Foston Gate, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This superb two bedroom end townhouse occupies a plot within the sought after Wigston Harcourt estate. The home has been significantly improved by the current owner during her time there and consequently the property is very well presented throughout and offers wide ranging appeal. Foston Gate is conveniently located for a plethora of local amenities including large supermarkets, a variety of smaller shops, services and eateries as well as Wigston's leisure and medical centres. The home is also well positioned for access to the local countryside, walks along the Grand Union canal via Kilby Bridge and the popular Wistow Garden Centre are readily accessible.

The accommodation itself includes an entrance area with a door that opens to a spacious lounge diner. The lounge diner has ample room for a table and chairs as well as the usual array of lounge furniture. There is a window to the rear elevation and a patio door that provides access to the garden. There is a flight of stairs that rise to the first floor landing and an open archway that leads into the refitted kitchen.

The kitchen has been replaced by the current owner and includes a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with a contemporary high gloss finish, marble effect roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless steel sink and drainer. There is an integral gas hob with extractor hood over and a built-in double electric oven underneath. In addition, there is space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine.

To the first floor, the landing has a useful built-in storage cupboard, provides access to the loft space and has doors off to both bedrooms and the bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a spacious double room, with a window that looks out over the garden. A recess in the wall provides space for a freestanding wardrobe but would be an ideal place for a set of fitted wardrobes if preferred. The second bedroom is a well-proportioned single room and could be used as as an office space or dressing room if not required as a bedroom on a day-to-day basis.

Finally, there is a family bathroom which again has been refitted by the current owner. The bathroom comprises a modern three-piece suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity/storage unit.

The property is set well back from the road via a lawned front garden that enhances the home's kerb appeal. A pathway runs down the side of the home to the resident car park behind the garden which has an allocated parking space for the property. There is also secure gated access to the back garden.

At the rear is a landscaped but relatively low maintenance garden with paved patio seating area and sections of lawn that are bisected and flanked by paths that lead to a storage shed.

This is a wonderfully presented home with wide ranging appeal but might be of particular interest to first time buyers, buy-to-let investors, and those looking to downsize. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space and finish the home has to offer.
