Peakdale, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

‘Leaholm’ is a two bedroom detached bungalow occupies a generous corner plot within a highly sought after Cul-de-Sac position on the periphery of the ever popular Wigston Meadows estate. The land surrounding the bungalow has a rich history dating back to Victorian times yet it is the home's future potential that is likely to be one of the property's most attractive propositions. The plot the bungalow occupies would allow scope for the home to be substantially extended without overly compromising the outside space and with a number of the bungalows on the Meadows estate having already sold for figures well in excess of £400,000, it would give any potential buyer scope to build knowing that the value they were adding would be realised in a short space of time.

The bungalow itself is accessed via a front door to the side of the property which in turn leads into conservatory that spans the full width of the home to the rear. Access to the bungalow is then via a door that leads directly into the kitchen.

The kitchen has a range of base and wall mounted units, with roll-edge work surfaces and stainless steel sink drainer. There is an integral ceramic hob and built-in electric oven and space for all other essential appliances such as a fridge and freezer. The kitchen also has room for a table and chairs.

A glazed panel door from the kitchen leads through to a lounge. The lounge has a window to the rear elevation and a door that offers an alternative access point to the conservatory. A hatch in the ceiling has a drop down ladder, that is boarded and has a window to the side elevation. It is also the location of the combination boiler. However, it is mostly boarded and not far away from a being a highly usable space.

Also off the kitchen is a dining room, the principal bedroom and bathroom. The dining room has a window to the front elevation and is a versatile space that could be used for a variety of purpose. A study space, hobby room or even a third bedroom are all viable. Off this room is the second bedroom which also a window to the front.

The principal bedroom is larger than the second bedroom and benefits from a fitted wardrobe.

Finally, there is a bathroom which comprises a three piece suite to include a bath, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

There is no doubt the home does require some cosmetic updating but even just improved with the current footprint as it is it would make a delightful bungalow. However, the option to increase the size of the footprint and re-work the layout will also appeal to many.

To the outside the home has an attractive and sweeping frontage that includes a front garden, large driveway that provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to a garage and a well stocked planted border that enhances kerb appeal.

To the rear is a large, mature and well-tended garden that has a large lawn wrapping around to the side of the home and extensive planted borders containing a plethora of flora.

The future possibilities this charming bungalow has to offer are numerous and significant with the potential to add immediate and substantial additional value either through modernising what already exists or developing the property further. Internal and external viewing is highly advised to truly appreciate what the property and plot provide.
