VENDORS COMMENTS .
Oak Tree House has the advantage of standing in tranquil open countryside but being less than a mile from Hinckley, says Damien. We immediately loved the inviting ambience and unique character of a house that has evolved over two hundred years into a lovely family home which has all the comforts of modern living.
The spacious family room is where we all enjoy social time and is where we cook and relax, it is a happy room, says Sarah. It is L shaped and the morning sun streams in, making it a perfect place for breakfast. In the afternoon the sun has travelled into the other end making it a sunny room all day. Both areas have double patio doors, so it is a summer al fresco breakfast and later an evening glass of wine. We enjoy the room as much in the winter for with the cosy warmth from the Aga, we feel very snug and take pleasure in looking onto the beauty of a landscape dusted with snow.

. .
The main bedroom suite, with its four windows has the same quality of light. We named the house after a great oak tree that stands isolated and dramatic in the centre of a neighbouring field and it is most pleasant at the weekend to sit in bed with a newspaper and a cup of tea, to have this stunning scene laid out before you. Its totally relaxing, says Damian. The study is another favourite for with its log wood burner it is a perfect winter snug. The generous space of the house lends itself to entertaining and the family congregates here for Christmas and birthday celebrations. The house is at its best when it is ringing with chatter and laughter.
The four acres of garden are mainly laid to lawn and we get a good harvest from the five apple trees and a small vegetable patch, says Sarah. There is an oasis of calm to be found by the pond and it is lovely to look at the horses grazing in the fields beyond the garden. Hinckley has everything you need in a town and there are excellent state and private schools in the area. The commuter can catch a London train from either nearby Nuneaton or Leicester and the East Midland and Birmingham airports are both only a thirty minute drive. We shall greatly miss the landscape we have been a part of, our favourite tow path walk to Stoke Golding village but most of all the space of Oak House and its warm family atmosphere.
