Oak House is one of 3 remaining red brick flat-roof type blocks in original condition on the estate, apart from recent double glazing which replaced the original Crittall windows (one flat on the 3rd floor at the nearest end of the block has retained them). All the other blocks of this type had an extra level of flats built on top with lead cladding & pitched roofing. The first blocks were so modified in 1990 by Laing building contractors; the remaining blocks including Foskett House and Vane House were modified by Higgins contractors in 1993-1994. All the flat-roof blocks were built after the Second World War between 1946-1951; the earliest blocks were built in 1938 and are of brown brick/pitched roof construction.
