House For Sale £250,000
Cowper Street, Knighton, LE2

Presenting a stylish two/three bedroom townhouse positioned opposite the established Wheatsheaf Court development, this property boasts a rich heritage dating back to 1891 when Wheatsheaf Works was curated for the Co-operative Wholesale Society. Once celebrated as the largest footwear factory globally, this historical landmark underwent a stunning transformation in 2011 by Urban Rhythm Developments into 172 distinct properties, ranging from one to four bedrooms. Distinguished by its unique freehold status among neighbouring residences, this meticulously adorned home epitomises contemporary living. Throughout the property, meticulous attention to detail harmonises with modern conveniences. The property has the added benefit of gas central heating and double glazing throughout.

Approaching the property, its exceptional curb appeal is heightened by off-road parking for two vehicles at the front. Stepping inside, the entrance hall welcomes you leading to a luminous and inviting primary reception area. The elegantly appointed fitted kitchen at the rear exudes style with modern pendant lighting and a sophisticated colour scheme. This space boasts a four-ring gas cylinder hob with a concealed extractor hood, an integrated fitted oven and provisions for a washing machine and dishwasher, alongside charming wood-panelling to the side aspect. Double glazed uPVC French doors grant seamless access to the low-maintenance private rear garden, providing a delightful view. A downstairs w/c completes the downstairs accommodation.

Ascending the stairs reveals a generous landing leading to a large double bedroom adorned with fitted wardrobes and double-glazed windows to the front aspect offering pleasant views. Originally configured as a two-bedroom layout, the second bedroom has been subdivided into two singles, easily convertible back into a spacious double or adaptable for a dressing room/study and single bedroom. Completing the upper level is a modern three-piece family bathroom. Outside, the impeccably maintained rear garden features easy-to-manage astro-turf lawn, a raised patio area, and lush shrubbery, ensuring privacy from neighbouring properties.
