Rawson Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This well presented and very well appointed three bedroom detached family home occupies a particularly private corner plot within a relatively small Redrow built development of approximately fifty homes on the outskirts of Wigston. With approximately five years remaining on the NHBC warranty this double fronted home is well screened from the main Welford Road via planted trees that continue to mature. The home is designed for modern family life and has all the characteristics that many buyers expect including the feature kitchen diner, separate utility room and principal bedroom with en-suite. Redrow have a reputation for high build quality and after sale care providing buyers with confidence and security. The property is only a short drive away from a wide range of local amenities such as supermarkets, medical and leisure facilities and for commuters there are excellent road links into the city of Leicester. For runners and walkers the Grand Union Canal towpath is two minutes down the road and open countryside is also readily accessible.

Access to the home is via a composite front door that opens to an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing. Off the entrance hall is a ground floor WC and wash hand basin. The kitchen diner is situated to one side of the hallway and the lounge the other.

The lounge is a generous dual aspect room with windows to both side and front elevations. This fills the space with plenty of natural light. The room has scope to be configured in a variety of ways depending on furniture types and preference. However, the current owners have chosen to create a fireplace with an electric burner against a wallpapered feature wall, giving the room a distinct and eye-catching focal point.

The kitchen diner is again a dual aspect space with windows to the front and side as well as a set of French patio doors that lead out to the garden. The current owners use the dining area of the space as a second sitting room but there is ample space for a large table and chairs if more formal dining facilities are preferred. The kitchen area includes a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with a high-gloss finish and roll-edge work surfaces with stainless steel sink and drainer. Integral appliances include a gas hob with extractor over, two full size eye-level ovens, fridge freezer and dishwasher.

A door from the kitchen area opens to a separate utility room where there is an additional sink unit and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A back door then leads out to the driveway and garage.

To the first floor landing there is an over stairs storage cupboard and even has space for a small reading chair. There are doors off the landing to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom has the feel of a boutique hotel except the current owners have more pillows! A generous double room with a window to the front there is plenty of space for a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The main bedroom also benefits from a superb en-suite with large walk-in shower cubicle, low flush WC and wall-mounted wash hand basin.

The second bedroom is also a double room, again, with a window to the front elevation. The third bedroom is a spacious single room, which could be used as an office space or dressing room if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, there is a contemporary family bathroom comprising a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin matching those found in the en-suite.

The driveway is situated toward the rear of the property as a consequence of being the corner plot and creating further separation from the immediate neighbour. The driveway provides off-road parking for three vehicles as well as direct car access to a detached single garage which has light and power.

The back garden is actually situated to the side of the home off the kitchen diner. Given how new the home is the garden gives the impression of being more mature than it's years. The current owners have created extensively planted borders containing a variety of small trees and shrubs. There is a covered patio seating area that is large enough to accommodate a hot tub which may be available by separate negotiation.

This really is a beautifully presented modern family home that should appeal to a wide range of potential purchasers. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate the quality of presentation and the full potential it has to offer.
