Aylestone Lane, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This substantially extended three/four bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous plot within a sought after residential area. A wrap around single storey extension, built by the current owners, has created a second ground floor bedroom and an impressive open plan kitchen diner, a feature desired by many buyers. The ground floor has also been reconfigured with a stud wall erected in what was a large reception space creating two separate rooms, one being the lounge and the other, currently presented as an office, but also could be a fourth ground floor bedroom. The home is conveniently located for a wide range of amenities including large supermarkets, a plethora of local eateries and a selection of smaller shops and services. Wigston's leisure and medical centres are also a within walking distance. For those who commute there are excellent road links into the city of Leicester and South Wigston train station is readily accessible. Those that work from home will discover that the home provides options for office space.

Access to the home is via a composite front door that opens to a porch and in turn through to a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing and doors that leads through to the kitchen diner, lounge, study/fourth bedroom and ground floor bathroom.

The remarkable kitchen diner is the real feature space of this superb home. The kitchen includes an extensive range of modern soft close base and wall mounted fitted units, including an island that also acts as a breakfast bar. The units have a high-gloss finish, plenty of work surface space and a one and a half bowl composite sink and drainer. There is space for a large range cooker with extractor hood over and integrated appliances include a fridge and freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area has ample space for a large table and chairs. The space is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a set of French patio doors that open to the garden and a further window to the rear. It is a fantastic space and the heartbeat of the home.

The lounge is well-proportioned and able to accommodate a range of living room furniture including sofas as well as storage and display furniture. A set of sliding patio doors open to the dining area of the extension. The room was formally a lounge diner spanning the full length of the home; however, the owners decide to erect a partitioning wall to create a completely separate room situated toward the front of the home which can be used in a variety of ways.

The front room is currently presented as an office space, ideal for those that work from home. The main focal point of the room is a large bay window to the front elevation. However, this space could easily be a formal dining room, play room for children and for those potentially looking to look after an older relative it could easily be a fourth bedroom.

If the front room was used as a bedroom, it would be serviced by a ground floor bathroom, also created through extension. The bathroom comprises a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is the largest of three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the garden to the rear and can comfortably take a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The second bedroom is also a double and has a window to the front. The third bedroom is presented as a single room but could accommodate a double bed if required. The third bedroom could also provide a further work/office space or even be used as a dressing room if not needed as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, on the first floor, is another bathroom, again comprising a three-piece suite with a bath and shower, low flush WC and wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a large block paved driveway provides off-road parking for up to four vehicles and could easily park a caravan or motorhome if needed.

At the rear is a generous family garden which can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. A large, paved patio area is an excellent entertainment area for summer barbeques and enjoying drinks with family and friends. A lawned area provides space for children to play. A further timber decked seating area can be found at the back of the garden and down one side. Inset into the decking is an amazing koi carp pond. A fence around this decked section is a useful safety feature for those with the very young children.

This really is a wonderful, well-presented, well-appointed, spacious and versatile family home. It has wide ranging appeal for families of varying sizes and ages. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate the space and adaptability of this magnificent property.
