Barford Close, Leicestershir...

This neatly presented two bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupies a plot within a sought after Cul-de-Sac position on the popular Little Hill estate. Offered with no upward chain the bungalow is well placed for a wide range of local amenities. The estate itself has a parade of shops, including a Co-op supermarket and post office, that are within walking distance. Larger supermarkets, a plethora of smaller shops, services and eateries as well as Wigston's leisure and medical centres are all just a short drive or bus ride away. The home has obviously been well looked after and is generally in good decorative condition, but many buyers will want to make some cosmetic changes and update certain rooms. The plot would allow scope to extend, especially to the rear, with the bungalow already benefitting from the addition of a conservatory.
Access to the home is via a front door that opens to a porch and in turn to an entrance hall off which are doors through to both bedrooms the bathroom and the lounge.
The lounge is situated toward the rear of the bungalow. The lounge, dining area and kitchen lie open plan to each other wrapping around a partition wall. The space is filled with plenty of natural light thanks to two sets of sliding glazed doors, one set that opens to the conservatory and the other opening directly to the garden. The main focal point of the lounge area is a feature fireplace with carved timber mantelpiece that it set onto the wall that separates the lounge from the kitchen. There is ample space for sofas as well as freestanding storage and display furniture. The dining area is on the kitchen side of the space and can comfortably accommodate a table and chairs.
The kitchen includes a range of base and wall-mounted fitted units with roll-edge work surfaces and a one and a half-bowl composite sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a gas hob with extractor over and built-in electric oven underneath. There is space for an under counter fridge as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine. Light enters the room from a window to the side, and a back door provides access to the side and rear of the bungalow.
The conservatory offers further reception space and is uPVC construction. Presented as another sitting area this space is versatile and could be used in several ways.
The bedrooms are located toward the front of the home, which is the preferred layout by many buyers as it means the reception spaces are more private and enjoy views of the garden. The principal bedroom is the largest of the two and is a good size double room that benefits from both a built-in storage cupboard and a fitted wardrobe. The second bedroom, although smaller, could still accommodate a double bed, and has a window to the side. This space could be used as a study or reading room if not required as a bedroom day-to-day.
The bedrooms are serviced by a bathroom which comprises a three-piece suite including a bath with shower over, low flush WC and wash hand basin that sits on top of a vanity unit.
To the outside the bungalow has a low maintenance frontage which is block paved with two diamond shaped raised shingle beds enclosed by a low wall and wrought iron gate. The home does benefit from a detached garage that is situated opposite the bungalow itself with a driveway in front of it that provides off-road parking. At the rear is a relatively low maintenance garden with paved patio seating area and a lawn all enclosed by tall timber panel fencing. A timber-built storage shed provides a useful extra storage space.
This is a charming bungalow with wide ranging appeal. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
