2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Barge Close, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This wonderful two bedroom semi-detached home has been much loved and cared for by the current owners over several years. During their time they have comprehensively improved the home including refitting both kitchen and bathroom as well as a plethora of decorative and below the surface features. The home is within easy reach of a large range of amenities. Large supermarkets, diy stores, smaller shops and eateries are within walking distance. Leisure and Medical centres are also just a short drive away.

Access to the home is via a main front door that opens to an entrance area which sits open plan to the main lounge. The entrance provides useful cloakroom space and can accommodate a piece of freestanding storage furniture.

The entrance opens to the main lounge. The lounge is an excellent family room with a window to the front elevation and has the stairs that rise to the first floor landing. The current owners make the most of the space by having a corner sofa that sits neatly into the recess under the stairs. A door from the lounge opens to the kitchen diner.

The kitchen area has been refitted to a high standard with a range of modern high-gloss finish base and wall-mounted fitted units with solid oak hardwood surfaces and a composite quartz sink and drainer. Integral appliances include a 'Neff' induction hob and built-in 'Neff' slide and hide self-cleaning oven underneath. There is space for a freestanding fridge freezer, tumble dryer and plumbing for a washing machine. The dining area has room for a small table and chairs. The room is filled with natural light due to French patio doors that open to the garden and a further window to the rear.

To the first floor the principal bedroom is a double room with a window to the front. The room benefits from a built-in over stairs wardrobe with shelf storage. The second bedroom is a single bedroom, with the current owners having a bunk bed. For couples and singles with no children the second bedroom could be used as an office space or dressing room if required.

Finally, on the first floor, is a superb refitted bathroom which comprises a contemporary three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit.

A block paved driveway running down the side of the home and provides ample off-road parking and can easily accommodate a trade van size vehicle and a car. There is gated side access from the drive to the rear.

At the rear is a good size and relatively low maintenance garden that is enclosed by recently replaced tall timber panel fencing with concrete skirts and pillars. The garden is ideal for entertaining and relaxing on a paved patio seating area with a lawn providing space for youngsters to play. The garden also houses a garage sized and very useful timber-built storage shed.

This is a delightful home which holds wide ranging appeal, although perhaps best suited to first time buyers, professional couples and those potentially looking to downsize. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate all it has to offer.
