Kilby Bridge Cottage, Welford Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This charming and deceptively spacious two double bedroom semi-detached cottage occupies a private plot and is offered in fantastic decorative condition having been significantly improved by the current owners. Conveniently located for a wide range of local amenities, including the canal side Navigation Inn Public House, the home has a wide ranging appeal.

The accommodation has been sympathetically refurbished so the cottage retains a number of character features as well as benefitting from some modern finishes.

The property comprises a lounge with feature wood burner and a window to the front elevation. There is a second reception space in the form of a snug which also has a window to the front. There is a generous refitted breakfast kitchen, which has a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with timber work surfaces accentuating the rustic cottage feel. There is an integral ceramic hob and built-in electric oven as well as space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine.

Also on the ground floor is a refitted bathroom comprising a three piece suite including a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin.

To the first floor there are two generous double bedrooms both of which benefit from either fitted wardrobes and/or built-in cupboard space. The current owners have also cleverly added a toilet off the first floor landing in order to avoid the trip downstairs in the middle of the night.

To the front of the home a driveway has been created in order to provide the home with a useful off-road parking space. At the rear outside is a delightful walled courtyard style garden that wraps around the rear and side of the home.

Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate this wonderful cottage and the superb job the current owners have done in refurbishing it throughout.
