Living Here - Since being built in the seventies, Drackedons has been the beloved home of two families. The first family built it and lived in it for almost three decades, and we've been here for another two. It's been an idyllic place for my children to grow up. I've spent hours watching from the kitchen windows as they've played and explored, running up and down the garden between trees and down to the stream. Whatever the weather, the garden has always provided entertainment. One of the most-used spaces at Drackedons in our time has been the workshop towards the bottom of the garden. Before our time it was a stable, and still has the old stable door. But in our time it was many things, including a workshop and a party space for children and adults. With its own little wood burner and big windows into the garden and fields, it's a very special spot. One of the best things are the views, from all four directions. The house is the last one on the lane, and therefore has sweeping views over the surrounding fields. Being able to see the sun set over the fields and rise over the stream at the end of the garden through the mist is a beautiful site from the kitchen counter. The annexe has had a variety of uses in our time, providing extra space for family and friends. My family have made use of nearby amenities in both Gilmorton and Lutterworth, where we've benefitted from schools, leisure centres, shops, pubs, and anything else we've needed.
