3 bed detached house for sale

Dorchester Close, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This wonderful three double bedroom detached family home occupies an attractive and neatly tended plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac location. Offered with no upward chain the home is well presented and has obviously been well looked after but it also provides any prospective buyer the opportunity to add further value especially through the modernisation of rooms such as the kitchen and/or the ability to extend the home subject to local planning. The home is well placed for a plethora of amenities with large supermarkets, an array of smaller shops, services and eateries, as well as leisure and medical centres all a short drive or bus ride away. The home is also within the catchment for both the highly regarded Little Hill and Thythorn Primary schools. Excellent road links provide access into the city of Leicester for those who commute and for those that work from home there are options to create work spaces within the home or garden. Finally for buyers enjoying an outdoor lifestyle there are short walks to open countryside and footpaths to the Grand Union Canal towpath.

Access to the home is via a large porch which is ideal for unloading the weekly shop in poor weather. The home can also be accessed via a door into the kitchen if preferred. The porch has a door that opens to the garage and another door that leads through to a generous and welcoming entrance hall. Off the hallway is a ground floor WC and wash hand basin. There are stairs rising to the first floor landing a good size under stairs storage cupboard and doors that open to the kitchen and the lounge diner.

The lounge diner is a superb reception room and filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large window that overlooks the garden and alongside a set of French patio doors. The main focal point of the room is an elevated feature fireplace inset into the external wall. There is ample space for sofas, a large dining table and chairs as well as freestanding storage and display furniture.

The kitchen is also well-proportioned and although likely to be updated by many buyers, is certainly very functional and in good working order. There is an extensive range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with plenty of work surface space and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is space for a freestanding cooker and undercounter space for a fridge, freezer and plumbing for a washing machine/dishwasher. A large window to the front has a very pleasant outlook to the front garden.

To the first floor, the three double bedrooms all benefit from either fitted or built-in wardrobe and cupboard space. The principal bedroom is the largest of the three and enjoys views over the rear garden. The second and third bedroom are comparable in terms of size and offer the versatility to be used as a rather handsome office or study if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

The bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom that comprises a three-piece white suite including a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

The home has a particularly pleasing kerb appeal with a lawned front garden with mature planted borders including lavender, shrubs and a single tree that give colour and structure. Adjacent to the garden is a block paved driveway that provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to the garage. The garage has light, power and a remote operated electric roller door. The garage, if not used for parking, offers useful additional storage and utility space and could also be converted if desired creating more ground floor space.

At the rear is a pleasant and relatively low maintenance family garden with a sweeping block paved patio seating area mirroring the front driveway. A neatly tended lawn is flanked by a planted border containing a variety of shrubs and flowering plants. More storage is provided by a timber-built storage shed.

This is a fantastic family home with wide ranging appeal. There is a wonderful feeling of space both within and around the home. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate its position, plot, presentation and future potential.
