Plot 1, The Oaks, West Leake
A Lifestyle of Elegance, Sustainability and Modern Comfort

 
A Home Like No Other
Set amidst the rolling Nottinghamshire countryside, in the heart of the characterful village of West Leake bordering Sutton Bonington, lies a rare opportunity: The Oaks. More than just a house, this architect-designed new build has been created as a lifestyle—a seamless marriage of contemporary elegance, eco-conscious design, and the timeless charm of village living.

For those seeking a home that feels both inspiring and grounding, The Oaks offers an extraordinary proposition. Its design philosophy is rooted in craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability. It isn’t simply built to impress; it is built to last, to nurture, and to elevate daily life. Every corner speaks of refinement, every detail tells a story, and every space invites you to live fully, comfortably, and with style.

 
The Setting: A Village Steeped in Character
West Leake is a quintessential English village. Defined by its historic stone cottages, leafy lanes, and a warm, welcoming community, the village offers serenity while still being perfectly positioned for connectivity. Just minutes from Sutton Bonington, with its array of amenities, schools, and conveniences, The Oaks balances the tranquility of rural living with the practicality of accessibility.

A leisurely stroll brings you to The Star Inn, the local pub famed for its food, hospitality, and charm. In Sutton Bonington, daily essentials can be found with ease, while nearby East Leake adds to your shopping options. For broader needs, the vibrant towns of Loughborough and Nottingham are close at hand, offering everything from boutique shopping and fine dining to cultural events and nightlife.

Educational establishments nearby further enhance the village’s appeal. Families will appreciate proximity to Sutton Bonington Primary, East Leake Academy, Nottingham University’s Sutton Bonington Campus, and some of the region’s finest independent schools, including Loughborough Grammar and Ratcliffe College. For professionals, commuters, and frequent travellers, the home is equally well placed: Loughborough Train Station (11 minutes), East Midlands Airport (17 minutes), and access to the M1 motorway network (just 8 minutes away) all ensure excellent connectivity.

The Oaks is not just a home; it is a foundation for a better lifestyle—where village charm, modern convenience, and future-ready design converge.

 
Architecture and Design: Where Luxury Meets Sustainability
Architect-designed with an uncompromising attention to detail, The Oaks exemplifies modern British architecture at its best. Its visual appeal is immediate: striking yet sympathetic to its rural setting. A combination of high-quality brickwork, contemporary aluminium wood-effect cladding, and large expanses of triple-glazed glass strike the perfect balance between modern form and timeless durability.

The use of sustainable materials has been a guiding principle throughout the design. Eco-friendly construction methods ensure not only a reduced carbon footprint but also the comfort and health of those who live within. This is a home designed to inspire confidence—not only in its aesthetics but also in its performance.

At its core, The Oaks is a home that embraces light, space, and nature. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape, blurring the lines between indoors and out. Open-plan living is the heartbeat of the home, but it is the thoughtful zoning of spaces—each flowing seamlessly into the next—that ensures both sociability and privacy, depending on the moment.

 
Inside The Oaks: Spaces to Live, Work and Dream
Four Generous Bedrooms
The Oaks has been created with flexibility in mind. Four spacious bedrooms provide the ultimate retreats. Each is bathed in natural light, designed to calm, and strategically positioned to make the most of the tranquil views over mature gardens and countryside.

The master suite is more than a bedroom—it is a sanctuary. Imagine waking up to the soft glow of morning sun streaming through triple-glazed windows, stepping onto warm underfloor heating, and preparing for the day in a private ensuite that feels closer to a boutique hotel than a traditional family home. The remaining bedrooms continue the theme of generous proportions and peaceful ambiance, offering ample space for children, guests, or even a dedicated home office.

Open-Plan Living Area
At the heart of the home lies its open-plan living area. Designed as the social hub, this space combines lounge, dining, and kitchen zones in one seamless, light-filled environment. Vast windows and sliding doors create an atmosphere that is both airy and intimate, making it equally suited to lively gatherings and quiet evenings.

Whether it’s entertaining family and friends, watching the seasons change beyond the glass, or simply enjoying the warmth of underfloor heating on a winter evening, this is a space designed to adapt to your lifestyle.

Modern Kitchen by Steven Christopher Design
The kitchen is a masterpiece in itself. In partnership with Steven Christopher Design, each home at The Oaks is fitted with a bespoke kitchen that is as practical as it is beautiful. Quartz worktops come as standard, while a range of top-quality appliances from brands such as Bosch or Siemens complete the space.

For culinary enthusiasts, the opportunity to specify built-in appliances, from coffee machines to the latest smart ovens, ensures that the kitchen is tailored to your way of living. For those who prefer to leave it in the capable hands of the developer, a premium finish comes as standard.

This is not just a kitchen; it is the stage for family breakfasts, lively dinner parties, and quiet midnight cups of tea. It is a room where memories will be made as readily as meals.

 
Eco-Friendly Living: Sustainability Without Compromise
The Oaks is a home designed for the future. Its eco-conscious design ensures you can enjoy a luxurious lifestyle while minimising your environmental impact.

Solar Panels (Optional Extra): Harness the power of the sun with a high-efficiency solar system, significantly reducing energy bills and lowering your carbon footprint.
Triple-Glazed Windows & Doors: Exceptional insulation and airtight construction create a comfortable indoor climate year-round, while reducing energy consumption. For those preferring a traditional aesthetic, there is the option for airtight hardwood window units.
Air Source Heat Pump & Underfloor Heating: Providing sustainable warmth throughout the home.
LED Lighting: Energy-efficient, sleek, and future-proof.
Electric Vehicle Charging Point: Every home is equipped with an EV charging point, ensuring readiness for the future of transport.
With these features, The Oaks is expected to achieve an EPC Rating of B, with the potential to achieve A when fitted with solar panels.

This is sustainability at its most stylish—proof that eco-conscious living need not mean compromise.

 
Technology for Modern Living
Modern life demands convenience, efficiency, and peace of mind—all of which are built into The Oaks.

CCTV and Security Alarm as standard provide reassurance that your home is always protected.
Smart Home Ready: With upgrades available for full smart home integration, you can control lighting, heating, and security from your smartphone.
Home Entertainment Options: Choose to include a built-in entertainment system to bring cinematic experiences to your living room.
Technology at The Oaks is not intrusive; it is seamlessly integrated to support and enhance your lifestyle.

 
Outdoor Living: Designed to Inspire
Step outside and you’ll find gardens that are as carefully considered as the home itself. Landscaped with a focus on biodiversity, the gardens feature native plants and wildflowers—spaces that are as beautiful as they are good for the environment.

A spacious patio area invites al fresco dining, summer barbecues, and evening drinks beneath the stars. Mature borders ensure privacy while creating a haven for wildlife. For those who love gardening, this is a canvas to personalise. For those who prefer to simply enjoy, it is a sanctuary ready from day one.

Here, outdoor living is not an afterthought; it is part of the design ethos—another way The Oaks blurs the boundary between house and home, lifestyle and location.
