3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Horndean Avenue, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This three bedroom semi-detached home occupies a corner plot within a sought after residential area. Offered with no upward chain the property will require an extensive program of refurbishment and modernisation, however, the potential for any prospective buyer to add immediate and significant value is massive. The property is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities with a variety of shops, services, supermarkets and eateries all a short drive or bus ride away. Wigston's leisure and medical centres are also close by. The plot would allow scope to extended the home especially to the side toward the garage. This could create both additional reception and bedroom space and would have further impact on value.

Access to the home is via a small porch that, in turn, leads into an entrance hall, which has the stairs rising to the first floor landing. Doors from the hallway open to the lounge and kitchen.

The lounge is generous and would originally been a through lounge diner. However, the previous owner decided to partition the space so the dining room is now accessed via the kitchen. Natural light enters the room via the large bay window to the front.

The kitchen will require refitting but does currently include a base sink unit, base and wall mounted cupboards and space for all essential appliances. A window to the rear overlooks the garden and a back door provides access to the side of the home. An open doorway leads into a dining room.

The dining room presents more like a utility space with a range of base unts and drawers against the wall that separates the room from the lounge. Most buyers will remove this arrangement returning the space to the original lounge diner, or alternatively creating a larger kitchen diner by knocking out the wall between the kitchen and dining room.

To the first floor there are two double bedrooms, one to the front with the bay window and another that overlooks the garden to the rear. In addition, there is a further single box room, an ideal office space, if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

These bedrooms are serviced by a wet room, which again, is likely to be changed pretty swiftly by most buyers.

The home's corner plot position does mean the frontage is generous. A combination of paved and hard standing driveway space provides plenty of off-road parking potential as well as direct car access to a garage. Although the garage has an electric roller door, many buyers will be tempted to either rebuild it or replace it through extension. However, it does currently provide useful storage space. Behind the garage is a timber-built shed.

At the rear is a relatively low maintenance garden which is currently paved with shingle sections. The garden tapers toward the rear as a consequence of the corner position.

This property does hold potential for anyone looking for a home to make their own. Diy enthusiasts and those connected to trades should certainly find some appeal.
