Repton Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This impressively extended four bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a generous corner plot within a sought after residential area. The home is well placed for a plethora of local amenities including supermarkets, a wide variety of smaller shops, services and eateries as well as leisure and medical centres. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester, and around the ring road toward Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69. For those buyers who work from home the property does provide options to create office/study space. The two-storey extension to the side of the home has created an enlarged kitchen and dining area on the ground floor and above a principal bedroom with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. The home is well presented throughout and holds wide ranging appeal for families of various ages and numbers.

Access to the home is via a large porch, which is another addition to the home. As well as aiding energy efficiency the porch is ideal for dropping off the weekly shop in poor weather. The porch opens to a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first-floor landing and a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Off the hallway, are doors through to the lounge and kitchen diner.

The lounge is a spacious dual aspect room which is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to windows to both front and rear elevations. Formally a through lounge diner, the extension has negated the need for the lounge to accommodate a dining table and chairs so is now a larger sitting room. The is plenty of space for sofas, armchairs and freestanding storage and display furniture.

The kitchen diner is also a fabulous space again with windows to both front and rear. The kitchen itself includes an extensive range and base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and half bowl stainless-steel sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, with extractor over, built-in double electric oven, dishwasher and under counter fridge and freezer. In addition, there is space and plumbing for a washing machine. The dining area is in the extended section of the room and has ample space for a large table and chairs.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous double room which benefits from both an en-suite shower room and adjacent walk-in wardrobe. Bedrooms Two and Three were original two double bedrooms prior to extension. Bedroom Two is situated toward the front of the home with Bedroom Three overlooking the garden. Both bedrooms have ample space for ranges of freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The fourth bedroom is a single room and offers the versatility to be used as an office if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, there is a family bathroom which comprises a three-piece white suite including a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a magnificent block paved driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and could easily accommodate a caravan or motorhome if required. A walled front garden serves to enhance the homes kerb appeal. There is timber-built garage/outbuilding to the side of the property which offers useful additional storage and utility space. At the rear is a relatively low maintenance garden with a lawn sandwiched between a paved patio seating area and a further timber decked section at the top of the garden.

This is a fabulous family home worthy of serious consideration. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate the space it offers and the further potential to be unlocked by a new owner.
