Guilford Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This well loved three bedroom semi-detached family home is situated within a sought after residential area on the Wigston/Knighton border. Offered with no upward chain this traditional bay fronted home has been well maintained and presented but does offer the opportunity for any buyer to modernise and add significant and immediate value. The plot would also provide scope to extend the property both to the side and to the rear subject to local planning. The home is well positioned for a variety of local amenities with supermarkets, a range of smaller shops, services and eateries as well as leisure and medical facilities all in close proximity. For any buyers who commute there are excellent road links into the city of Leicester and Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69 is a ten minute drive away.

The accommodation itself comprises an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing and a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Both the kitchen and the dining room can be accessed from the entrance hall.

The dining room and lounge sit open plan to each other via a large archway that separates the two spaces. The current owners have the front part of the room set up as a dining area with the bay window filling the space with plenty of natural light. There is ample space for a large table and chairs as well as an assortment of storage and display furniture.

The lounge area is situated toward the rear of the property with a set of sliding patio doors than open to a sun room/conservatory. The main focal point of the lounge is an impressive feature fireplace. There are options for buyers to reconfigure the ground floor layout by knocking through the wall separating the lounge and kitchen to create a larger kitchen diner, something commonly done by owners of similar homes in the area.

The kitchen is its original size and comprises a 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 an integral gas hob and built-in electric oven. An understairs pantry cupboard accommodates a freestanding fridge/freezer and there is space and plumbing for a washing machine. A back door from the kitchen leads out to the side and rear of the home.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous double with the bay window to the front elevation. The main bedroom benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes and overhead storage. The second bedroom is also well-proportioned and enjoys views over the garden to the rear. The second bedroom accommodates an airing cupboard. The third bedroom is a versatile single room which could be used and as office or dressing room if not required as a bedroom.

Finally, there is a refitted shower room which comprises a three piece suite to include a corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

The home has an attractive kerb appeal with a slightly raised front garden bisected by a block paved pathway running up the front door. There is also a block paved driveway that provides off-road parking and runs down the side of the home leading to a detached single garage that is set back to the rear.

At the rear is a generous family garden which includes a paved patio seating area and a lawn that is interspersed with various small trees and flanked by a well stocked planted border. In addition, there are two greenhouses and a water feature. As previously mentioned, the garden does provide scope to extend with compromising too much of the outside space.

This is a delightful family home which has been cared for by long standing owners. It has wide ranging appeal and is ready for any potential buyer to make their own. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
