This two bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupies a generous and attractive plot within a sought after residential area.

Offered with no upward chain the bungalow has been extended to the rear accommodating a dining area which sits open plan to the lounge and creates a large reception space.

Formally a three bedroom bungalow, the smallest bedroom was compromised to create a second shower room to the main bathroom and is a facility many of the neighbouring bungalows within the area do not possess.

The home is conveniently located for a plethora of local amenities with supermarkets, smaller shops and services as well as numerous eateries just a short drive or bus ride away.

Wigston's leisure and medical centres are also readily accessible.

The bungalow does require some cosmetic modernisation but there have been significant improvements made to the property over the last two or three years including new soffits, fascias and downpipes as well as new radiators and boiler.

Access to the bungalow is via a front door that opens to a central entrance hall with rooms off to both sides. The entrance hall benefits from a useful built-in storage/cloakroom cupboard.

The loft can also be accessed via the entrance hall which does include a built-in loft ladder and lighting. There is also a working burglar alarm.

The kitchen is situated toward the front of the home and includes a range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer.

There is space for a cooker and a tall freestanding fridge/freezer. There is also space and plumbing for a washing machine.

The kitchen is a dual aspect room with windows to both front and sides with a back door providing access to the side of the bungalow.

The lounge and extended dining area are towards the rear with the dining area enjoying views of the garden.

The room is spacious and can comfortably accommodate a range of varying furniture including for storage and display.

The main focal point of the lounge area is a feature fireplace containing an electric fire that is set onto a chimney breast.

A large window to the rear fills the space with plenty of natural light and a patio door provides another access point to the garden.

The two bedrooms are split with the largest bedroom toward the front of the bungalow and the second bedroom toward the rear with views of the garden.

Both bedrooms are double rooms and both benefit from fitted wardrobes with overhead storage. The bathroom comprises a three-piece suite including a bath, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

There is then a separate shower room, again with a three-piece suite, with a shower cubicle, another WC and a wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit.

If only one bath or shower room is required a buyer would have an option to turn one of these spaces into another usable room.

A study, separate utility room or even returning to a third bedroom are all distinct possibilities.

To the front of the home a shingle based garden surrounded by planted borders result in a pleasing kerb appeal.

A driveway that runs down the side of the bungalow, via a set of secure timber gates, provide off-road parking.

A detached garage is set back toward the rear and if not used for parking, offers further useful utility, workshop and storage space.

At the rear is an attractive but relatively low maintenance garden with paved patio seating areas immediately to the rear and also running behind the garage, ideal for ranges of outdoor furniture to entertain family and friends.

A lawn is flanked on two side by well-stocked planted borders that add colour and structure to the garden.

This is a delightful bungalow with wide ranging appeal and although some updating is required it is certainly in a condition that can be moved into and enjoyed immediately with any improvements done on a room-by-room basis and providing an opportunity for buyers to add immediate value.

Internal viewing is highly recommended. Wigston is a suburb situated to the South of Leicester City Centre.
