Tranquility beckons
Nestled directly in front of the fairways of Upton Golf Course, or rather more specifically, the 18th green, No. 3, The Oaks Drive is discovered along a private road leading to only four homes in total.

Pull onto the driveway, where there is ample parking for several cars, alongside a garage\t.

Sense the peace and tranquility of the setting instantly, making your way indoors to the wow-factor entrance hall, where immediately the scope of the home can be felt, as views beckon through to the kitchen and private garden beyond.

Stone flooring flows out underfoot, with light, contemporary shades to the walls and grey carpet on the glass-balustrade staircase which rises up ahead.

Warmth and welcome
Light floods into the lounge, through the first door on the left, via a broad bay window with sparkling granite sills , offering open, unrestricted views out to the golf course. A gas fire imbues warmth from within its ornate surround. Currently covered over, there is potential to reinstate an open fire or log burner in the future in the chimney breasts of several of the rooms.

Next door on the left, discover a versatile reception room. Evolving over the years, in tune to the current owners' family needs, it has served as a 'dry' playroom, dining room and now as a games room. Decorated in muted shades, with wooden flooring underfoot, there is ample space for a 12-seater dining table.

Versatile living
Opening up beyond, make your way through to the conservatory; another flexible room, once used as a 'wet' playroom (with access out to the garden) and now set up as a gym. Another spacious, light and bright entertaining space, this room could also serve as a dining room - with direct access through to the kitchen.

Also accessible from the hallway, relish the spaciousness, light and airy ambience of this sociable hub of the home.

With ample space for sofas in addition to a dining table, light streams in through two sets of French doors which open to the terrace at the rear, where the garden serves as a sunny extension of the entertaining space within.

Bestowing the limelight to the glorious garden views, the sleek, touch open, handleless cabinetry serves the kitchen, encompassing an array of fitted appliances including fridge, freezer brand new dishwasher, Range cooker and instant boiling hot water tap.
