Mere Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This extended three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous plot within one of Wigston's most sought after residential areas. The shell of the extension has already been completed but due to changing circumstances the current owner is unable to complete the project. A buyer is therefore required who is prepared to finish what has already been started.

The home is conveniently positioned for a wide array of amenities including large supermarkets, smaller shops and services, a selection of eateries as well as medical and leisure facilities. The 'Mere's, despite the Wigston postcode, are also within the catchment for a couple of the highly regarded Oadby schools, another reason why this residential area is so popular.

The accommodation includes an extended porch area and hallway that is designed to provide cloakroom space and to accommodate a ground floor WC. There are then stairs rising to the first floor and a door through to the existing lounge diner.

The lounge diner has a window to the front elevation and an open archway through to the full width extension at the rear where the intention was to reposition the kitchen. The lounge diner is generous and has ample room for a table and chairs as well as the usual array of lounge furniture.

The old kitchen is still in place and includes a range of base and wall mounted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a composite sink and drainer. There is an integral gas hob and built-in eye level double oven. There is also space for a fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. Upon completion of the extension this space could be used as a dining area off the new kitchen or a little snug or seating area.

The shell of the extension includes a window overlooking the garden and a set of bi-fold doors that would open to a patio area in the garden.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the home and is a generous double room that benefits from a built-in over stairs storage cupboard/wardrobe.
The second bedroom is also a double and has an extensive range of fitted wardrobes. The first floor has also been extended to include a third bedroom as the home was originally a two bedroom property.

Finally, on the first floor the is a shower room comprising a three piece suite to include a corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit.

To the front of the home a large driveway provides ample off-road parking and there is secure gated access to the rear. At the rear is a low maintenance but good size garden enclosed in tall timber panel fencing.

It does not require much imagination to visualise how this property might look once completed and to aid this the architectural plans have been included with the property photographs. There is also the option to revise the existing plans to suit the requirements of a particular buyer. Internal viewing is certainly required to understand the building that has taken place thus far and the work still needed to create this lovely family home into the stunning property it can become.
