Enjoying a larger than average plot for a property of this kind, the bungalow stands well back from the road behind a deep frontage. Benefiting from gas central heating and uPVC double glazed windows, the bungalow is entered through the main entrance to the side of the property into the hallway providing access to the rest of the accommodation. The living accommodation lies to the front of the property with a door off the hall into the dining kitchen. Separated from the dining area by a breakfast bar, the kitchen has been fitted with a range of base and wall units, a double oven and an electric hob with an extractor hood over, a stainless steel sin and drainer and a window overlooking the side of the house. The dining area has space for a small family dining table with a tall window overlooking the front and an opening into the lounge.

A re-fitted shower room comprising a fitted vanity unit with toilet and sink, and a walk-in shower enclosure completes the accommodation.

OUTSIDE

The gardens are an important feature of the property being larger than average for a property of this kind. Set well back from the road the frontage is part lawn with a driveway providing hard standing for several vehicles, access to the single brick-built garage and a timber gate to the rear. The spacious and very private rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with easy maintenance in mind.
A large patio area directly behind the house provides an excellent seating area with a pedestrian door into the garage and steps down onto the lawn with mature well-stocked borders.

With Knighton forming the northern border and Oadby to the east, the A5199 leaves Wigston to the south providing access to some of the county's most delightful countryside with a number of charming villages nearby. By the middle ages, the village of Wichingstone had become known as Wigston Two Steeples or Two Spires as it was unusually, the home of 2 spired churches known today as All Saints & St. Wistans.
The village has grown into a thriving town in recent years with a number of housing developments spreading in all directions around the busy town centre. With a selection of day to day facilities, public houses and restaurants, the town centre has a good selection of shops..
