Barn Close, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This wonderful three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a private plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position on the popular Wigston Harcourt estate. The home is only a short drive or bus ride away from a plethora of amenities including large supermarkets, medical and leisure centres, smaller shops and services as well as an array of eateries. The home itself is very well presented having been very well maintained and cared for by a long-standing owner. Although, in very good order there is still opportunities for buyers to add future value with the plot certainly allowing scope for extension both the side and rear of the property, subject to local planning.

The home is accessed via a front door and on into a porch. which is an addition to the property and as highlighted by the front photograph, not a feature many of the neighbouring homes share. The porch creates useful extra cloakroom space and improves the homes energy efficiency. From the porch, there is an entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and a door through to the lounge and diner.

The lounge diner is generous and is dual aspect with a window to the front elevation and a set of French patio doors the fill the room with plenty of natural light. A focal point of the room is a fantastic feature fireplace which accommodates a living flame gas fire. An open archway leads to the dining area of the room which easily has space for a large table and chairs. A door from the dining room opens to the kitchen.

The kitchen has a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl composite sink and drainer. There is space for all essential appliances include a cooker and fridge as well as plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. A back door from the kitchen provides an alternative access point to the garden. The kitchen could be enlarged by removing the stud wall between the kitchen and dining room to create a kitchen diner if preferred.

The first floor landing has an airing cupboard above the stairs that gives further storage space. There are then doors off to all three bedrooms and the bathroom.

The principal bedroom and the second guest bedroom are both double rooms with both benefitting from fitted wardrobe/cupboard space. The third bedroom is a versatile single bedroom that the current owner uses as an office space.

The bathroom is fully tiled and comprises a classic three piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, a low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home there is a lawned front garden and paved pathway leading to the front door. A driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles and there is secure gated access to the rear.

At the rear is a private and relatively low maintenance garden with timber decked patio seating area. Mature planted borders screen the garden from the neighbours and a timber-built storage shed offers useful storage.

This is a charming family home in an enviable position and has wide ranging appeal. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space and further potential this superb home has to offer.
