2 bed bungalow for sale

Brixham Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This property is offered for sale through the Modern Method of Auction which is operated by Iamsold Limited.

This two double bedroom detached bungalow occupies a generous plot within a sought after residential area on the Wigston/Knighton border. Offered with no upward chain the bungalow is neatly presented and largely a blank canvass ready for a new owner to make their mark. The home is well positioned for a wide selection of local amenities with large supermarkets, an array of smaller shops and services as well as leisure and medical centres all within a short drive or bus ride away. The home will appeal to anyone looking to downsize as well as those who now require single storey living.

Access to the home is via a main front door that opens to a small porch area and in turn, through a further door, that leads into an entrance hall. The entrance hall has a built-in airing cupboard and doors that open to all rooms except for the conservatory.

The lounge is situated toward the rear of the bungalow and is spacious with plenty of room for a range of living room furniture. A large window provides plenty of natural light even with the conservatory behind. The main focal point of the room is an electric fire that sits within a feature fireplace.

The kitchen sits adjacent to the lounge toward the rear. The kitchen has a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work-surfaces and a one and a half bowl stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is space for a freestanding cooker but there is a built-in extractor hood over. There is also undercounter space for a fridge and plumbing for a washing machine. Further storage is offered by a walk-in pantry cupboard, which could also accommodate a freestanding fridge freezer. There is a window to the rear and a back door which leads into the conservatory.

The conservatory runs the full width of the bungalow to the rear. The conservatory is versatile and could be used as a second reception room or dining area or a combination of both. A door from the conservatory opens to the garden. Alternatively, with plenty of garden to work with, the conservatory could be replaced by a more formal extension to the rear subject to local planning.

The bedrooms are toward the front of the bungalow. There are of almost identical size meaning either could be used as the principal bedroom with the other making a very comfortable guest bedroom. They are both double rooms with ample space for a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers.

Finally, there is a fully tiled shower/wet room which comprises a three piece suite to include a walk-in shower with fixed screen, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit.

To the front of the home is a shingle garden that means the bungalow is set well back from the street. The shingle garden is bordered by hedges which give a pleasant kerb appeal. Adjacent to the front garden is a paved driveway that provides off-road parking and runs down the side of the bungalow to a detached single garage.

At the rear is a well-proportioned garden. Before the home was marketed the garden had become very overgrown. The garden has been completely cleared before the sale and is ready to be landscaped. This means the garden can be made as low or as high maintenance as desired. The garden does have a timber-built storage shed.

This delightful bungalow will hold wide ranging appeal and internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space and further potential the home has to offer.
