This three bedroom semi-detached home occupies a generous and private plot within a sought after residential area in close proximity to Knighton Park which is literally 'around the corner' and only a short walk away. The home is offered with no upward chain and represents a fantastic opportunity for any buyer to add significant value either through the refurbishment of the existing accommodation or through extension which the plot would allow, or even a combination of both. The property is conveniently located for a wide range of amenities including large supermarkets, a variety of smaller shops, services and eateries in Wigston Magna. For commuters there are excellent road links into the city of Leicester and around Leicester's outer circle that takes you towards Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69. Ideally suited to first time buyers willing to take on some work or perhaps a builder/developer looking for a property to update and rent out or sell on.

The accommodation itself includes a spacious entrance hall with a window to the side elevation and stairs rising to the first floor landing. Off the hallway are doors through to both reception rooms and the kitchen.

The front reception room is well proportioned and filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large bay window. The lounge has ample room for a range of living room and display furniture with the main focal point being a delightful wood burning stove set into a central chimney breast.

The dining room lies adjacent to the kitchen at the rear of the property. There is plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs and a single patio door provides access to the garden.

The kitchen has a range of base and wall mounted units with roll-edge work surfaces and stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is space for a range cooker, integral dishwasher and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer which can be housed in a pantry cupboard under the stairs. There is a back door which offers an alternative access point to the garden. The kitchen could be made larger either via extension or by knocking through to the dining room to create a kitchen diner.

To the first floor there are two double bedrooms one situated toward the front of the home and the other overlooking the garden to the rear. The front bedroom benefits from two built-in wardrobes that occupy the alcove space either side of the chimney breast. The second bedroom enjoys a wall of fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom is a versatile single room that could be used as an office space, for those who work from home or even a dressing room if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, there is a bathroom comprising a three-piece suite to include a bath with electric shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home there is space to park a vehicle however, there is currently no dropped kerb to that space but there is normally no issue with on-street parking along Brighton Avenue. At the rear is a generous garden which is private and has a paved patio seating area and a lawn that is flanked by planted borders and timber panel fencing. There are two brick-built outbuildings that provide additional storage and utility space.

This home does offer fantastic potential and it does not require huge imagination to see the possibilities it holds. Internal viewing is certainly recommended.
