THE ACCOMMODATION

This 2 bedroom family home in need of renovation is conveniently located close to shops, schools, leisure facilities & South Leicestershire college. Close to public transport routes including a local railway station.

Available to the market with no upward chain, this 2 bedroom terraced property represents an incredible opportunity for a first time buyer or investor to acquire a spacious family home in need of a full program of renovation.
Standing behind a block paved frontage, the house is entered through a uPVC front door into an entrance hall with a door into the living room and a staircase rising to the first floor. Alterations have been made to the ground floor to create a very spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen. The lounge area to the front has a window overlooking the front garden and opening into the kitchen diner. The kitchen area, in need of renovation has space for new units and appliances with a window overlooking the rear garden. The dining area has ample space for a family dining suite and patio doors providing views of the garden and access onto the patio.
Upstairs there are 2 generously proportioned double bedrooms, the larger of the 2 at the front and a slightly smaller room to the back. The family bathroom which is in need of renovation completes the accommodation.
The fenced rear garden which is in need of some attention is a generously sized and has a shared entry giving access to the front.

THE AREA

Baldwin Avenue is one of several cul-de-sacs off Lansdowne Grove, close to the heart of the town yet having easy access to open spaces, countryside and canal side walks and is convenient for schools, colleges and local shopping and leisure facilities.
Forming part of The Borough of Oadby & Wigston, South Wigston lies west of Wigston Magna and south of Leicester City Centre. The southern part of the town is made up mainly of Victorian terraced homes standing at both sides of the main thoroughfare. Granted conservation area Status in 1989, Blaby Road has an impressive array of shops with The South Leicestershire College and stores such as Lidle, Tesco and Wickes recently relocating to the town. The northern part of the town is dominated by The Fairfield Estate which was built in the early 1960’s and benefits from open spaces, a primary school and its own parade of shops and a public house.
South Wigston also has its own railway station allowing travel to Leicester in approx. 8 minutes and onward to London St. Pancras in a little over 1 hour and remains very popular today with local buyers and those moving in from further afield due in part to the pleasant mix of housing , its proximity to Leicester city centre, Fosse Retail Park and its excellent transport links with its own railway station and the easy access to the motorway networks.
