Preston Close, Wigston, Leicestershire

A well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached home in Wigston Meadows, built by the respected Barratt Homes and offering a great opportunity for first-time buyers.

Located on the edge of Wigston, the property enjoys easy access to open countryside while still being close to shops, services and everyday amenities. The home has been carefully maintained and offers comfortable, well-balanced living spaces, including two double bedrooms, a bright living room and a generous kitchen/breakfast room that opens onto a sunny rear garden whilst two allocated parking spaces are included at the front.

The property is entered through a porch leading into a light and welcoming living room. From here, a door leads through to the inner hallway, where there is a useful cloakroom with a two-piece suite.

The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the rear garden and benefits from French doors that let in plenty of natural light. It is fitted with a double oven, gas hob with extractor, and a coordinated splashback. There is a good range of cupboard space with quartz work surfaces, along with integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.

Upstairs, a landing area leads to two comfortable double bedrooms with the master bedroom occupying the front and benefits from space for a freestanding double wardrobe. The second bedroom is also of a generous size and overlooks the rear garden. The bathroom benefits from a double glazed obscure side window, with the walls part tiled and fitted with a white three-piece suite, including a bath with electric shower and folding screen.

The rear garden is a particularly enjoyable feature—private, unexpectedly spacious and enclosed by timber fencing. A wide porcelain paved area provides space for outdoor seating and dining in addition to a raised deck patio area, with planted borders and steps leading up to a well-kept lawn. A side passage provides external access. At the front, the property benefits from two designated parking spaces.

This home offers an ideal balance of comfort, practicality and location—well suited to anyone looking for their first home or a move within the area.
