2 bed bungalow for sale

Halter Slade, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This surprisingly spacious two double bedroom detached property occupies a fantastic plot at the head of an intimate Cul-de-Sac on the desirable Wigston Harcourt estate. Offered to the market with no upward chain the home has obviously been much loved and cared for and although some cosmetic updating maybe required the bungalow has been very well maintained. Although the Harcourt estate is on the outskirts of Wigston, a wide range of local amenities are within a short drive or regularly serviced bus ride away. Supermarkets, smaller shops and eateries as well as medical and leisure facilities are all in close proximity. The layout of the bungalow is also the preferred footprint for many buyers with the kitchen and reception room situate toward the rear and overlooking the garden with the bedrooms situated toward the front.

Access to the home is via a main front door that opens into an 'L'- shaped entrance hall, which has doors that open to all rooms. Off the hallway is a WC which is separate to the main shower room and gives the bungalow an extra facility that not all similar examples possess.

A set of glazed double doors from the hall open to the lounge, a generous dual aspect room with a window to the side elevation and a set of French patio doors to the rear garden that fill the room with plenty of natural light. The main focal point of the space is a feature fireplace set onto a central chimney breast, in which sits a living flame gas fire. The lounge offers ample space for a range of living room and display furniture.

The kitchen is also well proportioned and includes an extensive range of base and wall-mounted storage and display units with roll-edge work surfaces and a double inset sink with shared mixer tap. There is an integral dishwasher and space for a range cooker and freestanding fridge freezer. With room for a small table and chairs it is an ideal breakfast room.

Off the kitchen is a separate utility room which has a further sink and drainer unit and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A back door from the utility offers an alternative access to the rear garden.

The principal bedroom is a spacious double room with a bow window to the front. The room benefits from a wall of fitted wardrobes and overhead storage with a dressing table and drawers sandwiched between the wardrobes.

The second bedroom, another dual aspect space, was used by the previous owners as a formal dining room accommodating a table and chairs. This highlights the versatility of the room that could be used as a hobby room, second sitting room or an office space if not required as a bedroom.

Finally, there is a fully tiled and refitted shower room comprising a three-piece white suite to include a large walk-in shower cubicle, low flush WC and wash hand basin set on top of a vanity unit.

To the front of the bungalow a block paved driveway wraps around two sides of the home and provides off-road parking for two vehicles as well as direct car access to a garage. The garage has light and power and an up and over main door.

There is secure gated side access to the rear where a private garden offers a place to entertain or just sit and relax in the warmer months. The garden has a paved patio seating area and a lawn that is surrounded by a planted border containing a variety of flora.

This is a wonderful bungalow which will appeal to anyone wishing to downsize, those who require single storey accommodation and buyers looking for a home in a quiet and private position. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate both the location and the space this fantastic home as to offer.
