Pensilva Close, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This stunning and significantly extended three bedroom detached family home occupies a very attractive plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position on the ever popular Little Hill area of Wigston. The home is beautifully presented having been exceptionally maintained and improved by the current owners during their time there. This is, in fact, the first time anyone has been able to purchase this particular property as the owners have been there since the home was built in 1970. The single storey extension accommodates a delightful garden room. The home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities with supermarkets, a range of other shops and services, as well as medical and leisure centres are all nearby. The home is also within walking distance of the highly regarded Little Hill Primary School and indeed enjoys pleasant open views of the school playing fields behind the garden to the rear.

The accommodation itself is accessed via a large porch which is also an addition made by the owners and in turn leads into generous entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing, a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Off the entrance hall is a ground floor WC and doors through to the lounge diner and kitchen.

The lounge diner is a spacious dual aspect room with windows to both the front and to the side. There is ample room for a range of lounge, dining and display furniture with the main focal point being a feature exposed brick fireplace inset into the exterior wall. A set of double folding doors open to the garden room.

The garden room offers a second reception which enjoys views over a well-tended back garden. A set of French patio doors open to the garden and the room has an eye catching herring bone pattern Karndean flooring.

The kitchen has only been refitted relatively recently and includes a contemporary range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with a high-gloss finish and granite work surfaces including a separate breakfast bar. There is an inset sink and drainer, integral induction hob, built-in oven and microwave, integral larder refridgerater and dishwasher. Karndean flooring adds further quality to this impressive space.

A back door from the kitchen leads into a covered side passage running from front to back. A personal door provides access to the garage and a further door leads into a separate utility room behind. The utility room has an additional sink and drainer as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also space for additional white goods if required.

The quality of presentation and finish continues on the first floor. The principal bedroom, situated toward the front of the home, is the largest of three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom does benefit from a fitted triple wardrobe with overhead LED spotlights. The second bedroom is also a double room overlooking the garden and again has a high quality fitted double wardrobe. The third bedroom, if not a double room, is certainly a larger than average single which again boasts a fitted wardrobe and storage. This space could be used as an office or even a dressing room if not required as a regular bedroom.

The fully tiled family bathroom comprises a four-piece white suite to include a bath, separate corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and a wall mounted wash hand basin.

Off the landing is a large airing cupboard which accommodates a recently fitted boiler which still has a year remaining on its warranty.

To the front of the home a block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to the garage which has an electric, remote operated, main roller door. There is also light and power.

At the rear is a beautiful and mature family garden with lawn surrounded by well stocked planted borders that add colour, structure and privacy. A paved patio seating area is ideal for entertaining and relaxing during the summer months. With the garden backing out to playing fields there is a wonderful feeling of space around the home.

This really is a magnificent home, packed with quality details. However, there is still the opportunity for any buyer to add further value, perhaps most obviously with a further extension over the garage to create a fourth bedroom. If you are looking for a charming family home this one should be taken very seriously indeed.
