A rare half-acre self-build plot on the Ardleigh/Dedham border, with full planning permission for a single-storey, one-bedroom barn-style dwelling. The site sits just outside the Dedham Vale AONB and is positioned centrally within the plot, offering space for a generous garden and private setting. Planning is granted under Tendring District Council application 2400035/FUL (Barn A).
This opportunity suits someone seeking a rural retreat or a small, low-maintenance home close to countryside walking and water features. The plot is freehold with good frontage and direct access from Hunters Chase. Local connectivity is strong for a rural location — fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby Manningtree station for rail links to Colchester, Ipswich and London.
Buyers should note the existing barn must be demolished to implement the approved scheme and the sale is subject to survey. Construction and service-connection costs are not included and will be significant elements of any budget. Local amenities are limited in the immediate hamlet; purchasers should be comfortable with a rural lifestyle and travel for many services.
This is a straightforward planning-backed project for a single-storey rural home in an affluent, established farming area. It will suit downsizers, countryside lovers, or an investor seeking a modest new-build cottage with strong location appeal close to the Dedham Vale AONB.
