This two bedroom semi-detached bungalow is offered with no upward chain and occupies a private plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position. Conveniently located for Wigston's main parade of shops, supermarkets and eateries, the home is also conveniently located for access to medical and leisure facilities. The home does require modernisation throughout but does offer any buyer the opportunity to add significant and immediate value through refurbishment and/or extension.
The accommodation itself includes an entrance hall which is accessed via a front door to the side of the bungalow and has a useful built-in storage/cloakroom cupboard. The layout is typical of many of the other semi-detached bungalows found in the immediate area.
The lounge is a generous dual aspect space with a large window to the front elevation and a further window to the side that fills the space with plenty of natural light. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace which is inset to the exterior wall and has a raised hearth.
The kitchen is likely to be updated by many buyers but is certainly functional and useable in the short term. The kitchen contains a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless steel double sink unit. There is an integral gas hob with extractor over and built-in electric oven. There is also under counter space for a fridge and freezer. There is a large window to the side and a back door that opens to a covered utility area which has power as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. This space could be more formally extended in order to increase the size of the existing kitchen or to create a small dining or breakfast space. A further door in the utility area opens to the garden.
The principal bedroom is a well proportioned double room which has a window to the front elevation and a large built-in double wardrobe. The second bedroom is a versatile room which could be used as another reception room, hobby room or office space if not required as a bedroom on a day-to-day basis. A set of French patio doors open to a timber framed conservatory.
The conservatory has a quarry tiled floor and an aluminium sliding patio door that provides an alternative access point into the rear garden.
Finally, there is a fully tiled wet room comprising a three piece suite to include the shower area, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.
To the front of the home a driveway provides ample off-road parking and continues down the side of the bungalow to the garage/outbuilding. The previous owner struggled with the main up and over garage door so replaced it for a personal door but this change could easily be reversed. The garage offers useful workshop and storage space and could be used to accommodate a mobility scooter if required.
At the rear there is a low maintenance garden with a paved patio seating area and a shingle section ideal for standing potted plants to add colour and structure.
It does not take much imagination to appreciate just how charming this bungalow could become. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the home's position, size of plot and the future potential it holds.
