The wonderful two bedroom semi-detached home occupies a mature and private plot within a sought after residential area. The current owners are offering there 55% share in the home with the remaining 45% owned by Platform Housing Association. The position of the plot adjacent to a spillway for the estate means it is significantly larger than many of the neighbouring properties. The home has been much loved and very well cared for by the current owners over several years. During their time they have comprehensively improved the home including a refitted boiler, decorative improvements and extensive landscaping of the garden which is obviously their pride and joy. The home is within easy reach of a large range of amenities. Large supermarkets, smaller shops, services and eateries are all within walking distance. Wigston's leisure and medical centres are also just a short drive away.

Access to the home is via a main front door that opens to an entrance area which sits open plan to the main lounge. The entrance provides useful cloakroom space and can accommodate a piece of freestanding storage furniture.

The entrance opens to the main lounge. The lounge is an excellent family room with a window to the front elevation and has the stairs that rise to the first floor landing. The current owners make the most of the space by having a sofa that sits neatly into the recess under the stairs. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace with solid timber mantelpiece. A door from the lounge opens to the kitchen diner.

The kitchen area has been refitted to a high standard with a range of modern high-gloss finish base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a porcelain sink and drainer. Integral appliances include a ceramic hob, with extractor over and a built-in electric oven underneath. There is space for a tall freestanding fridge freezer, tumble dryer and plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen also accommodates a combination boiler fitted as recently as 2022. A back door opens to a covered seating area that was created by the owners and provides a cosy and sheltered place to relax and read or enjoy a drink.

To the first floor the principal bedroom is a double room with a window to the front. The room benefits from a built-in over stairs cupboard and has ample space for freestanding wardrobes and drawers The second bedroom is versatile and can accommodate a double bed but as a single bedroom provides more space for additional furniture. If not required as a bedroom day-to-day, the room could also be used as an office space if required.

Finally, on the first floor, is a family bathroom which comprises a three-piece suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and a pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a driveway provides off-road parking. Adjacent to the drive is a well-tended front garden with beds that are stocked with small trees, shrubs, conifers and flowering plants that result in a pleasing kerb appeal.

At the rear is a fabulous garden containing an array of flora including fruit trees, acers, ferns and flowering plants that provide colour, structure and privacy. Timber decking to the rear and to the side of the home offer varying seating areas that can accommodate outdoor furniture. The garden also benefits from a greenhouse, timber-built storage shed and a charming little summer house. It is a wonderful space to be enjoyed during the warmer months. Also noticed from the rear are the solar panels fitted to the roof. These provide electricity direct to the grid but have a dramatic effect both on the home's energy rating and to household bills.

This is a delightful home and would be ideal for anyone looking to take their first steps onto the property ladder. Anyone looking for shared ownership properties should be giving this opportunity serious consideration.
