Description

Nestled on the desirable Carlton Drive in Wigston, this traditional three-bedroom house offers significant scope for renovation and personalization across its two levels. The property presents a promising opportunity for buyers eager to infuse their own style into a well-structured home. Currently, it requires modern updating but is devoid of any upward chain, making it an attractive proposition for investors or first-time buyers looking to enhance their living space. Upon entering, a hallway provides access to a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area that showcases a decorative fireplace as the centerpiece. The kitchen, although functional with its existing wall and base units and pantry, invites creative redesign potential with ample room for modern upgrades. A double-glazed door leads to the side garden, facilitating outdoor access. Upstairs, the first-floor landing connects to three generously-sized bedrooms alongside a family bathroom featuring an original avocado suite and a separate WC—a prime candidate for contemporary refurbishment. The rear garden serves as a tranquil retreat complete with a lawn and stone seating area framed by mature plants. The front features a walled garden complemented by a driveway offering substantial off-road parking along with garage access on the side. Additional advantages include gas central heating, enhancing comfort while renovations are undertaken. Located conveniently close to Wigston town center and excellent transport links to Leicester city center, Fosse Park Retail Park, and major motorways further elevate the investment potential of this property.
