Durnford Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This two bedroom semi-detached bungalow is offered with no upward chain and occupies a superb corner plot within a sought after residential area. The plot is significantly larger than many similar bungalows within the immediate area. This is due to the large front garden and adjacent driveway which would easily accommodate a caravan or motorhome if required. The home is conveniently located for a wide variety of local amenities including a Co-op supermarket and a parade of shops within a small parade just around the corner and a wider selection of shops services and amenities within Wigston Magna, which although walkable is just a short drive or bus ride away. The home is well presented throughout and does benefit from the kitchen and lounge being situated toward the rear which is many buyers preferred layout.

Access to the home is via a main front door that opens to an entrance hall, off which is a useful storage cupboard as well as doors that open to all rooms.

The main lounge, as previously mentioned, is situated toward the rear of the home and is filled with plenty of natural light due to a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace that is set onto a central chimney. To the left of the fireplace is a set of double doors that open to a small dining area, which again looks out over the garden.

The dining area has ample space for a table and chairs and sits open plan to the kitchen, creating a more open kitchen diner. The kitchen itself, includes 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 an integral gas hob with extractor over and a raised built-in double electric oven. There is under counter space for a freestanding fridge and freezer as well as plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen has a large window to the side elevation and a back door that opens to the side of the home, where the rear garden and garage can be accessed.

Both bedrooms are situated toward the front of the bungalow. The principal bedroom is the largest of the two and is a generous double that benefits from a wall of built-in wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors. The second bedroom, although smaller, is still a double room with a window to the side elevation. This versatile space could be used as a hobby room or study if not required as a bedroom on a day-to-day basis.

Finally, there is a refitted wet room which comprises a three-piece white suite to include a large walk-in shower with fixed screen, low flush WC and a wash hand basin that is mounted into a large vanity/storage unit.

To the front of the home there is a large lawned front garden with planted border and means the bungalow is set well back from the road and pavement. Alongside the front garden is a paved driveway that provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles as well as direct car access to the detached single garage. Between the bungalow and garage there is secure gated access to the rear.

At the rear is a neatly tended, private and relatively low maintenance garden with a paved patio seating area, an area of artificial lawn and raised and planted borders. The garden has a timber-built storage shed and is enclosed by tall timber panel fencing.

This really is a delightful bungalow in a fantastic position. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
