Leicester Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This impressive and imposing five double bedroom detached family home occupies a generous and private plot on the corner of Leicester Road and Milverton Drive, one of Wigston's private roads. The home is spacious and has been significantly improved by the current owners including a magnificent refitted kitchen and bathroom. The property is well placed for a wide selection of local amenities with large supermarkets, a plethora of smaller shops, services and eateries, as well as leisure and medical centres all just a short drive or bus ride away. Commuters will enjoy excellent road links into the city of Leicester and around the ring road toward Fosse Park whilst buyers that work from home will find that home provides plenty of options to create office spaces. The property is already remarkably proportioned, but the plot would allow scope for further extension without compromising too much of the outside space and subject to local planning.

Access to the home is via a smart composite front door that opens to an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing, a useful under stairs storage cupboard and doors through to the lounge and dining room.

The lounge is a spacious dual aspect room filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large bay window to the front elevation and a further window to the side. The main focal point of the room is an exposed brick feature fireplace set onto a central chimney breast. There is plenty of room for sofas, armchairs and freestanding storage and display furniture.

The dining room is another well-proportioned reception space with ample room for a large table and chairs. The room has an eye-catching herring bone flooring and sliding patio doors that open to the driveway and again provide plenty of light. A door from the dining room opens to the kitchen.

The kitchen has been refitted to a very high standard and includes a range of high-gloss base and wall-mounted fitted units with square-edge work surfaces including a large island. There is space for a range cooker with extractor over and a bespoke pantry style unit that accommodates an American style fridge/freezer. In addition, there is an integrated dishwasher. The kitchen also provides access to a large conservatory and to the double garage.

The conservatory gives the home a third reception space and is presented as another sitting room where views over the sizeable garden can be enjoyed.

The double garage is deceptive. Not only does it provide the usual parking and storage space, but it also accommodates a utility area, with additional sink unit and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a ground floor shower room. Ideal for children after football practice or wet and muddy pets. The shower room includes a large walk-in shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
The garage also benefits from a remote operated main roller door.

On the first floor, all the bedrooms can be comfortably described as doubles and all benefit from some form of fitted or built-in wardrobe space. The principal bedroom and bedroom three are both dual aspect rooms and the second bedroom has a large bay window to the front. One or more of the bedrooms could be used for office or study space if not required as bedrooms day-to-day.

The bedrooms are serviced by a stunning refitted family bathroom which comprises a four piece white suite to including a large corner shower cubicle, fabulous roll-top bath, low flush WC and a wall mounted vanity unit on which sits a wash hand basin. The bathroom also has fitted storage units. In addition to the bathroom there is a further separate WC and wash hand basin helping to avoid those morning bathroom queues.

The home has a huge hard standing driveway that provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The plot also extends beyond the fenceline with further parking available off-Milverton Drive itself. A caravan or motorhome could also easily be accommodated. At the rear is an impressive garden with paved patio seating area and an expanse of lawn that is surrounded by well-stocked planted borders.

This is a magnificent family home ideal for larger families and those wishing to house extended family members. Internal viewing is highly advised to truly appreciate the plot, the internal space and quality of presentation.
