Ruskington Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This well presented three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous and attractive plot within walking distance of Knighton Park. Already within a sought after residential area the added benefit of the plot is that is backs onto Oadby golf course, which not only makes for a pleasant and protected view but also means the back garden is private and not overlooked by any other development. The home has also been extended by means of a conservatory which sits open plan to the dining room. The home has been well maintained by the current owners but also improved including the refitting of an eye-catching kitchen. The home is conveniently located for a wide range of local amenities with supermarkets, a plethora of smaller shops and services as well as medical and leisure facilities all close by.

The accommodation itself includes a porch and on into an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Doors off the hallway open to the lounge and kitchen.

The main lounge is spacious and filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large bay window to the front elevation. The main focal point of the room is a contemporary feature fireplace that is mounted into the angled chimney breast, commonly found in these Jelson built homes within the immediate area. A set of glazed panel folding doors lead through to the dining room.

The dining room has a delightful parquet style flooring that continues into the conservatory which the current owners have added to create another large reception space. There is ample room for a large table and chairs and further seating within the conservatory area itself. This is a versatile space which could be used is various ways including additional utility space or even office space for anyone working from home.

A large open archway from the dining room opens to the kitchen, which gives the ground floor a more open plan feel, especially when the folding doors between the lounge and dining room are open. The kitchen has been refitted and includes a range of base and wall-mounted units with a red high gloss finish. There is a composite sink and drainer and ultra-thin laminate work surfaces. In addition, there is an integral ceramic hob, built-in electric oven and microwave and space and plumbing for both a slimline dishwasher and washing machine. A window overlooks the garden and a back door provides access to a covered car port to the side of the property.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is situated to the front of the home and again benefits from a large bay window and is a well-proportioned double room with plenty of space for a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers.

The second bedroom, also a good size double room enjoys views over the garden and golf course beyond. This bedroom has a fitted wardrobe and overhead storage and also accommodates an airing cupboard where the home's boiler can be found.

The third bedroom is a versatile single room which could be used as a dressing room or working space if not required as a bedroom on a daily basis.

Finally, there is a family bathroom which comprises a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a shingle driveway provides off-road parking as well as direct car access to the car port to the side. At the rear is a fantastic family garden, with a raised paved patio seating area with a step down to a lawn which is surrounded by slate and shingle pieces that keep the garden relatively low maintenance. Toward the top of the garden is a further timber decked seating area. The garden and car port would allow scope to extend the home both to the side and rear in the future and subject to local planning.

This is a superb family home with wide ranging appeal and internal viewing is very much recommended to truly appreciate the plot, presentation and future potential this charming property has to offer.
