Ravensthorpe Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This charming and significantly extended three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a plot within a sought after residential area. Offered with no upward chain the home is very well presented throughout with the extension to the rear accommodating a modern and spacious kitchen diner. The home is well place for a plethora of amenities including supermarkets, a variety of smaller shops, services and eateries as well as Wigston's leisure and medical centres. The home is also within the catchment for the highly regarded Meadows Community Primary School. The property has wide ranging appeal but is probably best suited to first time purchasers, young families and even those looking to downsize, whilst retaining easy access to local amenities. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and for those that work from home the property does provide options to create office or working spaces.

Access to the home is via a main front door that opens to an entrance area with stairs rising to the first-floor landing and doors through to the lounge, kitchen diner and ground floor shower room.

The lounge is situated toward the front of the home and is a light dual aspect room with windows to both front and side elevations. The main focal point of the room is a charming feature fireplace with carved timber mantelpiece set onto a central chimney breast. The room has ample space for sofas, armchairs as well as freestanding storage and display furniture.

The kitchen diner is again filled with plenty of natural light thanks to windows to both the side and the rear. The kitchen itself has been moved to the extended part of the room and includes an extensive range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is a full range of integrated appliances including a ceramic hob with extractor over, built-in eye-level combination oven and microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. A back door provides access to the rear.

The dining area has ample room for a large table and chairs ideal for family occasions and dinner parties with friends. There are two useful under stair storage cupboards and again the room could easily accommodate further freestanding furniture.

The ground floor shower room is fully tiled and refitted to comprise a contemporary three-piece white suite to include a large corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and wall-mounted wash hand basin and vanity unit.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is situated toward the front of the home and is a generous double room. The current owner has thoughtfully converted one of two large storage cupboards into a WC and wash hand basin for added convenience. The second cupboard remains for wardrobe/storage space. The second bedroom is also a spacious double with a window overlooking the garden. The room has ample space for freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The third bedroom, although the smallest can also accommodate a double bed and offers the versatility to be used as an office space if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

The home has a pleasing kerb appeal due to a neatly tended front garden interspersed with manicured hedges and a single tree. The garden means the home is set well back from the pavement. Adjacent to the front garden is a driveway that provides ample off-road parking. At the rear is a private and low maintenance garden which is paved and offers an ideal space to sit, relax and enjoy a drink in the summer months.

This really is a wonderful home and internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space, position and quality of presentation.
