Little Dale, Wigston, LE18

Set on a quiet close in Wigston, this detached three bedroom home pairs a thoughtfully upgraded interior with an insulated double garage, generous parking and a sociable rear garden.

It makes a smart first impression. A wide tarmac driveway edged in block paving gives parking for several cars. Black bollard lights, slate chippings and clipped box balls line the frontage, and a classic bay window sits beneath a tiled canopy. Twin black electric roller doors front the double garage, and a navy composite door opens into a porch with a feature brick-effect wall and mirrored metro tiling.

The hallway sets the tone for the rest of the house. A bespoke bronze-finish storage unit with a built-in seat sits alongside a slim anthracite column radiator, and wood-effect tiled flooring runs through. Just off the hall, the cloakroom has had real care spent on it. There’s a wall-hung WC, a chrome designer towel rail, ribbed grey wall tiles and a full wall of patterned encaustic-style tiles.

The lounge is the heart of the house. At nearly 20ft, it has windows on two sides and a cushioned seat built into the bay. One wall is navy, and the opposite wall is a bespoke media wall with display shelving either side. A ceiling scattered with spotlights and tall anthracite radiators finish the room. The sitting room at the back is air-conditioned and flows straight into the conservatory, which easily takes a six-seater dining table. French doors open out to the patio, so it works for family meals in winter and for summer evenings with the doors thrown open.

The kitchen is fitted with white gloss units, oak-effect worktops and deep navy metro tiling, with under-cabinet lighting. There’s an eye-level double oven, a gas hob with an extractor over, and space for a dishwasher and a fridge freezer. The utility beyond matches the kitchen, houses the boiler and has a door to the garden. The garage measures over 24ft and has been fully insulated and fitted out with slatwall storage, wall cabinets, and a worktop over the washing machine and tumble dryer. It’s a practical space that could easily take on other uses.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are doubles, and there’s a storage cupboard off the landing. The principal bedroom runs across the back of the house with windows on two sides. It has a full-height upholstered headboard wall and fitted sliding wardrobes with a mirrored centre panel. Its en suite shower room is finished in large-format stone-effect tiles, with a black-framed Crittall-style screen, a chrome designer towel rail and a vanity basin. The second bedroom has fitted overbed wardrobes. The third has a fitted corner desk, so it can easily double as a home office. The family bathroom has a whirlpool bath with a rainfall shower and black-framed screen, a geometric feature wall, matt black fittings and plinth lighting.

The rear garden is a real asset. A wide porcelain patio wraps around the back of the house and garage, with plenty of room for outdoor seating and dining. Beyond it is a broad lawn, and raised sleeper beds and mature trees run along the black-stained boundary fencing.

Wigston has a good range of everyday shops, cafés and services along Bell Street and Leicester Road, with well-regarded local schools nearby. Oadby is a short drive away. Leicester city centre is under three miles off, with Highcross, the Cultural Quarter and the mainline station, which reaches London St Pancras in just over an hour. South Wigston station is close by for local rail links, and the M1 and A6 are both easy to reach.
