Offered with no upward chain the home has obviously been much loved and cared for, including a new roof in 2021. Although some buyers will want to update and modernise, this is largely cosmetic with the bungalow certainly in a condition that can be moved into and enjoyed immediately. The home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities including supermarkets, smaller shops and services as well as a variety of eateries. In addition, Wigston's leisure and medical centres are also only a short drive or bus ride away. Although obviously appealing to the typical bungalow demographic this property is certainly large enough to be considered as a family home broadening its scope considerably. The internal accommodation is generous and the dimensions impressive and as bungalows on the Little Hill estate are generally smaller or semi-detached, the scale and setting of this bungalow presents a rare opportunity.
Access to the home is via a large porch, added by the previous owners, that opens to an entrance hall. Doors off the hallway lead through to all three bedrooms, the two bathrooms and the lounge.

The lounge is a wonderful dual aspect space with windows to both front and side elevations that fill the room with plenty of natural light. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace and there is ample room for freestanding storage and furniture such as sofas and armchairs. A set of double doors then open to a dining room.

The dining room also benefits from a dual aspect with a bow window at one end and a set of patio doors at the other that open to the garden. There is ample room for a large table and chairs making the space ideal for family gatherings and dinner parties with friends. The kitchen sits open plan to the dining area via a large archway making this space a very convivial one where conversations can be had whilst food is prepared.

The kitchen includes an extensive range of base and wall-mounted fitted units roll roll-edge work surfaces and breakfast bar. There is a composite sink and drainer, integrated gas hob with extractor over and built-in gas oven underneath. In addition, there is ample space for a large fridge/freezer. A large window overlooks the garden, and a door leads into the separate utility room.

The utility room accommodates the boiler which was replaced in 2018 and has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A back door provides access to the garden whilst another door leads into the double garage.

The bungalow has three double bedrooms all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes and overhead storage. If any of these rooms are not required as bedrooms then they could equally use as an office or study space or even a hobby room. The three bedrooms are serviced by both a bathroom and a shower room. The bathroom comprises a bath, low flush WC and wash hand basin that is set upon a vanity unit. The shower room includes a shower cubicle, a further WC and a pedestal wash hand basin.

The driveway and garage can be accessed from Purbeck Close, a small Cul-de-Sac off Horsewell Lane. The block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to the double garage which has a remote operated up and over door. The garage also has light and power, and a pitched roof offers useful storage space.

The garden wrap around the property, which shingle beds interspersed with fruit trees, shrubs and flowering plants. The rear garden has a courtyard feel given the bungalow is 'L' shaped. The garden is relatively low maintenance, with well-stocked planted beds and paved patio seating areas. The garden is private and a wonderful space to enjoy the summer sunshine.

This truly is an impressive bungalow and internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate its position, plot and potential.
