Description

This charming three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a magnificent plot within a sought after residential area. The home is conveniently located for a plethora of local amenities including large supermarkets, smaller local shops and eateries, a medical centre, Wigston's leisure centre and South Wigston train station. As well as the station, for commuters, there are excellent road links both into and out of the city of Leicester. Like many of the neighbouring properties on Saffron Road the home is situation on a particularly large plot which does offer scope to substantially extend the home without compromising the outside space subject to local planning. The home is well presented throughout having been well maintained and cared for by the current owners who have lived at the property for forty years.

The accommodation itself includes a storm porch and through a front door that leads through to a generous entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Doors from the hallway lead through to a lounge and kitchen diner.

The lounge is spacious with the main focal point of the room being a living flame gas fire set into a feature fireplace, one of many period style features that offer character associated with homes of this period. Another one of these features is the large bay window to the front elevation.

The kitchen sits open plan to the dining area creating a superb family space. The kitchen area includes a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless steel sink drainer. There is ample space for a number of freestanding appliances including a cooker, American style fridge freezer and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There are windows to both side and rear elevations and a back door that opens to the side of the home. The dining area has further storage units and work surface space, room for a large table and chairs and a set of Frech patio doors that open to the garden. The dominant feature of the dining section is a Rayburn stove that heats the home and water during the winter. The water is heated via an electric emersion heater for the summer months.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom sits above the lounge and therefore has a large bay window to the front elevation. The bedroom also benefits from fitted storage units and a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom is also a large double room and overlooks the garden to the rear. The third bedroom is a single room and offers the versatility to be used as an office space or dressing room if not required as a bedroom.

Finally, on the first floor is a family bathroom comprising a four piece suite to include a claw foot roll top bath, corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

To the front of the home a huge driveway, half of which is block paved and half shingle provides off-road parking for several vehicles and would easily accommodate a caravan or motorhome if needed. A set of timber gates offer access to the side of the home and lead to a detached tandem garage that is set back toward the rear.

At the rear is a remarkable and well tended garden which includes a paved patio seating area, extensive lawned sections, planted beds containing a plethora of flora, fruit trees, vegetable plots and water feature. For keen gardeners and those who like to grow their own produce it is a wonderful space. Many neighbours have also utilised the garden area to construct outbuildings that enable working from home or entertainment spaces like bars and gyms.

This wonderful family home has wide ranging appeal and really has to be viewed to fully understand the space the home already provides and the future potential it offers.
