2 bed flat for sale

Parlour Close, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This delightful two bedroom first floor retirement flat is offered with no upward chain and is situated within a purpose built Over 55s development. The flat is beautifully presented throughout with several individual designs and decorative features and has obviously been well loved and cared for. In addition, both the kitchen and bathroom have been refitted from their original specifications. Within walking distance of Wigston's main parade of shops, services, and eateries the flat is also near larger supermarkets and both medical and leisure centres. Access to the home is via a shared entrance with the neighbouring flat and via a flight of stairs or stairlift (which is already in place, however the stairlift is owned by the local council and an application does have to be made to the council for its use so it can be serviced properly) up to the main front door of the apartment itself.

The accommodation includes an entrance hall, off which, is a large storage/cloakroom cupboard as well as an airing cupboard. There are then doors off to all rooms apart from the kitchen, which is accessed via an ornate, corniced archway.

There is a spacious dual aspect lounge with two windows to both front and side elevations that fill the room with plenty of natural light. The main focal point of the room is an elegant feature fireplace with raised hearth on which stands an electric fire. Further decorative details include patterned coving and embossed wall plaques that complement the style of the fireplace. There is ample room for a range of lounge and display furniture.

The kitchen has a range of base units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer. There is an integral hob but no oven as the previous owner preferred to use either a microwave or air fryer. There is space for a fridge/freezer as well as plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen also has room for a small table and a couple of chairs ideal for breakfast.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room with a window to the front elevation. Again, beautifully decorated the room benefits from a large built-in double wardrobe. The bedroom still has space for further freestanding furniture. The second bedroom is versatile and could be used as a snug, formal dining room, dressing room or a hobby room if not required as a bedroom.

Finally, there is a refitted bathroom which comprises a bath low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin. The bathroom also has a heated towel rail.

To the outside there is resident parking available and well-tended communal gardens, which are maintained as part of the monthly service charges but can be nurtured and tended by the individual owners as shown by some of the marketing photographs.

This is a delightful flat in a fantastic position for those who want to stay close to a plethora of local amenities. Internal viewing is highly recommended.

Agent Note:

Some of the larger items of furniture and the white goods in the kitchen are available by separate negotiation or as part of an offer.
