Owston Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This superb three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a magnificent corner plot within a sought after residential area. Already extended, with the addition of a conservatory and the incorporation of the outbuildings into a covered garden room area, the generous plot would allow scope for substantial further development without compromising the garden whatsoever. Offered with no upward chain the property is generally in good order throughout but it is the further future potential this home has to offer that really captures the imagination.

You enter the property via a recently fitted composite front door and on into an entrance hall, which has stairs rising to the first floor and a useful cloakroom cupboard. A door leads through to the home's main lounge. The entrance hall, lounge and dining room all have original Parquet flooring.

The lounge itself is a generous space made to feel more spacious as both the dining room and kitchen sit open plan to the room.
The lounge has a set of sliding patio doors that open to a conservatory. An open archway leads through to a dining room which has a feature bay window to the front elevation and has ample space for a large dining table and chairs.

A second open archway from the lounge enters into the kitchen which has been refitted to include a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with solid timber work surfaces and a one and a half bowl composite sink drainer. There is an integral gas hob, built-in double oven and space and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer. There is also a breakfast bar.

A door from the kitchen leads through to a garden room which was created through the incorporation of a series of outbuildings into the main property. The garden room has windows to both side elevations and to the rear making it a triple aspect room where views of the impressive garden can be enjoyed. Off the garden room is a ground floor WC and a utility area which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

To the first floor, the three bedrooms are all good size double rooms. The principal bedroom is the largest of the three and overlooks the garden to the rear. The other bedrooms are situated toward the front of the home. Bedrooms Two and Three also benefit from built-in storage cupboards/wardrobes.

Also on the first floor is a refitted bathroom comprising a contemporary four piece suite to include a corner shower, feature freestanding bath, low flush WC and wash hand basin sitting on top of a storage unit.

To the front of the home a driveway provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles including ample space for a caravan or motorhome if required. There is also secure gated side access to the rear.

At the rear is a remarkable South facing garden and plot including outbuildings such as a workshop and garage. There is a paved patio seating area, extensive lawn and well stocked planted beds. Some areas of the garden do require taming but it is truly a remarkable space that, as already mentioned, would allow scope for substantial extension subject to local planning.

Although some cosmetic work maybe required this is already a fantastic family home but it what it could potentially become that is particularly exciting. With wide ranging appeal from those looking for a forever home that they can put their own stamp on to developers who want to take advantage of the plot, internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate what this wonderful property has to offer.
