Newstead Avenue, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This substantially extended four bedroom semi-detached home is offered with no upward chain and occupies a generous plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position. The two storey extension to the side of the home accommodates a repositioned and enlarged kitchen area on the ground floor and a spacious extra bedroom on the first floor. The home does require extensive refurbishment and modernisation throughout, but the potential to add value through renovation and possible further extension is huge.

The property includes an entrance porch and on into an entrance hall which has stairs rising to the first floor and an understairs storage cupboard. There are two reception rooms, typical of many of the Jelson built semi-detached properties in the area. There is a lounge with bay window to the front elevation and a feature fireplace giving the room a focal point. There rear reception space is a dining room which has a set of recently fitted sliding patio doors that open to the garden. In fact, many of the windows throughout the home have been recently replaced.

The original location for the kitchen is now a utility space with a ground floor WC. The kitchen is now located in the extension and, although needing a full refit, could be made to look fantastic.

To the first floor, there are now three double bedrooms all of which benefit from some sort of built-in wardrobe/storage space. The fourth bedroom is the original box room and obviously offers the versatility to be used as an office or dressing area if not required as a bedroom.

Finally, on the first floor, is a bathroom which again will require a refit but currently comprises a three piece suite to include low flush WC, pedestal wash hand basin and bath with a shower over.

To the front of the home a hard standing driveway provides off-road parking as well as direct car access to a garage. At the rear is a sizeable and private garden which would again offer any buyer the possibility to extend to the rear if desired.

The home is in a lovely position and it does not take huge amounts of imagination to appreciate what the home could become. Internal viewing is highly advised to truly appreciate exactly what work is required and the many ways value could be added.
