Thanks for the responses you have been a great help. Only recently moved to the new house and was curious as to what the tree was among what I think are some conifers planted by the previous owners. I have also found today another one growing about 2 meters away. It looks like it has a different leaf structure however I could be wrong! We live behind a small belt of trees but I don’t see any tree that resembles the same leaf/ oak tree. Thanks, Aidan
That is another Oak seedling with the stone beside it Aidan - not a conifer The stem in your very first picture is hard to indentify. At a quick glance I would say its an Ash seedling because of the green apearance but I would like to see if there are any leaves attached to it higher up that stem.

You're quite right Dove and Ladybird, I was looking at the bigger reddish trunk behind the smaller plant with the oak like leaves - apologies all round.
