Station Road, Leicester, LE7

Set behind gates in one of east Leicestershire’s most desirable village settings, Red Roof is a substantial and beautifully versatile detached family home, enjoying open countryside views, a generous plot and an impressive balance of elegance, practicality and lifestyle appeal. This is a home designed not only to be admired, but truly lived in.

From the moment of arrival, the house makes a striking impression. A gated entrance opens to a broad block-paved driveway with ample parking and a detached double garage, creating an immediate sense of privacy and stature. Inside, the accommodation is both generous and wonderfully adaptable, extending to approximately 2,876 sq. ft. overall.

The true heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan kitchen, living and dining room — a remarkable space where family life and entertaining come together with ease. Thoughtfully designed and filled with natural light, it is a room made for everything from slow Sunday mornings to lively evenings with friends and family.

In addition, there are two further reception spaces on the ground floor, offering excellent versatility. The lounge is a warm and inviting room that could equally serve as a fifth bedroom if required, adding further flexibility for growing families, guests or multi-generational living. The separate reception room provides a more formal setting, beautifully enhanced by an exposed brick feature wall, a multi-fuel burner, and a window to the front elevation, creating a room of character, warmth and charm.

There is also a study downstairs, ideal for those who work from home or simply require a quiet and dedicated space away from the rhythm of the main living areas. The ground floor is further enhanced by a bedroom and shower room, making the layout especially attractive for multi-generational living, guests, or families wanting a home that can evolve with changing needs.

A particularly appealing feature is the additional space to the side of the house, which has been converted into a gym — a superb lifestyle addition that brings wellness and convenience into everyday living.

Upstairs, the first floor continues to impress. The principal bedroom suite is a serene retreat, enjoying beautiful open views, access to a balcony, an en-suite bathroom, dressing room and further wardrobe space. Two further bedrooms are well proportioned and are served by a family bathroom, while the overall layout provides both comfort and privacy for family life.

Outside, the rear garden is a wonderful extension of the house itself — generous, private and backing onto open fields that create a glorious sense of calm and escape. It is a setting that feels wonderfully rural, yet remains exceptionally convenient for day-to-day life.

Scraptoft is a location held in high regard by families and discerning buyers alike, known for its village charm, surrounding countryside and excellent access to Leicester and Oadby. Nearby Oadby and Uppingham Road provide a wide range of shopping, dining and schooling options, including access to highly regarded local schools.
