Fabulous Home with Annex, Gym & Swimming Pool - Stafford Road, Lichfield, WS13 8HZ

A beautifully reimagined Victorian home with self-contained annex, home gym, heated swimming pool & far-reaching countryside views. Occupying a wonderfully private setting on the edge of the Cathedral City of Lichfield, Rose Bower is an exceptional detached Victorian home where period character, contemporary luxury and an enviable lifestyle come together beautifully. Set within approximately a third of an acre of secluded gardens, the property has been extensively refurbished and enhanced by the current owners to create an immaculate home complemented by a self-contained annex, heated outdoor swimming pool and a substantial detached gym/office, all framed by delightful gardens and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

The result is a home with genuine versatility. Whether accommodating extended family, creating an impressive guest suite, working from home or simply enjoying long summer days beside the pool, Rose Bower offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find so close to Lichfield.

Come Inside:
The interiors have been thoughtfully refurbished to retain the warmth and character of the original cottage while introducing the quality and convenience expected of a modern family home. The ground floor provides a choice of inviting living spaces, including two reception rooms, a study and a beautifully refurbished garden room. With its solid insulated roof and replacement windows, the garden room has been transformed into a comfortable year-round living space overlooking the gardens. At the heart of the home is the immaculate refitted kitchen, finished to an excellent standard and complemented by a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. A separate utility room provides valuable additional practicality, while a guest cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, each enjoying its own private en-suite, creating an unusual level of comfort and privacy. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and storage together with a traditionally styled en-suite bathroom featuring a beautiful claw-foot bath, a charming nod to the Victorian origins of the house.

The Annex:
One of Rose Bower's greatest assets is its superb self-contained annex. Created from the former double garage, this impressive additional accommodation incorporates its own kitchen and shower room, providing genuine independence from the main house. Perfect for multi-generational living, visiting family, older children or long-term guests, the annex significantly enhances the flexibility of the property and allows Rose Bower to adapt effortlessly to changing family requirements.

Gym, Office & Further Potential:
A further detached outbuilding is currently arranged as a gym, creating an excellent environment for working out, training or pursuing hobbies away from the main house. Importantly, infrastructure has already been considered, with pipework in place in readiness for underfloor heating together with drainage pies (yet to be connected) and scope for further internal finishing. Subject to any necessary permissions and regulations, this creates exciting potential for the next owners to tailor the building to their own requirements.

Come Outside:
Rose Bower's gardens are every bit as impressive as the house itself. Double gates open onto a generous private driveway, while the beautifully established grounds extend to approximately a third of an acre, surrounded by mature trees and planting that create a wonderful sense of privacy. At the heart of the garden is the heated outdoor swimming pool, providing a fabulous focal point for entertaining and family life throughout the warmer months. Recently relined and enhanced with limestone edging and new coping stones, the pool sits beautifully within the landscaped surroundings. Generous lawns extend beyond, leading towards the annex and gym, while from the far end of the garden the outlook opens dramatically to reveal far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. It is a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life yet remains remarkably convenient for everything Lichfield has to offer.
