Kirkdale Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This immaculately presented two double bedroom terrace home occupies a plot that is within walking distance of a variety of shops, services and eateries. The property has been substantially improved by the current owner creating a superb home that offers wide ranging appeal. As well as being close to a number of shops and services, the property is also well placed for supermarkets, schooling and Wigston's leisure and medical centres. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city, towards Blaby and Countesthorpe and to junction 21 of M1/M69 near Fosse Park. For those that work from home, there are options to set up work spaces in both the dining room and the second bedroom as pictured.

Although access to the home would normally be via a front door that would lead into the front reception room, the current owners have configured the lounge in such a way that the front door is not used. They prefer to enter the home via the gated side access and use the back door which takes you directly into the kitchen.

The kitchen has been refitted to a high standard with an extensive range of soft close base and wall-mounted fitted units and drawers. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, with extractor hood over and a built-in electric oven underneath. In addition, there is then space for an American style fridge/freezer and plumbing for both a washer dryer and slimline dishwasher. Patterned tiled splashbacks add an eye-catching finish and cleverly echoed in the fireplace in the dining room which the kitchen sits open plan to.

The dining room is a versatile and has ample space, not only for a table and chairs but also a desk sits nicely at the window which the current owner uses as a work space. A door from the dining room neatly hides the stairs that rise to the first-floor landing, and another door opens the lounge.

The lounge is equally beautifully finished and is dominated by a fantastic feature fireplace set onto a central chimney breast. A corner sofa has effectively blocked the main front door but if a buyer preferred to access the home this way the room can be configured to suit.

To the first floor the principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the home and benefits from a wall of fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is also a double and has an over stairs cupboard which provides further wardrobe and storage space.

Finally, on the first floor is a large bathroom which comprises a four-piece white suite including a separate shower cubicle, bath, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin. A large airing cupboard accommodates the regularly serviced boiler.

To the front of the home parking bays provide on street parking. At the rear is an attractively presented but low maintenance garden, with sections of shingle and slate pieces providing areas for outdoor furniture ideal for entertaining family and friends or just relaxing and enjoying a drink in the summer sunshine. The garden also offers access to two outbuildings that offer more useful storage and utility space.

This is a wonderful home that will appeal to first time buyers, professional couples and would also suit those looking to downsize and wanting to be close to local services. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
