4 bed detached house for sale

Cottage Road, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This incredible four bedroom detached family home occupies a generous plot within one of Wigston's premier Cul-de-Sac locations. Properties located on Cottage Road are rarely available with only three properties listed in the last five years. However, the immediate neighbour did sell in 2025 and completed significantly over the £500,000 barrier and highlighting how sought after the position is. The home is already spacious with each room having impressive dimensions, but the large plot means there is plenty of scope to extend, meaning a prospective purchaser could turn the home into something very special indeed. The home is offered with no upward chain and is well placed for a plethora of local amenities. Supermarkets, smaller shops and services as well as a variety of eateries are all close by, and medical and leisure centres are also only a short drive away. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and to Junction 21 of the M1/M69 and there are several options to create spaces to work either within the home or out in the garden for those who work from home. The home has been well maintained but as with the next door property that sold last year some modernisation and cosmetic change would give a buyer an immediate opportunity to add value.

Access to the home is via a front door that opens to a generous and welcoming entrance hall, with stairs that rise to the first floor landing and a useful built-in storage/cloakroom cupboard. Off the hallway is a ground floor WC and wash hand basin, with further doors through to the lounge, dining room and kitchen diner.

The lounge is a wonderful dual aspect space and therefore bathed in natural light. Two picture windows face out to the side elevation, and a set of folding patio doors open to the rear. The main focal point of the room is an exposed brick feature fireplace set between the two windows to the side. A large open archway from the lounge leads through to the dining room.

The dining room is again filled with natural light thanks to a large window that overlooks the garden. There is ample space for a table and chairs, ideal for formal dining and festive occasions with family and friends.

The kitchen is also impressively proportioned and includes an extensive range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half bowl stainless-steel sink and drainer. There is an integrated gas hob with extractor over, two full size built-in electric ovens and an integral fridge/freezer. In addition, there is space and plumbing for a dishwasher. The kitchen has ample space for a large table and chairs, ideal for breakfast and for children to do their homework whilst evening meals are being prepared. If the kitchen were to be modernised the kitchen could easily accommodate a sizeable island if preferred. A door from the kitchen opens to a separate utility room.

The utility room has an additional sink units and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A back door provides an alternative access point to the garden.

To the first floor, there is a delightful galleried landing, that can accommodate freestanding storage and display furniture and has two windows to the front. Off the landing are four splendid double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a handsome double room with a window to the front elevation. The room benefits from two built-in wardrobes on either side of the door that leads into the en-suite. The en-suite is as large as some bedrooms in many homes and has a four piece suite that comprises a bath, low flush WC, bidet and pedestal was hand basin. The second bedroom is positioned over the double garage and is another magnificent double room with two dormer style windows to the front and again with a range of fitted wardrobes and drawers. Bedroom Three overlooks the garden to the rear and has a range of fitted wardrobes and overhead storage and bedroom four, which although the smallest, is still a good size double could be used as a study or office if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

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

To the front of the home a large shingle driveway provides ample off-road parking as well as direct car access to a double garage. The double garage has a remote operated main door and has light and power. It also could be converted to create even more internal space.

At the rear is a fabulous family garden which can be enjoyed by young and old alike. A paved patio seating area running the full width of the home provides space to entertain family and friends or just a place to sit, relax and enjoy a cold drink in the warmer months. A large lawn offers a place for children to play, and planted borders add maturity, colour and structure to the garden. A summer house in the corner could easily become a garden office if preferred.

This is already a wonderful family home but the opportunity to modernise and extend could transform this property into something truly incredible. Internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate the space it offers and the future potential to be unlocked.
