Rutland Avenue, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This very well presented and surprisingly spacious three bedroom terrace townhouse occupies a superb South facing plot within a sought after residential area. The plot would allow for significant extension to the rear of the home subject to local planning which is in place as the current owners did apply for a eight by six metre single storey rear extension. The property is well positioned for a plethora of amenities both in Wigston Magna and South Wigston. Supermarkets, smaller shops and services, various eateries as well as both leisure and medical facilities are either within walking distance or only a short drive away.

The home itself has been substantially improved by the owners during their time, including the replacement of the boiler in 2021 which is still under warranty and the removal of a wall between the kitchen and dining room creating a more open kitchen diner.

The entrance hall has stairs rising to the first floor landing with a under stair recess that provides useful storage space. Doors from the entrance hall open to the lounge and kitchen diner.

The lounge is spacious and filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a feature bay window and patio door that leads out to the garden. Another focal point of the room is a feature fireplace that is set onto a central chimney breast. There is ample room for a variety of living room furniture with the space comfortably accommodating three sofas.

The kitchen diner was formally a small kitchen with separate dining room.

The kitchen has a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with square-edge work surfaces and a porcelain sink and drainer. There is an integral gas hob with extractor over and built-in eye-level electric oven. There is a unit that houses and American style fridge/freezer and plumbing fora washing machine.
