3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Ruskington Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This stunning and significantly extended three bedroom semi-detached family home represents a masterclass in modern design which will suit a wide range of potential buyers. Occupying a highly attractive plot that backs out onto Oadby golf course the home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities and is within walking distance of Knighton Park. Supermarkets, smaller shops, a variety of eateries and both leisure and medical centres are all only a short drive or bus ride away. For those who commute, there are excellent roads links into the city of Leicester and for those that work from home, the current owners have part converted the garage which has created a garden office.

Access to the home is via a composite front door that opens to an entrance hall, where the quality of presentation and finish is immediately evident. The entrance hall has stairs rising to the first floor landing and doors that open to the lounge and kitchen diner. The original under stairs storage cupboard has been converted by the owners into a modern WC and wash hand basin giving the ground floor facilities not found in many of the neighbouring houses.

The lounge is spacious and filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large bay window to the front. The windows throughout the home have been replaced by the current owners during their time in the property. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace that is set onto the angled chimney breast commonly found locally in these Jelson built houses of the 1950s. A set of folding doors from the lounge open to a spectacular extended kitchen diner.

The kitchen diner was created by knocking through the original small kitchen into the adjacent dining area. The current owners have then also added a full width rear extension with large skylight window resulting in a stunning room that is the heartbeat of this home. The kitchen includes an extensive range of base and wall-mounted fitted units including a kitchen island with high quality quartz work surfaces and inset sink. There is space for a large range cooker with extractor hood over, and space for an American style fridge/freezer housed in its own pantry style unit. Integral appliances include a dishwasher and microwave. The dining area has ample space for a large table and chairs, ideal for mealtimes, youngsters to do their homework and to entertain family and friends. In fact, when the folding doors between the lounge and kitchen are fully open, the ground floor can be made largely open plan resulting in a superb space for larger social gatherings.

Off the kitchen and part of the extension is a separate utility room with base units matching those found in the kitchen a one and a half bowl composite sink and drainer and space and plumbing for a washer dryer. A back door provides access to the rear garden.

The first floor echoes the quality and decorative finish found on the ground floor. The principal bedroom is the largest of two double bedrooms that has room for a super king size bed and benefits from a quality range of fitted wardrobes and storage. The second bedroom enjoys views over the garden and the golf course beyond. Again, there is a wall of fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom is a versatile single bedroom which makes a super nursery and could be utilised as a work space of dressing room if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, there is a refitted family bathroom. The bathroom is a dual aspect room with windows to both side and rear. The bathroom comprises a modern three-piece white suite that includes a bath with rainforest shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit.

To the front of the home a magnificent block paved driveway that provides ample off-road parking and gives the property an impressive kerb appeal. An EV charging point future proofs the ever increasing use of electric vehicles. There is then secure gated side access to the rear of the home.

The garage has been partially converted. The front part of the garage is dedicated to storage and can accommodate bikes and garden tools and equipment. The back half of the garage has been turned into a fully insulated garden office, with light, power and internet access. This will be appreciated by anyone working from home and means no room within the home has to be compromised.

The garden itself has again been thoughtfully landscaped to suit both the requirements of adults and children alike. For the grown-ups there are two paved patio seating areas, one immediately outside the extension and the other situated toward the back of the garden connected by a path allowing the sun to be followed during the day. For children the is a bark chipping play area and a lawn. Planted beds add a splash of colour. A gate from the garden provides private access to the golf course which residents are welcome to use when the golf club is closed.

This fabulous family home has a real wow factor and is one of the best examples we have had the privilege of marketing. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate all it has to offer.
