Butt Close, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This superb and substantially extended two/three bedroom detached bungalow occupies a charming and private plot within an intimate Cul-de-Sac position. Offered in good decorative order the extension accommodates a fabulous studio space as the previous owners were both artists and used this space accordingly. However, this space has a versatility of use and could be configured in a number of ways. The home is conveniently located for a plethora of local amenities and is only a short drive or bus ride away from large supermarkets, an array of independent shops and eateries and Wigston's leisure and medical centres.

The accommodation is both spacious and flexible and includes a generous porch which in turn leads through to a large entrance hall. Off the entrance hall is a useful cloakroom/storage cupboard and a separate WC. Doors off the entrance hall lead through to the majority of the bungalow's rooms as well as a door through to the double garage.

The home's main lounge is situated toward the front of the home which has a large bay window to the front elevation. An open archway leads through to a formal dining area with a further window to the front and has ample space for a large table and chairs. The lounge itself is well proportioned has a focal point of a feature fireplace with exposed brick surround.

Adjacent to the lounge and dining room is the kitchen. Again, a good size space with a window to the side elevation, the kitchen has an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and one and a half bowl stainless-steel sink drainer. There is an integral gas hob, built-in oven and microwave with under counter space for a fridge and freezer. There is also space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A back door offer access to the side of the bungalow.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room with a window to the rear that overlooks the garden. Not only does the bedroom benefit from a range of fitted wardrobes it also has a modern en-suite shower room which comprises a shower cubicle, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a wall mounted storage unit. The second bedroom is also a double room and again overlooks the garden. It also boasts built-in wardrobe/cupboard space.

The third bedroom was compromised to create, what the owners refer to as a study space and sits open plan to the extension which formed the previously mentioned studio. The study was used as a storage area for their art canvasses but could be used as a work or study space, or even returned to a third bedroom.

The studio is a delightful room largely due to the amount of natural light it lets in thanks to a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden, two further windows to the rear and another window to the side. There are built-in storage units that have drawers and cupboards as well as a Belfast sink. For any aspiring artists professional or amateur this is already a phenomenal space. However, for those that won't require a purpose built studio, this room could become another large reception room, play or games room for younger children or a space to entertain. It is also large enough to split and maybe add yet another bedroom.

Finally, there is a refitted shower room which comprises a three piece suite to include a corner cubicle shower, low flush WC and wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a large block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to the double garage. There is secure gated access to both sides of the home. The walled rear garden wraps around three sides of the property and includes paved patio seating areas, a lawn and well stocked planted borders.

This really is an superb bungalow with wide ranging appeal and large enough to be a family home as well as being of interest to a more typical bungalow demographic. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space and further potential this wonderful home has to offer.
