Roman Road, Birstall, Leicestershire, LE4

A beautifully extended five bedroom family home on Birstall’s sought-after Roman Road, offering spacious modern living, a stunning kitchen/dining room, versatile reception spaces, a large private garden with purpose-built gym, ample driveway parking, and the advantage of no onward chain.

From the moment you arrive, this property presents itself with quiet confidence. What began as a traditional three-bedroom house has been transformed through a substantial two-storey extension into an impressive five-bedroom family residence, delivering scale, refinement and an elevated standard of living on one of Birstall’s most desirable roads. The sweeping in-and-out driveway immediately sets the scene — a rare feature offering generous parking for up to five vehicles, framed by mature landscaping and an elegant façade that hints at the quality found within.

Stepping inside, the sense of space and considered design becomes instantly apparent. The expanded kitchen/dining room is a striking centrepiece: beautifully finished, abundantly light and crafted for modern living. Its generous island, sleek contemporary cabinetry and extensive glazing overlooking the garden create a space that feels both stylish and effortlessly practical, enhanced further by underfloor heating across the entire ground floor for year-round comfort.

The flow continues into the additional reception room introduced as part of the extension — a versatile room currently arranged as a beauty salon but perfectly suited to a home office, snug, studio or second lounge, depending on lifestyle.

From the hallway, the impressive living room offers another sophisticated retreat. The bay window draws in natural light across the room, complementing the thoughtful detailing and custom-designed media wall. It is a space made for relaxing evenings, quiet mornings and gatherings alike, its atmosphere warm and inviting.

Upstairs, the extension has created an uncompromised five-bedroom layout, with each room offering strong proportions and its own character. From the elegant principal bedroom with its striking curved bay, to the additional spacious doubles and well-planned single, there is a tangible sense of balance and functionality throughout. The newly added wet room introduces a contemporary, boutique feel, appointed with quality finishes and complete with underfloor heating — a detail that elevates the everyday. With the boiler now discreetly repositioned into the loft and a full roof replacement completed, the home offers both comfort and long-term reassurance.

Beyond the interior, the garden extends the home’s appeal even further. Broad, private and beautifully kept, it provides a superb outdoor setting for families and entertaining. At the far end, the purpose-built gym stands as a striking addition — a substantial outbuilding offering exceptional flexibility as a fitness studio, workspace, entertainment room or potential guest suite. A useful store sits alongside, and the separate garage provides further parking or valuable hobby space.

Roman Road is among Birstall’s most desirable locations, conveniently positioned near the village centre, local shops, and everyday amenities. Families are well served by excellent nearby schools, including Highcliffe Primary, Riverside Primary, and The Cedars Academy. For leisure, Watermead Country Park is just a short walk away, offering lakes, wildlife, and picturesque countryside trails. The area also provides superb commuter links to Leicester and further afield.
