Willow Park Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This neatly presented three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous plot within a sought after residential area. The plot would allow scope for extension both to the side and rear without compromising too much of the outside space and subject to local planning. The home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities with large supermarkets, an array of smaller shops, services and eateries as well as leisure and medical centres all within a short drive or bus ride away. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and those who work from home will find options to use either the smallest bedroom or even erect a garden office.

Access to the home is via composite front door that opens to a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing and a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Doors from the hallway open to the dining room and kitchen.

The dining room is situated toward the front of the property and is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large bay window to the front elevation. There is ample space for a large dining table and chairs, but the room could be used as a second sitting room, could easily accommodate a desk and chair for home working or could be a play room for youngsters.

The lounge sits open plan to the dining room via a large archway. The main focal point of the lounge is a living flame gas fire set into a painted brick exposed brick chimney breast that extends along the wall creating a shelf for a television. A set of sliding patio doors open to the conservatory.

The conservatory is of brick and uPVC construction and is a versatile space that provides further, reception and utility space. There is room in the conservatory for a small table and chairs as well as for extra white goods such as a second fridge and tumble dryer. A set of French doors open to the garden. As well as being accessed from the lounge, the conservatory can also be entered from the kitchen via an open doorway.

The kitchen has been refitted to include a modern range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with a high-gloss finish and roll-edge work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a gas hob with extractor hood over, and built-in double oven underneath. There is also an integrated fridge and freezer. The kitchen also has a one and a half bowl stainless-steel sink and drainer and space and plumbing for a washing machine. Some buyers may want to enlarge the kitchen at some point, and this could be done either through extension, or by knocking through the wall that separates the kitchen and the lounge creating a larger kitchen diner. The existing dining area could then become the lounge a configuration change found quite frequently in neighbouring properties around the immediate area.

To the first floor, there are two generous double bedrooms either of which could be used as the principal bedroom depending on preference. The current owner choses to use the rear bedroom as the main one which overlooks the garden and benefits from wall of fitted wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors. The front bedroom benefits the extra space provided by the bay window and boasts a built-in double wardrobe. The third bedroom is a single room and has a fitted wardrobe and overhead storage. If not required as a bedroom day-to-day this bedroom could be used as an office or study or even a dressing room if needed.

Finally, there is a refitted shower room which has a large walk-in shower cubicle with fixed screen and a wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit. The WC is separate to the shower room which can help with those busy morning bathroom queues.

To the front of the home a paved driveway provides off-road parking for at least two vehicles and runs down the side of the home to a secure gated side access to the rear. Adjacent to the driveway a planted border enhances the home's pleasant kerb appeal.

At the rear is a fantastic family garden ideal for all ages. Paved patio and hard standing seating areas provide spaces to entertain or simply to sit and relax and enjoy a drink in the warmer summer months. A generous lawn is ideal for children to play. A planted border containing a variety of shrubs, small trees and plants add colour and structure to the garden and a timber-built shed provides further storage.

This is a delightful home with wide ranging appeal. First time buyers and young families should be giving this wonderful home serious consideration. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space, presentation and future potential it has to offer.
