Herrick Way, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18

This delightful two bedroom end townhouse occupies an attractive plot within a sought after residential area. The plot is significantly larger than many of the neighbouring properties due to the fact the home has the added advantage of a garage, which again is a feature many of the similar homes in the area do not possess. The property is conveniently located for a variety of local amenities with Wigston's main centre only a short drive or bus ride away. Supermarkets, smaller shops and services, a plethora of eateries as well as leisure and medical facilities are all within easy reach. The home is fully alarmed and is well presented including a refitted bathroom but some buyers will look to update the decor throughout.

The accommodation includes an entrance hall that also serves as a cloakroom space, a door from the hallway leads to a lounge diner and an open archway leads into the kitchen.

The kitchen includes a range of base and wall mounted fitted units with roll edge work surfaces and a stainless steel sink and drainer. There is space for a cooker, fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. A window looks out to the front elevation.

The lounge diner is a generous space with ample room for a table and chairs as well as the usual assortment of lounge furniture. The space is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a set of sliding patio doors that open to the garden at the rear. The focal point of the room is provided by an electric fire that sits within a feature fireplace. Stairs from the lounge rise to the first floor landing.

The landing has an airing cupboard and doors off to both bedrooms and the bathroom. The landing also provides access to the loft space that is fully boarded and has a drop down ladder and offers additional storage space.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room that looks out over the rear garden. The main bedroom benefits from a large built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom also boasts a built-in wardrobe and has a window to the front elevation. This room also offers the versatility to be used as an office space or dressing area if not required as a bedroom on a day-to-day basis.

The bathroom has been refitted to comprise a contemporary three piece white suite including a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity/storage unit.

To the front of the home there is a low walled and low maintenance front garden that is pebbled and ideal for potted plants to enhance the homes kerb appeal. A paved driveway provides off-road parking and direct car access to the garage.

The garage is certainly a bonus, if nothing more than additional storage space. However, it would offer any potential buyer the option of converting it or building over it to create additional bedroom space.

To the rear of the home is a well tended and good size garden. There is an extensive paved patio seating area and a lawn that is flanked by planted borders containing a variety of flora.

This really is a charming home with wide ranging appeal but perhaps best suited to any first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors or even those looking to downsize. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
