Irlam Street, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This well presented two bedroom terrace home occupies a plot within a sought after residential area in close proximity to a plethora of local amenities. Supermarkets, eateries, a wide range of shops and services as well as medical and leisure centres are all a short drive away with many of those amenities within walking distance. The home has been significantly improved by the current owners with a number of decorative improvements and the clever addition of an en-suite WC and wash hand basin off the principal bedroom to complement the ground floor bathroom. The home has wide ranging appeal and should be of particular interest to first time buyers, buy-to-let investors and those looking to downsize.

Access to the property is via a composite front door that opens into the first of two reception rooms, with the current owners using the front reception room as a dining space. There is a window to the front elevation and a feature fireplace set onto a central chimney breast. A door from the dining room opens to the lounge via the stairs that rise to the first floor.

The lounge has a window to the rear and again has the focal point of a feature fireplace with a ceramic tiled chimney breast and decorated alcoves with downlights either side. There is also a useful, large understairs storage cupboard. A sliding door leads through to the kitchen.

The kitchen has a range of base and wall mounted units with a roll-edge work surface. The is a further bas unit with stainless steel sink and drainer. There is space for a cooker and plumbing for a washing machine. There is a window to the side elevation and a back door that provides access to the garden. Beyond the kitchen there is a utility area which provides under counter storage and a further wash hand basin that is shared with the ground floor bathroom.

The final room on the ground floor is the bathroom which comprises a bath with mains shower over and a low flush WC.

To the first floor there are two generous double bedrooms both of which benefit from a range of fitted wardrobes. The rear bedroom is used as the principal bedroom and the former over stairs cupboard has been cleverly converted to an en-suite WC with wash hand basin. There is also an airing cupboard that accommodates a combination boiler. The front bedroom is also a generous double room. There is also the potential for the loft to be converted and the electrics and plumbing is already in place should a buyer wish to take up this option subject to planning.

At the rear is a courtyard style garden. Much of the garden is covered by pergola style structure making a pleasant seating area. There is a sink unit and pizza oven ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.
