Launceston Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This spacious and versatile two bedroom upper floor is well presented and is located above a small parade of shops on the sought after Little Hill Estate. Conveniently located for a plethora of local amenities including the medical and leisure centres, a wide selection of shops and eateries as well as being in the catchment for the highly regarded Little Hill Primary School, the home will appeal to first time buyers, but-to-let investors (although some improvements would be required to increase the current energy rating) and perhaps those who split their time between Leicester and another location.

The accommodation itself includes an entrance hall, off which, is a useful storage cupboard and doors off to all rooms.

The lounge diner is particularly spacious and is a dual aspect room with windows to both front and side elevations. A focal point to the room is provided by a feature fireplace and there is ample space for both sofas and table and chairs. A handy recess is used by the current owners to accommodate a desk and chair for a working area. A door from the lounge diner opens to an outside balcony where views over the town can be enjoyed as can a glass of something cold in the summer months.

The kitchen is 'L' shaped and has an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll edge work surfaces and a stainless steel sink drainer. There is space for all essential appliances including a cooker, fridge and freezer as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine.

The principal bedroom is the larger of the two and has a window to the rear elevation that overlooks green open space. The main bedroom also benefits from a large built-in cupboard. The second bedroom is a versatile space and could easily be used as a little sitting room, large dressing room or even an office space if not required as a bedroom.

Finally, there is a bathroom which comprises a three piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a storage unit.

To the outside the is an allocated parking space, with further parking available in the car park for the parade of shops. There are no communal gardens but there is an abundance of open space and local parks in close proximity to the flats.

This superb and surprisingly spacious flat is worthy of serious consideration especially for those working with more limited budgets. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
