This well maintained two bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupies a pleasant South facing plot on the periphery of the sought after Little Hill estate. Offered with no upward chain and requiring some modernisation, the bungalow has been extended off the kitchen and behind the garage which accommodates a separate utility room and is certainly a feature that many of the similar neighbouring bungalows will not possess. The bungalow is conveniently located for all Wigston's array of amenities including large supermarkets, a wide selection of smaller shops, services and eateries as well as both leisure and medical centres. On the estate itself there is a small parade of shops that include a Co-op supermarket which is within walking distance.

The accommodation itself includes an entrance hall, off which, is a useful storage/cloakroom cupboard. This bungalow is configured in such a way that the bedrooms are situated toward the front of the property, with the lounge, dining space and kitchen toward the rear. A layout preferred by many buyers as they can look out to the garden from the reception rooms as opposed to the bedrooms.

The lounge is spacious and has a set of sliding patio doors that open to a conservatory which is an addition made by the late owners of the home and another advantage of having the reception rooms at the rear. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace which is set onto a central chimney breast. That separate the lounge from the kitchen on the other side.

The dining area sits open plan to the lounge as the space wraps around the chimney wall. There is a large window to rear that overlooks the garden and ample space for a table and chairs.

A set of double doors then open to the kitchen. The kitchen includes base and wall mounted units and cupboards with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink drainer. There is space for a cooker, and under counter space for a fridge and freezer. A door from the kitchen opens to the extended utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. This useful area also provides additional storage space and has a window to the rear and a back door that offers alternative access to the garden.

The conservatory enables more seating and reception space and has a tiled floor with a door that opens to the garden.

The principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the bungalow. The main bedroom is a good size double room and benefits from a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom is versatile and could be used as an office/study or dining room if not required as a bedroom.

Finally, there is a refitted bathroom comprising a three-piece suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on a vanity/storage unit.

To the front of the home is a pebbled front garden, ideal for standing potted plants and shrubs. Adjacent to the front garden is a paved driveway that provides ample off-road parking and offers direct car access to a single garage. The garage has light, power and up and over main door.

At the rear is a relatively low maintenance South facing garden with paved and covered patio seating area alongside the conservatory. The remaining garden area is made up of shingle laid sections interspersed with pathways and planted beds. Either side of the garden are more planted mature borders containing a variety of flora.

This really is a charming bungalow with many buyers preferred layout and with additions of the conservatory and extended utility room. With the ability for any purchaser to add immediate value this bungalow is worthy of serious consideration from anyone looking to purchase this type of accommodation. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
