, level site, ideally suited for the implementation of a project to build a detached three-bedroom cottage. Due to its location in the prestigious village of Great Holland, the property is in high demand among those seeking comfort away from the urban hustle. Proximity to major roads ensures convenient access to nearby towns and services.

In the village of Great Holland itself, there are basic amenities: a grocery store with a post office (Village Stores/Post Office), a farm shop with a tea room and pick-your-own fruit options (Park Fruit Farm), the pub The Ship Inn for relaxation and socializing. There is also a village hall (Village Hall) used for sports activities, meetings, and events, two churches (All Saints’ Church and Methodist Church) with social events, as well as the Great Holland Pits Nature Reserve for walks and wildlife observation. Sports fields and play areas are available for children, though they require some improvement.

For a wider range of services, residents turn to nearby settlements. In Frinton-on-Sea and the adjacent Holland-on-Sea (approximately 3-4 km away, 2 miles), there are additional shops, independent boutiques, supermarkets, a primary school, medical facilities (doctors and dentists), hotels, guest houses, and several pubs. The transport infrastructure includes bus routes connecting to Frinton-on-Sea and other areas, although most residents prefer personal vehicles for trips to schools, doctors, or shopping. The nearest railway stations in Frinton-on-Sea and Clacton-on-Sea provide connections to Colchester and London.

The project involves the construction of a modern detached cottage that will harmoniously blend into the surrounding environment. This is an excellent opportunity for investors to implement a high-yield development: from acquiring the plot to completing construction and subsequent sale or rental. The expected market value of the completed property at £375,000 highlights the profit potential, given the growing interest in real estate in coastal and suburban areas of the UK.
