3 bed detached house for sale

Wells Avenue, Kilby, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This spacious three bedroom detached family home occupies a stunning and generous plot at the head of an intimate Cul-de-Sac within the sought after village of Kilby. The home was formally a four bedroom detached property but the current owners decided to remove the diving wall between the main and fourth bedroom which has resulted in a fabulous dual aspect principal bedroom. The extensive gardens to both front and rear mean the home could be substantially extended in a variety of directions without compromising too much of the outside space. The home has been well looked after and has many delightful quirky features. However, in the is plot, position and future potential that will be of particular interest for many buyers.

The accommodation includes a porch, which is an addition made by the current owner. The porch, in turn, opens to an entrance hall, off which is a useful cloakroom/storage cupboard and a ground floor WC. A door from the entrance hall leads through to a fantastic lounge diner. This superb feature room has main focal point of an exposed brick central chimney which the lounge and dining area surround. The room is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden, a further floor to ceiling window also to the rear elevation and two additional windows to the front and side. There is ample room for an extensive range of lounge, dining and display furniture.

From the lounge diner you enter the adjacent kitchen which is also a large dual aspect space with windows at either end to front and rear. The kitchen includes a range of individually styled base and wall mounted fitted units providing generous storage space, with roll edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. Integral appliances include a ceramic hob, built-in double electric oven fridge and slimline dishwasher. There is also a washing machine. The kitchen also has a delightful breakfast area with room for a small table and chairs positioned directly behind the front window.

A conservatory sits off the kitchen and provides an alternative access point to the garden as well as some additional utility space. The current owner uses this space to accommodate a freestanding freezer.

A flight of stairs in the lounge rise to a first floor landing with doors off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a magnificent space spanning the full length of the home with windows at either end which, again provide natural light. As previously mentioned, this room was made larger through the removal of a stud wall and compromise of an original fourth bedroom. This wall and access could easily be reinstated if a fourth bedroom was required, but there would be options to create an en-suite or dressing area if desired. The bedroom also benefits from a large built-in double wardrobe and a smaller single built-in wardrobe that did belong to the fourth bedroom.

The second bedroom is also a double room which enjoys views over the garden. This room also has a large built-in wardrobe. The third bedroom, also a double, provides the versatility to be used as an office or study space if not required as a bedroom on a day-to-day basis.

Finally, there is a family bathroom which comprises a four piece suite to include a separate shower cubicle, a corner bath with tap head shower attachment, low flush WC and wash hand basin set onto a vanity unit.

To the outside, a driveway offers off-road parking for up to four vehicles as well as direct car access to a double garage which has light and power and a remote operated electric up and over main door. The mature and well-tended gardens wrap around the home and create a pleasant setting. The gardens are generous with a lawn interspersed with a plethora of small trees, shrubs and flowering plants that add colour. The hedges that surround the plot provide privacy and seclusion.

This wonderful family home occupies an enviable plot and although already an impressive property does offer any potential buyer magnificent future potential. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
