3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Lynmouth Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This much loved bay fronted three bedroom semi-detached family home has not been on the market since it was built in 1960. Situated within a highly sought after residential area on the Wigston/Knighton border the property is very well presented and meticulously looked after and is ready for a new owner to make their own. The plot would allow scope for extension both to the rear and to the side subject to local planning. The home is well placed for a plethora of local amenities with large supermarkets, an array of smaller shops and services as well as leisure and medical facilities all only a short drive or bus ride away. Commuters will enjoy excellent road links into the city centre and toward Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69, whilst those that work from home will appreciate the home is versatile enough to create office space if required.

Access to the home is via a small porch which in turn leads through to a welcoming entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor landing, useful under stair storage cupboards and doors through to the lounge diner and kitchen.

The lounge and dining area sit open plan to each other and is a dual aspect space with a large bay window to the front elevation and a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden that fill the space with plenty of natural light. The main focal point of the lounge is a fantastic feature fireplace with flame effect electric fire that sits onto a central chimney breast. The dining area has ample room for a large dining table and chairs. The room can comfortably accommodate a range of sofas, armchairs and freestanding storage and display furniture.

The kitchen was made larger through the clever reconfiguration of former outbuildings many years ago which makes a significant difference to its size. The kitchen includes a modern range of soft close base and wall-mounted fitted units with a high-gloss finish. Integrated appliances include a ceramic hob with extractor over and built-in double oven underneath. There is also an integrated dishwasher. In addition, there is space for a freestanding freezer, undercounter space for a fridge as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine. The window to the rear overlooks the garden and with the kitchen being larger there is space for a breakfast table and chairs. A door from the kitchen opens to a lobby, off which is a ground floor WC and opposite a door that opens to the garage. There is also back door that offers access to the side and rear of the home.

To the first floor, the landing has a window to the side elevation at the top of the stairs, it also has a large and deep storage cupboard over the stairs. The landing also provides access to the loft space which also offers additional storage space.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room which enjoys views over the garden. The room benefits from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is also a superb double room and could be used as the main bedroom, if preferred. The second bedroom benefits from the bay window and again has a wall of fitted wardrobes, overhead storage and dressing table. The third bedroom is a versatile single room that is currently presented as a bedroom but could be used as an office space or dressing room if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, on the first floor, is a family bathroom that comprises a three-piece suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a smart block paved driveway and a shingle front garden surrounded by planted beds containing a variety of shrubs and plants give the home a pleasing kerb appeal. The driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles as well as direct car access to the garage. The garage itself has light and power and if not used for parking provides extra storage and utility space. The garage could also be converted if further ground floor accommodation is required and could be built over to create an additional bedroom.

At the rear is an attractive and neatly presented garden. There are two patio seating areas at either end of the garden, both of which, can accommodate a range of outdoor furniture ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing in the warmer months. A lawn is flanked by mature and well-stocked planted borders containing a variety of flora that provide colour and structure to the garden.

This is a wonderful and very well looked after family home in a superb position. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate all it has to offer.
