Thoughtfully extended, beautifully presented family home with landscaped gardens on a large plot in a highly desirable location. Convenient for local schools & amenities & having easy access to Leicester and excellent road & rail links.

Introduction - .

Boasting a prominent position in a highly respected cul-de-sac on The Meadows development in the popular South Leicestershire town of Wigston, No 5 Farndale stands on a very generous plot and has been skilfully extended with the addition of a fourth bedroom having its own en-suite shower room which would be ideal for an older relative or a teenager wanting their own space, or could equally be used as a family room, gymnasium or as work from home space.
Much improved by the current owners, the property stands well back from the road with beautifully landscaped gardens to the front and rear and having standing space for several vehicles on the drive and access to the garage
The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and gas central heating and briefly comprises:
A spacious entrance hall with ground floor wc off, a large through lounge/dining room, a re-fitted breakfast kitchen, an inner lobby leading to a ground floor bedroom with a re-fitted wet room style en-suite. Upstairs off the landing there are 3 well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside - .
The immaculately presented gardens form an important part of the overall appeal of this superb family home. The frontage has been recently overhauled with an eye-catching block paved driveway providing parking for approx. 5 vehicles and access to the single integral garage. There is a well maintained, shaped lawn with well-stocked borders and specimen trees, and a timber gate providing side pedestrian access to the rear.
Enclosed to 3 sides by timber fencing, the very private rear garden has been stunningly landscaped with paved patio areas, manicured shaped lawns and mature borders.

The Area - Wigston is a South Leicestershire town in the Borough of Oadby & Wigston standing approx. 5 miles south of Leicester city centre. With Knighton forming the northern border and Oadby to the east, the A5199 leaves Wigston to the south providing access to some of the county's most delightful countryside with a number of charming villages nearby. By the middle ages, the village of Wichingstone had become known as Wigston Two Steeples or Two Spires as it was unusually the home of 2 spired churches known today as All Saints & St. Wistans.

. - .
The village has grown into a thriving town in recent years with a number of housing developments spreading in all directions around the busy town centre with a choice of Banks, public houses and restaurants, and a comprehensive selection of shops.
Wigston is popular today with local buyers and those from further afield due in part to the extremely good variety of housing stock, varied leisure facilities, its proximity to Leicester, its ease of access to the motorway network and the choice of railway stations allowing travel to London in a little over an hour.
