Oakes Farmhouse

Oakes Farmhouse is an early 19th-century house located on Oaks Road in Charley, Charnwood. The building is constructed from granite rubble with brick dressings and features a Swithland slate roof on the taller right-hand section, while the left side has a tiled roof. The taller section is two storeys high with an attic and has two bays, presenting a double-fronted appearance. The eaves are cogged, and the windows are three-light wooden casements with horizontal glazing bars and cambered brick heads. The central entrance has a 20th-century door with a semi-circular radiating fanlight and a blind window panel above. Attic casements are located in the gables, and there are brick chimneys at both ends.

To the left, there is a lower two-storey range with three bays. This section also features three-light barred wooden windows, primarily casements, but with horizontal sashes on the right side of the first floor. The ground floor right window has been replaced in the 20th century without glazing bars. Each bay on the left has a board door, with the outer doors having two-light windows above. Additionally, there are two stable bays at the left end of the building.
