Bramcote Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This extended and well loved three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies an attractive plot within a sought after residential area. Offered with no upward chain the home is in close proximity to a wide range of local amenities that includes supermarkets, a plethora of shops and eateries as well as medical and leisure centres. It is also well positioned for commuters with excellent road links into the city of Leicester as well as towns such as Market Harborough. The home, although well maintained, would benefit from some modernisation throughout with the extension to the rear accommodating a larger dining room.

The home itself includes a spacious entrance hall that boasts a wonderful original Parquet flooring, stairs rising to the first floor and a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Doors from the entrance hall lead through to the kitchen and the lounge.

The lounge is spacious with a bay window to the front elevation that lets in plenty of natural light. The focal point of the room is provided by a feature fireplace set onto the angled chimney breast so commonly found in these Jelson built semi-detached homes on the Wigston Fields estate. What is less common is the fact the lounge is closed off from the dining area by a partitioning wall that has a frosted glass window.

The kitchen is likely to be updated by many buyers but is certainly functional and comprises a range of base and wall mounted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless steel sink and drainer. There is space for a cooker, fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. There is a window that overlooks the garden and a back door that offers access to a covered car port to the side of the home. A further door opens to the extended dining room.

The extension to the dining room makes a noticeable difference to the normal size of the room. A large window to rear looks out to the garden and there is ample room for a large table and chairs. The dining room does offer the potential to be knocked through into the kitchen to create a larger kitchen diner if preferred.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the property. A generous double room with a bay window, the bedroom also benefits from a range of built-in wardrobe space. In fact all three bedrooms enjoy some form of built-in wardrobe/storage space. The second bedroom is also a double room which overlooks the garden and the third bedroom which is a versatile single room could be used as an office or dressing room if not required as a bedroom.

Finally, on the first floor is a family bathroom which comprises a three piece suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and a pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a paved driveway provides off-road parking and could be made larger to accommodate more vehicles. Secure side gates lead to a covered car port to the side and beyond that to a detached garage and workshop located toward the rear.
