Britford Avenue, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This very well presented two bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupies a pleasant South facing plot on the periphery of the sought after Little Hill estate. The plot is actually slightly larger than the immediate neighbour something quite noticeable when looking out over the garden. Offered with no upward chain the bungalow is very well presented throughout having been recently refurbished and redecorated by the executors of the estate in preparation for marketing. This refurbishment included the addition of a newly fitted boiler and central heating system, with the boiler still under warranty. The bungalow is conveniently located for all of Wigston's array of amenities including large supermarkets, a wide selection of smaller shops, services and eateries as well as both leisure and medical centres.

The accommodation itself includes an entrance hall, off which, is a useful storage/cloakroom cupboard. the first door on the right hand side of the hallway leads through to the kitchen diner.

The kitchen diner is a dual aspect room with windows to both front and side elevations. The kitchen area includes an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink drainer. There is space for a cooker, although the executors have no plan to remove the cooker currently in place. There is also space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. The dining area will accommodate a table and chairs with an opening in the partitioning wall leading through to the home's lounge.

The lounge is spacious and has a large window to the front elevation. There was a doorway from the entrance hall giving direct access off the hallway but this was blocked off by the previous owners creating a more intimate space and with no doorway the lounge furniture can be orientated with more flexibility.

The principal bedroom is situated toward the rear of the bungalow with a window overlooking the garden. The main bedroom is a good size double room and benefits from a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom is versatile and could be used as an office/study or dining room if not required as a bedroom. This room is often used as the access point for Conservatory's or Garden rooms if owners choose to add them.

Finally, there is a refitted shower room comprising a three piece suite to include a large walk-in shower with fixed screen, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home is a pebbled front garden, ideal for standing potted plants and shrubs. Adjacent to the front garden is a paved driveway that provides ample off-road parking and offers direct car access to a detached single garage that is set back to the rear.

At the rear is a relatively low maintenance South facing garden with paved patio seating area and a lawn that is bisected by a pathway running to the back fence. There is now getting around the fact the garden backs out to the local railway line. However, it means the garden is private, with a rather pleasant feeling of space around the home.

This really is a delightful bungalow and worthy of serious consideration from anyone looking to purchase this type of accommodation. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
