Brailsford Road, Wigston, LE18

This substantially extended four double bedroom detached family home occupies a corner plot at the head of a sought after Cul-de-Sac position. The plot backs onto local allotments which means there is a pleasant view from the rear bedrooms and guarantees nothing overlooking you to the rear. The home is conveniently located for a wide range of local amenities including schools and commuter links in and out of the city. The home is offered with no upward chain and although some cosmetic updating maybe required the property is largely a blank canvass ready for any potential buyers to make their mark. The property has been extended in two main ways. Firstly, a single storey extension to the side creating a large reception room and secondly over the garage enlarging the third bedroom and creating a fourth.

The accommodation itself includes an entrance porch which not only offers access into the main entrance hall but also gives access to the rear via a covered passageway between the main house and the garage.

The entrance hall has stairs rising to the first floor and also has a large and useful cloakroom/storage cupboard. A door then leads through to the first reception room. Prior to extension this space would have been used as a living room but it could be used as a snug or formal dining space. There is a window to the front elevation and a door through to the kitchen.

The kitchen has a range of base and wall mounted units with timber effect laminate work surfaces and one and a half bowl sink drainer. there is space for all essential appliances including a cooker, fridge and freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. There is also space for a small table and chairs. A door leads out to the side access behind the garage, where there is an undecorated utility area with space for a tumble dryer. There is also a refitted ground floor WC again situated behind the garage.

At the other end of the kitchen another door leads through to the extended main lounge which has sliding patio doors opening to a large conservatory and an open archway that leads through to a separate little area that could be used as an office or study space.

The conservatory provides further versatility to the home giving it another reception space with French doors that open to the garden.

To the first floor, there are four well proportioned double rooms. The principal bedroom has a window to the front elevation and benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors. Bedroom two overlooks the rear. The third bedroom, which was the original box room has been enlarged through extension and the fourth bedroom again benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes.

In addition, there is also a first floor wet room that could relatively straightforwardly be turned back into a family bathroom or shower room.

To the front of the home a large block paved driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles as well as direct car access to the garage. At the rear is a private garden that wraps around two sides of the home.

Although a little attention will be needed, the potential and space this property has is fantastic. Internal viewing is highly advised to truly appreciate what this home has to offer.
