2 bed flat for sale

Long Street, Wigston, Leicestershire LE18

This two bedroom first floor retirement flat makes up part of the purpose built-in Kingswood Court, an over 55s retirement complex situated within walking distance of Wigston's main High Street. As a consequence the complex is superbly positioned for a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, a plethora of local shops and services, a variety of eateries as well as both leisure and medical facilities. This particular apartment is arguably one of the best examples that have been available on the open market having undergone a comprehensive renovation and refurbishment throughout.

Access to the flat is via a secure intercom entrance that is shared by three other flats, two on the ground floor and two above on the first floor. The two upper apartments are serviced by a stair lift making them accessible to all.

The apartment itself includes a spacious entrance hall that has been newly carpeted and decorated. There are two useful storage/cloakroom cupboards off the hallway that provide ample space to hide the vacuum cleaner, clothes horse and ironing board.

The newly laid carpets run through the main lounge and both bedrooms. The main lounge is a spacious room that comfortably accommodates a small dining table and chairs as well as usual lounge furniture. A set of French doors open to a Juliet balcony and fill the space with plenty of natural light. An archway leads through to the kitchen.

The kitchen has been completely refitted to include a contemporary range of base and wall mounted fitted units with a high gloss finish, roll-edge work surfaces and one and a half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer. The modern finish is enhanced by the subway style tiled splashbacks. There is an integral four ring gas hob, built-in electric oven and extractor hood over. There is then ample space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine.

The principal bedroom is a double room with a window to the front elevation. There is plenty of space for a range of freestanding wardrobes and drawers. The second bedroom is smaller and adds versatility to the accommodation with many of the residents using this space for their hobbies or a formal dining space if preferred.

Finally, like the kitchen, the shower room has been completely changed and upgraded. The walls are fully tiled and a modern three piece suite fitted. There is a corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and pedestal wash hand basin. It has been thoughtfully done so it is easily accessed by those who might have some mobility issues and it is easy to clean and maintain.

To the outside the complex benefits from residents parking and communal gardens that are tended as part of the service charges.

A superb renovation has created a wonderful apartment and for anyone looking for retirement accommodation there will not be many better examples both in terms of finish and in terms of proximity to local amenities. Internal viewing is highly advised.

The property is leasehold with approximately 963 years remaining. The last invoice for the service charge was £91.90 per month payable to the Kingswood Court Management Company.
