4 bed detached house for sale

Bridport Close, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This spacious and well presented four bedroom detached family home occupies a generous plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position. Offered with no upward chain the home is conveniently located for a wide range of local amenities including various supermarkets, smaller shops and services as well as leisure and medical centres. For commuters there are excellent road links into the city of Leicester, Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69 and into South Wigston for the train station. Although already a substantial family home the plot would allow scope for significant extension either to the rear and over the double garage to the side of the home subject to local planning.

Access to the home is via a porch which was added by the current owners and it large enough to take the weekly shop in inclement weather but perhaps more importantly helps with heat efficiency. From the porch you continue into a generous entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor landing and doors through to the lounge, dining room and a useful ground floor WC, which also has storage via a tall floor to ceiling cupboard and vanity unit.

The main lounge is a generous dual aspect room with a full height window to the front elevation and a further window to the side. There is also a set of sliding patio doors that open to a conservatory. The main focal point of the room is a wood burning stove that is set into a feature fireplace on a centrally positioned chimney breast.

The conservatory provides a further reception space and is large enough to accommodate either a seating area or table and chairs. The conservatory has a brick base, an insulated roof and French doors that open to the rear and is an ideal place to sit and enjoy views of the garden during the warmer months.

A third reception space is the formal dining room which features a set of French patio doors leading out to the garden. An open doorway from the dining room leads through to the kitchen. For those buyers wishing to have a larger kitchen diner there is an obvious reconfiguration which would be to remove the partition wall between the kitchen and dining area that would create that more open plan space without the need to extend.

The kitchen itself has a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. Integral appliances include a gas hob with extractor over, built-in eye-level double electric oven and a fridge. The kitchen also accommodates the boiler which was only fitted three years ago. A window to the rear overlooks the garden and a back door leads out to a separate utility room.

The utility room not only has further base and wall mounted storage units, an additional sink and drainer and space and plumbing for a washing machine it also acts as a covered side access with a door to the driveway at the front and a door to the garden. There is also another door that opens to the double garage.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is the largest of the four and benefits from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and dressing table with drawers. An open archway leads into a clever en-suite facility, created through the replacement of a large built-in wardrobe, that has a shower cubicle and wash hand basin that is set onto a vanity unit.

The second bedroom is also a double room that enjoys views over the garden. This room also enjoys a range of fitted wardrobes and overhead storage.

The third and fourth bedrooms are both good size single bedrooms with bedroom three also having a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom Four was used as an office space and is ideal for those who work from home.

Finally, on the first floor, is a refitted family bathroom which comprises a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin again sitting on top of a vanity/storage unit.

To the front of the home a paved driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to the double garage. A further section of slate pieces could easily be used for extra parking if required. A raised bed in front of the property adds some greenery and enhances the home's kerb appeal. The double garage has light and power and a remote operated main door.

The rear garden is a fantastic family space that includes a large paved patio area that includes a section under a pergola type structure with brick-built seating area and pizza oven. There are further timber decked sections surrounding a lawn with planted borders and shrubberies containing a variety of flora. There is also a large timber-built workshop, with machinery and equipment that maybe available by separate negotiation should any buyer be interested, and a further useful storage shed.

This is already a wonderful family home that also has fantastic future potential and will appeal to a wide range of buyers and families of all age ranges. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate the space, plot and the future possibilities it holds.
