Description
This exceptional property in the highly desirable suburb of Birstall has undergone a complete transformation from a two-bedroom bungalow into a beautifully extended four-bedroom, two-storey family home. The property now boasts two first-floor bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and two ground-floor double bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living or downsizers seeking additional space.
The heart of the home is the impressive extended kitchen/diner, flooded with natural light and featuring bi-folding doors that open seamlessly onto the rear garden. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a breakfast bar and a full suite of fitted appliances, including a dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob with extractor, space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and an American-style fridge freezer. Adjacent is a versatile utility room that has been thoughtfully designed as a second kitchen with electric hob and space for appliances.
The property also includes a separate lounge to the front, a welcoming hallway with fitted cloak and storage space, and a pristine ground-floor shower room. Every bedroom is a double, with high-quality finishes, fixtures, and flooring throughout. The home has been fully rewired, new gas central heating and refurbished back to brick, including external rendering to enhance energy efficiency.
Externally, the property features a beautifully maintained rear garden laid to lawn, a wrap-around concrete print driveway accommodating up to three cars, and a single garage to the rear. Lantern-style lighting in the kitchen adds a stylish touch.
Located close to excellent local schools, Watermead Country Park, and within walking distance to Birstall village amenities, this property offers both convenience and lifestyle appeal. Travel links are easily accessible, including the A46, A6, and M1, ensuring quick connections across Leicester and beyond.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
