Grange Road, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This property is offered for sale through the Modern Method of Auction which is operated by Iamsold Limited.

This three bedroom semi-detached home occupies a generous plot within a sought after residential area within walking distance of Knighton Park. The home is offered with no upward chain and does require renovation and modernisation throughout. However, with the plot allowing scope for significant extension and the home needing work there is a huge opportunity for any buyer to add immediate and substantial value to the home post purchase. The property is well placed for a plethora of local amenities with supermarkets, a variety of smaller shops and services as well as leisure and medical centres all only a short drive away. The accommodation is generally well-proportioned and is versatile and once refurbishment has been completed will appeal to a wide range of potential buyers. Commuters will appreciate excellent road links into the city of Leicester whilst those that work from home will find options to create office space either within the existing property or out in the garden which is large enough to comfortably accommodate a bespoke garden office if required.

Access to the home is via a porch, which in turn leads through to a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing, a useful understairs storage cupboard and doors through to the lounge and kitchen diner.

The lounge is generous and filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large bay window to the front elevation. The main focal point of the room is a painted exposed brick feature fireplace with an older gas fire, which is likely to be changed but the addition of a feature wood burner or living flame gas fire would be ideal for cosy winter evenings.

The kitchen and dining area sit open plan to each other which is many buyers preferred layout. The kitchen is functional in the short term but is likely to be replaced by most purchasers. There is currently a range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer, the is space for a cooker with extractor over and space and plumbing for a washing machine. The dining area has ample space for a large dining table and chairs and has a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden.

To the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a further single bedroom. The two double bedrooms both benefit from fitted wardrobes, drawers and overhead storage. The third single bedroom offers the flexibility to be used as a study or office if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

These bedrooms are serviced by a wet room which comprises a three-piece suite to include a shower area, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a driveway provides off-road parking, and a low maintenance garden means the driveway could be enlarged to accommodate an additional vehicle. There is also secure gated side access to the rear.

At the rear is a very impressively sized garden but it is a space that will require extensive clearing before any landscaping can be undertaken. However, once cleared that garden would allow for sizeable extension and/or the erection of a bespoke outbuilding without compromising too much of the outside space.

This is a superb opportunity to purchase a home with outstanding potential and internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate all the future possibilities it holds.
