Glengate, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This spacious three bedroom terrace property occupies a plot within the South Wigston Conservation Area. Offered with no upward chain the home is in close proximity to a wide selection of shops, services and eateries as well as larger supermarkets, medical facilities and Wigston's leisure centre. For commuters there are excellent road links into the city of Leicester and South Wigston train station is within walking distance. The home does require modernisation and refurbishment throughout but offers any buyer the potential to add immediate value and should appeal to first time purchasers, young professionals and those looking for a buy-to-let investment.

Access to the property is via a main front door that opens to a front reception room. The first of two receptions spaces either could be used as a lounge or dining room to suit personal preference. The lounge (as labelled on the photographs) has a large window to the front elevation that fills the room with plenty of natural light.

Beyond the lounge is a second reception room that we have described as the dining room. The dining room has a window to the rear and also accommodated the stairs which rise to the first floor landing.

An open doorway from the dining room leads through 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 stainless steel sink and drainer. There is space for a cooker and under counter space for a fridge with plumbing for a washing machine. There is a window to the side elevation and a door through to a lobby area.

The lobby provides further utility space and could accommodate a fide/freezer. A back door from the lobby offers access to the rear garden. Also accessed off the lobby is a ground floor bathroom. The bathroom comprises a three piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous double room with a window to the front elevation. The room has ample space for a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers.

The second bedroom is also a double room with a window to the rear. The room benefits from a built-in over stairs storage cupboard/wardrobe.

Directly off the second bedroom is the versatile third single bedroom. It is possible to create independent access to this room through the reconfiguration of the first floor. However, in many similar properties with this footprint the third bedroom has often become an office space, a dressing area or even an en-suite to the second bedroom. There are several options for a buyer to make best use of this room depending on personal circumstances and family needs.

To the rear of the home there is a low maintenance garden, which is paved and enclosed by tall timber panel fencing. There is a purpose built store in the garden.

Although a little work and effort is required this property is ready for any potential buyer to put their own stamp on it and make the home their own. Internal viewing is recommended to truly appreciate the potential this charming home offers
