Pentridge Close, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This remarkable, detached family home occupies a generous corner plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position on the ever popular Little Hill estate. This is the first time this home has been on the market since being built in the early 1970s. What sets this particular property apart from other substantially extended family home is the fact that the two-story extension to the side of the home has been configured to accommodate an annexe complete with its own kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom. This is ideal for anyone looking to house extended family, a child who may require frequent care but needs a feeling of independence, or those who might be looking to benefit from a lodger or advertise though Air B&B. The annexe can be accessed via a door to the side of the property so can be completely separated from the main part of the house but can also be entered internally via lockable door from the main kitchen. With a second staircase the annexe can offer truly independent living which is a feature that is often requested but rarely available. Although the annexe may prove invaluable to certain buyers the extension also means the property also works equally as well as a spacious four double bedroom family home.

The home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities and is within walking distance of the parade of shops on the Little Hill that include a Co-op supermarket and a Post Office. Further supermarkets, shops, services and eateries as well as Wigston's leisure and medical centres are only a short drive or bus ride away. The home is also within the catchment for the highly regarded Little Hill Primary School. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and toward Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69 and for those that work from home the property provides several options to create office spaces.

Access to the home is via a large porch, which in turn leads through to an entrance hall which has the stairs rising to the first floor landing, a large understairs storage cupboard and doors that open to the kitchen, lounge diner and a ground floor shower room.

The lounge diner has also been extended to include a sitting room that sits open plan to the dining area. The sitting room is versatile and could be used an office space as it would comfortably accommodate a large desk and chair. The main focal point of the lounge is a flame effect gas fire that sits within a feature fireplace. The room is generous and has plenty of space for sofas, a dining table and chairs as well as freestanding storage and display furniture.

Off the lounge and adjacent to the extended sitting room is a conservatory, which offers further reception space and where views of the garden can be enjoyed.

The main kitchen has been refitted to a high standard and includes an extensive range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, mid-level double electric oven, fridge and freezer. A door from the kitchen opens to the second kitchen situates within the annexe.

The ground floor shower room is one of three bathrooms within the home and comprises a corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit.

The ground floor accommodation within the annexe includes a well-appointed kitchen which includes an additional sink and integrated hob and oven. This could be used as a spice kitchen or utility room. There is also a delightful lounge area with French patio doors opening to the garden and a feature fireplace. Stairs from the annexe lounge rise to a double bedroom which benefits from fitted wardrobes and a large bathroom.

To the first floor of the main house there are three further double bedrooms, all benefitting from fitted wardrobes and overhead storage a spacious refitted shower room with large corner shower, low flush WC and wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a driveway provides off-road parking and direct car access to the garage which has light and power and an up and over main door. A front garden with planted border enhances the home's smart kerb appeal.

At the rear is a neatly presented and private garden with paved patio seating area ideal for outdoor furniture. A lawn is surrounded by well-stocked planted borders containing a variety of flora. A timber-built storage shed provides additional storage be tools and garden equipment. What is also evident from the rear of the property is the solar panels on the roof giving testimony to the southwest facing direction of the garden. These solar panels are owned and have a dramatic effect on household energy bills, something we are all increasingly conscious about.

This really is an impressive and highly versatile home and for those buyers looking for a home with an annexe is a must view. The home has obviously been much loved and cared for and is ready for a new owner to make their own.
