GENERAL
Oaklands is a country house of considerable character set in mature gardens and grounds extending to approximately 1.5 acres. The house, which is an absolutely idyllic setting, dates from the 1920s and has an interesting history having been built for the Hall family, owners of HJ Socks, who had their factory in Stoke Golding. The accommodation briefly includes three elegant reception rooms, a living kitchen, six double bedrooms, a large attic room and small cellar. Outside, there is a very impressive garage block with workshop attached, which may well have potential to be converted into an annexe, subject to the appropriate consents. The house is bounded on three sides by beautiful gardens with sweeping lawns, specimen trees and pretty well established flowers and herbaceous borders.
