Heddington Way, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE2

This impressively extended and substantially modified four/five bedroom semi-detached family home occupies a plot within a sought after residential area on the border of Wigston and Knighton. Only purchased a couple of years ago by the current owners the home's transformation has been dramatic. The home has been transformed from a dated three bedroom semi-detached property with a car port to a highly versatile four/five bedroom home with three superb bathrooms and converted loft bedroom. The home is in close proximity to a wide selection of shops, services and amenities and for commuters there are excellent road links both into and out of the city of Leicester.

As you approach the home its facade is impressive. A newly laid driveway provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles. Anthracite framed double glazed windows and bright white rendering give the home a contemporary look. You enter the home via a set of double doors into an extended porch area. The hallway sits open plan to the porch and runs the full length of the home to the rear.

A door to the right hand side of the hallway opens to the home's main lounge. This is a spacious room with ample room for a variety of lounge furniture and has a window to the front elevation.

On the other side of the entrance hall is a versatile room that was created through an extension to the side where the car port used to be. The room could be used in any number of ways but the fact the owners have also created an impressive fully tiled ground floor shower room means this room could be used as a ground floor bedroom to accommodate older relatives or extended family.

Toward the rear of the home is a superb open plan kitchen diner complete with a set of bi-fold doors that open to the garden. A further window to the rear fills the space with plenty of natural light. The kitchen area has a contemporary an extensive range of base and wall mounted fitted units with a white high gloss finish. Granite work surfaces include a breakfast bar and there is a composite sink and drainer. Integral appliances include a five ring gas hob and eye-level built-in oven and microwave. There is also an integral dishwasher.

A door off the kitchen leads into a separate utility room which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and also accommodates the boiler and pressurised hot water tank.

To the first floor, there are three bedrooms and two further bathrooms. Bedrooms One and Two are both well-proportioned double bedrooms both of which have been redecorated and re-carpeted. The third bedroom is longer and narrower than the first two bedrooms, again created through extension. However, the third bedroom does benefit from its own ensuite shower room. Like the shower room on the ground floor, the en-suite comprises a large walk-in shower, low flush WC and wash hand basin set onto a vanity unit.

Finally, on the first floor is a stunning family bathroom, which is fully tiled and includes a bath with mains shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin.

A flight of stairs from the first floor landing rises up to a bedroom in the loft space. The bedroom has a skylight window and has a lockable door that means it could be used to house a lodger.

At the rear of the property is a family garden with a tiled patio seating area and a section of lawn all enclosed by tall timber panel fencing.

This really is a remarkable home that has been comprehensively transformed. The home has been extended, re-wired, re-plumbed and re-glazed with refitted kitchen and refitted bathrooms and decorated throughout. The result is a spacious and versatile property with wide ranging appeal suiting those who may be looking to house older relatives or extended family to those who need spaces to work from home. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate the transformation this home has witnessed.
