3 Bedroom Detached House

Sat on Forryan Road, a cul-de-sac in the ever-popular village of Burbage, this three-bedroom semi-detached dormer bungalow unfolds across a carefully extended plan, where mid-century character meets an opportunity for modernisation.

At first glance, the home presents a familiar silhouette of its era - warm-toned brick, low-slung rooflines and a generous frontage softened by planting. Yet the addition of a conversion introduces a contemporary rhythm, subtly expanding the volume without disturbing the home’s original proportions.

Internally, the house reveals a series of interconnected spaces. The entrance hall, where decorative cornicing and tactile finishes lend a sense of craftsmanship. From here, the plan opens into a sequence of reception rooms, loosely defined yet connected. Glazed partitions and wide openings allow light to travel through, creating flow between spaces.

The principal living room is anchored by a brick fireplace. Beyond, a dining area sits adjacent to large sliding doors, framing views of the garden and drawing the outside in. The connection between interior and exterior is a defining feature of the house.

The kitchen, positioned to the rear, is generous and characterful in detail. Exposed beams create a rustic, farmhouse quality, softened by natural light from wide garden-facing windows. A door gives access to the exterior of the home.

Accommodation is arranged across two levels. The ground floor provides flexibility, with additional bedrooms or study space depending on use. Above, the loft conversion forms a distinct principal bedroom, set beneath sloping ceilings and benefiting from its own en suite. The geometry of the roofline lends intimacy, and utilities fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom across the landing, another double.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of planted zones. Stone pathways, retained beds and mature planting establish a layered, almost cottage-like environment, rich in seasonal colour and texture. Furthermore, the garage presents a space for storage or further conversion.

The house sits within easy reach of Burbage village centre, with its mix of independent shops, cafés and green spaces, while nearby transport links connect readily to Leicester and beyond.
