Carlton Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This impressively renovated and refurbished three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous plot that provides scope to extend to both side and rear and enjoys views over a recreational/park area to the front. Purchased by the current owners in 2021, they have comprehensively updated and modernised the property during their time. The home has been fully rewired, re-plumbed, including a new boiler which will still have over four years remaining on its warranty, and redecorated throughout including a refitted kitchen and shower room. The home is in close proximity to a wide range of local amenities with Wigston Magna within walking distance. For commuters, there are excellent road links into the city of Leicester.

Access to the home is via a newly fitted composite front door, which again is still under warranty for the next eight years, that opens to a small porch and beyond into entrance hall which has stairs rising to the first floor landing and a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Doors from the hallway lead into the kitchen and the lounge diner.

The lounge diner is a spacious dual aspect room with a large bay window to the front elevation and a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden and fill the space with plenty of natural light. The room has new flooring and has been re-plastered and decorated.

The kitchen has been refitted to include a contemporary range of base or wall mounted fitted units with a high gloss finish, roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless steel sink and drainer. There is an integral gas hob, with extractor over and built-in electric oven underneath. In addition, there is a built-in washing machine that is neatly hidden behind one of the under counter doors. A former pantry cupboard provides a handy space to accommodate a freestanding fridge freezer. There is a window overlooking the garden to the rear and a composite back door which, like the front door, is still under warranty.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a spacious double room with a bay window to the front that enjoys views over a small park/recreational area off Carlton Drive. The room benefits from a fitted double wardrobe. The second bedroom which is also a double room also has a built-in wardrobe/cupboard. The third bedroom which is a versatile single room which could be used as an office space or dressing room if not required as a bedroom on a day to day basis.

Finally, on the first floor is a refitted shower room comprising a modern three piece white suite to include a large corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and wall mounted wash hand basin with storage drawers underneath.

To the front of the home a large block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and there is secure gated side access to the rear. At the rear is a generous family garden made larger by the removal of an old asbestos garage. The garden to say that it has been recently landscaped and has a new lawn and new fencing. The garden is relatively low maintenance and also has a paved patio seating area. The current owners were anxious not to do too much work in the garden with the likelihood that the home might be extended in future.

This light and spacious home has wide ranging appeal and although hugely improved by the owners they have left plenty of scope to add further value moving forward. Internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the volume of work and quality of finish.
