3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Grangeway Road, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This obviously much loved and cared for three bedroom semi-detached family home occupies an attractive and private plot within a highly sought after residential area. Offered with no upward chain the home has been extended to both the front and rear. A rather impressive porch has been added to the front of the property which includes a useful ground floor WC. An older extension to the rear serves to enlarge the dining room. Another addition is a conservatory/garden room situated behind the garage where views over a very pleasing garden can be enjoyed. The home is well positioned for a plethora of local amenities including supermarkets, smaller shops and services, a variety of eateries as well as medical and leisure centres. Commuters will find excellent road links into the city of Leicester and via the ring road toward Fosse Park and Junction 21 of the M1/M69, whilst the property itself offers various options to create work spaces for those that work from home.

Access to the home is via a composite front door that opens to the extended porch, which has a door off the ground floor WC and a further door that leads into a welcoming entrance hall. The hallway has stairs rising to the first floor landing, a useful under stairs storage cupboard and doors that open to the lounge and kitchen.

The lounge is spacious and filled with plenty of natural light thanks to a large bow window to the front elevation. The main focal point of the room is a feature fireplace set onto an angled chimney breast, a commonly found feature of these Jelson built homes of the 1950s. The room has ample space for a range of sofas and armchairs, along with freestanding storage and display furniture. A set of folding doors allow the room to be closed off but can be opened to the extended dining room, ideal for larger gatherings of family and friends.

The dining room is a delightful space and although, not hugely extended, it does make a noticeable difference, when compared to the non-extended similar homes in the area. A set of sliding patio doors open to the garden, and a large table and chairs could easily be accommodated. A door from the dining room offers alternative access to the kitchen.

The kitchen has been refitted to include a range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, with extractor over, and built-in electric oven. There is also an integrated fridge/freezer and space and plumbing for a washing machine. Further storage is provided by a pantry cupboard, and a back door opens to the side and garden.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms that both benefit from fitted triple wardrobes. The principal bedroom also has a fitted drawer unit. The main bedroom is situated toward the front of the home, whilst the second bedroom enjoys views over the garden and could be used as the principal bedroom if preferred. The third bedroom is a single room but is dual aspect with a window to the side and a porthole window to the front again synonymous with this particular style of Jelson build. The third bedroom could also be used as an office space or dressing room, if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.

Finally, on the first floor, is a modern refitted shower room which comprises a two-piece suite to include a large walk-in shower with fixed screen and a wash hand basin set onto a vanity unit. Adjacent to the shower room is a separate WC which helps avoid any morning queues for the bathroom.

To the front of the home a block paved driveway provides off-road parking and mature hedges and bushes not only offer privacy but also enhance the home's already charming kerb appeal. The driveway runs down the side of the home, via a set of secure timber gates, toward a detached garage. The garage, if not used for parking lends itself to further storage, workshop and utility space. Behind the garage is a conservatory/garden room and could become a very pleasant garden office if required.

The garden itself is a wonderful, private and neatly tended space ideal for adults to entertain and children to play in the warmer months. A lawn is bisected by a path from a paved patio seating area to a timber-built storage shed. Well stocked planted borders and mature trees add colour and structure.

This is already a fabulous family home, but it would offer any buyer the ability to add further value. There is scope to extend further and to further modernise. Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space, presentation and its future potential.
