6 bed detached house for sale

Long Meadow, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This exceptional six bedroom detached family home occupies a generous plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position on the popular Harcourt estate. Offered with no upward chain this home has been substantially improved and added to by the current owners including a full loft conversion that accommodates two extra bedrooms, two conservatories, a main one to the rear and a further one to the side both of which have air conditioning as well as the addition of a ground floor shower room giving the home three bathrooms. The home is therefore very flexible with the way spaces can be used but ideally suited to large families needing more than four bedrooms. Those wishing to accommodate extended family and also those where more than one family member regularly works from home. The property is well presented throughout, conveniently positioned for a plethora of local amenities and for those who do commute, there are excellent road links in close proximity that provide access to various destinations.

Access to the home is via a covered porch and through a main front door into an entrance hall. The hallway has stairs rising to the first floor and doors off to the lounge, kitchen diner, ground floor shower room and study.

The main lounge is a generous reception room with ample space for an array of living room and display furniture and a bay window to the rear elevation. The main focal points of the room is a feature fireplace, vertically hung radiator and a set of double doors that open to the kitchen diner.

The kitchen diner is also an impressive space with an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units, solid granite work surfaces and inset sink. There is space for a range cooker, space for an American style fridge/freezer housed in its own pantry style unit and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. The dining area has plenty of space for a large table and chairs and a set of sliding patio doors that open to the main conservatory. The second conservatory can also be accessed via the kitchen.

The main conservatory provides additional reception space and enjoys views over the garden to the rear. The conservatory is large and useable throughout the year due to the installation, by the current owners, of air conditioning a feature shared with the second conservatory to the side of the home. This feature not only provides pleasant cooling in the summer but also valuable heating in the winter months.

The second conservatory is versatile, it offers covered side access from front to back, provides additional utility space and is generally just a really useful extra space.

Finally, on the ground floor is a separate study room, which is ideal for those working from home as it means the bedrooms do not have to be compromised as work spaces other than by choice. There is also a refitted ground floor shower room.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a refitted en-suite shower room. The principal bedroom also has air conditioning. Bedrooms Two and Three are both doubles and overlook the garden to the rear, whilst bedroom four is a single bedroom. Also, on the first floor, is a refitted family bathroom which comprises a three piece suite to include a bath, low flush WC and wash hand basin.

Another set of stairs from the first floor landing lead up to the loft conversion where there are two additional bedrooms. The fifth bedroom is a spacious double room with skylight windows to both front and rear. The sixth bedroom is a smaller single room and is currently used as an office space.

To the front of the home a large driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles as well as direct car access to the detached garage. The garage has been partially converted by the current owners into a workout studio but could very easily be returned to its original state. The garage, like the conservatories and main bedroom also benefits from air conditioning. Behind the garage, there is a further storage room.

At the rear is a private and relatively low maintenance garden with timber decked patio seating area and a lawn enclosed by tall timber panel fencing.

This really is a fabulous family home in an enviable position and giving any potential purchaser that extra space and flexibility not found in more traditional four bedroom examples. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space, layout and potential this property holds.
