A rare 10-acre (stls) freehold plot set at the end of a private driveway in Little Horkesley, offering significant development potential. The site benefits from Class Q permission to convert a 3,500 sqft barn plus further annexes and outbuildings, and current permitted development consent for five units. There is also scope for a substantial self-build country home and additional outbuildings, subject to planning (stpp). The site includes a one-acre carp lake and established, private grounds in an affluent, low-crime rural setting.
Positioned within an established farming community yet close to Colchester, the plot combines seclusion with convenience. Colchester provides direct rail links to London (approx. 50 minutes to Liverpool Street), major road connections and strong local schools, including outstanding and ‘top 10%’ options. Broadband speeds are fast and flood risk is reported as none; mobile signal is average.
This opportunity suits investors and experienced self-builders seeking a large rural parcel with immediate conversion consent and further upside. Buyers should note that additional works, servicing and planning for supplementary buildings will be required; costs and approvals for conversions and new builds should be allowed for in any offer. Further land is available by separate negotiation and plans/details are available on request.
