Healey Street, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This well presented two double bedroom terrace home occupies a plot with South Wigston's conservation area. The property is an ideal starter home for first-time buyers but may also appeal to those looking to downsize or looking for an investment property. Conveniently located for a wide range of local amenities the home is in close proximity to supermarkets, smaller shops and services and a host of eateries. Wigston's leisure centre and medical centre are nearby and schools for all age groups in close proximity. There are excellent road links into an out of the city of Leicester for those who commute and Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69 also readily accessible. South Wigston train station is also within walking distance.

Access to the property is via a composite front door that opens to a front reception room that the current owners use as their main lounge.

The lounge has a bay window to the front elevation with the main focal point of the room being a feature fireplace set onto a central chimney breast. A ceiling rose around the main light and coved ceiling means the home retains some of its period charm. A door from the lounge leads into a second reception room.

The second reception room could be used as the home's lounge if preferred but also could be used as a dining room. The dining room accommodates the stairs rising to the first-floor landing and also provides access to a large under stairs storage cupboard. The current owner also uses this room as an office with a desk and chair. An open doorway from the dining room leads into the kitchen.

The kitchen is well-appointed with an extensive 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. Integral appliances include a gas hob with extractor over, built-in electric oven and fridge/freezer. Space and plumbing for a washing machine are found in a utility area which lies beyond the kitchen. A back door in this utility area opens to the garden and a further door opens to a ground floor shower room.

The shower room comprises a three-piece suite to include a large walk-in shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is the larger of the two rooms and situated toward the front of the home. There is plenty of space for a range of freestanding wardrobe and drawers. The second bedroom, although smaller does accommodate a double bed and benefits from a built-in over stairs storage cupboard.

Finally, there is a large family bathroom, again with a three-piece suite that includes a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin.

The property is set back from the road and pavement via a low walled frontage, which is not the case with all the terraced homes in the area. There is also secure gated access to the rear shared only with the immediate neighbour.

At the rear is a low maintenance garden with paved patio seating area and a section of artificial lawn ideal for entertaining groups of friends or simply to relax and enjoy a drink in the summer months.

This is a well presented home with wide ranging appeal and internal viewing is highly recommended.
