THE AREA
.
Located on the popular Fairfield Estate, Dorset Avenue is a popular tree-lined street with a pleasant mix of houses and bungalows set behind grass verges giving a spacious, open feel and having easy access to the town centres of both South Wigston and the neighbouring town of Wigston Magna, and being convenient for local schooling 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.
