Sandy Rise, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This well presented three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position right on the Oadby and Wigston border. The proximity to Oadby is ideal with parents whose children attend the Oadby schools and is even within the catchment of several highly regarded schools for all age ranges. The home is also well positioned for a plethora of amenities including supermarkets, smaller shops and services, a range of eateries as well as medical and leisure centres. The home itself is well presented throughout and very much a blank canvass ready for any potential buyer to make their own. The plot would allow scope to for extension, especially, toward the rear, and is something a few of the neighbouring homes have already done so there is a precedent. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and for those that work from home there are options to create work spaces in the home.

Access to the home is via a main front door that opens to a generous entrance hall which has stairs rising to the first floor landing and a useful under stairs cloakroom/storage cupboard. Doors from the hallway open to the lounge and kitchen diner.

The lounge benefits from a large bay window to the front elevation which fills the room with plenty of natural light. There is ample space for a range of lounge furniture and is a cosy space to relax and unwind after a long day at work.

The kitchen diner was created by the removal of the internal wall separating the original smaller kitchen and the dining room. The kitchen has a modern range of base and wall mounted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is space for a cooker with extractor hood over, space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. The dining area has ample room for a table and chairs or, as the current owners choose to do, have a range of lounge furniture to create another family space. The kitchen diner is a dual aspect room with windows to both side and rear elevations. Further light is provided by a set of French patio doors that open from the dining area and lead out to the garden.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a further third single bedroom. Either of the two double rooms could be used as the principal bedroom depending on preference. The slighter longer but narrower bedroom is situated toward the front of the home, where the second wider bedroom enjoys views over the garden. The third bedroom is a versatile single bedroom that could be used as either office space or a dressing room if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, on the first floor is a bathroom comprising a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin set onto a vanity unit.

To the front of the of the home a hard standing driveway provides ample off-road parking and runs down the side of the property to give direct car access to a detached single garage that is set back toward the rear. The garage has light and power and an up and over main door. A door to the side of the garage opens to the garden.

At the rear is a good size family garden that is enclosed by tall timber panel fencing. The garden has a generous paved patio seating area, ideal for outside furniture creating a place to both entertain or simply to sit and relax in the warmer summer months. An area of lawn extends behind the garage and provides an excellent space for youngsters to play.

This is a super home in a highly desirable location. The home was rewired in 2009/10 and had the boiler was replaced in 2021. It also offers plenty of scope for buyers to add further value after purchase especially through extension. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
