4 bed detached house for sale

Laverstock Road, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This spacious and five bedroom detached family home occupies a generous plot on the ever popular Little Hill estate. It's position on the road means there is a small green to the left of the property which results in a pleasant feeling of space around the home and enhances its kerb appeal. Offered with no upward chain the home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities and is within walking distance of the parade of shops on the Little Hill that include a Co-op supermarket and a Post Office. Further supermarkets, shops, services and eateries as well as Wigston's leisure and medical centres are only a short drive or bus ride away. The home is also within the catchment for the highly regarded Little Hill Primary School. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and toward Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69 and for those that work from home the property provides several options to create office spaces.

Access to the home is via a porch which in turn leads into an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor landing and doors through to the kitchen, the lounge and a further hall which takes you to a ground floor shower room and utility room.

The main lounge is one of three reception areas/rooms and is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace that is inset into the partition wall between the lounge and another sitting room on the other side. The main lounge has ample space for sofas, chairs and freestanding storage and display furniture.

The second reception area is a sitting room which sits open plan to the lounge itself. Again, this space has another set of sliding patio doors to the garden at the rear. This is a versatile room which could be used as a second sitting room, play or games room or an office/study space.

The third reception room is a dining room which can be accessed via the kitchen or through an archway from the main lounge. A further set of sliding patio doors open to the garden and a window to the rear gives the room a dual aspect. A fireplace with timber mantelpiece is a focal point with the room easily able to accommodate a large table and chairs.

The kitchen is well-proportioned and includes an extensive range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl composite sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a five-ring gas hob, mid-level double electric oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The kitchen and adjacent dining room could be knocked into each other to create, what would be, a rather impressive kitchen diner space if desired.

Separate to the kitchen is a utility room, which has a Butler style sink and under counter space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A back door provides access to the side of the home. Also on the ground floor is a shower room, which comprises a three-piece white suite to include a corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the first floor there are four genuine double bedrooms and a fifth versatile single bedroom. The four double all benefit from some form of built-in wardrobes and storage. With the first two bedrooms both having two double wardrobe spaces. The fifth bedroom is another option for those looking to create office space. Ideal for larger families the number of bedrooms and the space within them is a real selling feature.

Finally, on the first floor, is a bathroom which includes a bath, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home, a driveway provides side-by-side off-road parking as well as direct car access to a double garage. The double garage has light, power and a remote operated electric main door. A door to the rear of the garage offers direct access to the garden.

At the rear is a private garden, enclosed by tall timber panel fencing. The garden has a paved patio seating area, a lawn and a shingle, rockery type area. The garden may need a little landscaping but is a great size and will appeal to families of all shapes and sizes.

This is a fantastic family home with spacious rooms and flexible accommodation. With a little cosmetic work, it has the potential to be an exceptional property. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate all it has to offer.
