1 bed flat for sale

Bull Head Street, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This well presented one double bedroom second floor flat represents a chance for a prospective purchaser with a limited budget to step onto the property ladder. A 25% share is being offered with the remaining 75% owned by Platform Housing Association. The accommodation is well presented throughout and has been very well maintained by the current owner and will appeal to both singles and couples alike. The property is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities, many of which are within walking distance. A large supermarket, a variety of smaller shops, services and eateries as well as Wigston's medical and leisure centres are all readily accessible and if not walkable are all only a short drive or bus ride away. Commuters will appreciate excellent road links into the city of Leicester and for those that work from home there is space for a table and chairs within the main living area to set up a working space.

Access to the flat is via a secure telecom system which accesses a shared communal entrance with the other flats within the block. This particular flat is then up a flight of stairs to the main front door itself. For the current owner, being on the upper floor has always given a reassuring sense of security. As you enter the flat you are greeted by an entrance hall which has doors off to the bedroom, bathroom and main living space.

The main living space combines a kitchen area, lounge and dining space. With multiple windows to the front and side elevations the room is filled with plenty of natural light, and a built-in storage cupboard provides useful storage space.

The kitchen includes a range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, with extractor hood over and a built-in electric oven underneath. There is then space for a tall freestanding fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen also accommodates the boiler, meaning the flat is gas centrally heated, unlike many similar apartments which often rely on electric storage heating.

The lounge space has room for sofas and freestanding storage and display furniture. There is also space for a small table and chairs that can be used for both dining and working.

The bedroom is a well-proportioned double room, again, with ample space to accommodate freestanding wardrobes and drawers.

The mainly tiled bathroom comprises a three-piece white suite to include a bath with shower over, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

Being on the upper floor, another benefit is the fact the flat has access to a loft space. The loft can be utilised for additional storage and is a feature the flats below do not possess.

Outside the apartment there are communal gardens and an allocated parking space within a car park to the rear of the block.

Wigston is a suburb situated to the South of Leicester City Centre. A popular local hub the main High Street provides a wide range of local shops, amenities, restaurants and eateries. The transport links for commuters are excellent heading into and out of the city by road either by car and regularly serviced bus routes or by rail via South Wigston train station. In addition, there are a number of reputable local schools for all age groups.
