Central Avenue, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This remarkable three bedroom terrace home occupies a superb and surprising plot within walking distance of Wigston's main high street of shops, services and eateries. Located in The Lanes conservation area this fabulous home successfully combines period charm with superb modern finishes to create a wonderful home with wide ranging appeal. Not only is the home well positioned for local shops and services it is also close to leisure and medical facilities. For commuters there are excellent road links into the city of Leicester as well as numerous other potential destinations. The property is spacious, versatile and very well presented throughout.

Access to the home is via a composite front door which opens to an entrance hall. The home benefits from two reception rooms the first of which is a dining room situated toward the front of the property. The dining room has a fantastic bay window that has been fitted with bespoke shutter blinds and has ample space for a large table and chairs. Although the current owners us this room as a more formal dining space the room is versatile and could be used as a playroom or even a work space if required.

The lounge is larger than the dining room. this room is beautifully presented with a high-quality Karndean style flooring that is also found in the hallway and dining room. There is a window to the rear elevation and a door that hides the stairs that rise to the first floor landing. Under the stairs is a large and useful storage cupboard.

From the lounge you enter the kitchen which again has been refitted by the current owners. The kitchen includes a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is an integral gas hob with extractor over and built-in electric oven underneath. There is also an integral dishwasher and space for a freestanding fridge freezer. A back door provides access to the garden and there is a window to the side elevation.

Behind the kitchen is a small utility room which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and adds further pantry and storage space.

To the first floor, there are two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second bedroom toward the front of the home has been ever so slightly compromised to allow for a staircase that rises to the converted loft. However, it remains a well-proportioned double room with two windows to the front elevation. The room also benefits from a floor to ceiling fitted double wardrobe.

The third bedroom is yet another impressive space which retains an original cast iron fireplace set onto a central chimney breast and an original alcove cupboard alongside. If one of these two bedrooms were not needed as bedrooms day-to-day, they could also be used as dressing rooms, work spaces or play areas if desired.

The family bathroom is generous with a tiled floor and tiled walls to the water sensitive areas. The bathroom comprises a modern three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that is set onto a vanity unit. An airing cupboard accommodates the boiler which still has one year of its warranty remaining.

The current owners chose to convert the loft space to create a fabulous principal suite. Planning permission was obtained and the work compliant with building regulations so can legitimately be classed as an official bedroom. The room enjoys four Velux windows, two to the front and two to the rear which fill the space with plenty of natural light. There are also fitted wardrobes and hatches into the eaves which again provide storage. Off, the bedroom is a superb en-suite, giving the home a second bathroom. The en-suite includes a walk-in shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

The property is set back from the road via a low walled frontage. there is a secure gated shared access to the side which is only shared with the immediate neighbour. Although parking is on-street the home is positioned far enough away from Wigston's main high street where parking becomes easier.

At the rear is an amazing garden that seems to go on and on and is consequently split into more useable sections. the first sections has a couple of paved patio seating areas, ideal for entertaining family and friends in the summer months. A timber-built storage shed beyond these patio areas is handy for storing garden tools and equipment. A gate takes you through to a lawn which is ideal for children to play. The final section is an allotment style vegetable garden, ideal for those who aspire to the Good Life and growing their own produce.

This is a magnificent family home in a wonderful position and should appeal to first time purchasers, young families and those looking to downsize and want to be close to local amenities. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
