Description
Discreetly tucked away along an exclusive private road on the highly regarded Rowley Bank Gardens, this exceptional detached bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully reimagined home of remarkable quality, privacy and refinement. Positioned within mature landscaped grounds and set well back behind a sweeping driveway approach, the property enjoys an immediate sense of arrival, peaceful, secluded and entirely hidden from the outside world, yet only moments from Stafford town centre, excellent commuter links and the mainline railway station.
Approached via a long, elegant driveway which gently curves through manicured lawns and established trees, the entrance experience is one of understated prestige. The property gradually reveals itself through the greenery, creating a feeling more akin to arriving at a private country retreat than a town residence. Extensive parking sits comfortably to the front elevation alongside a detached double garage, while the mature surroundings provide both privacy and an impressive visual setting from every angle.
Internally, the bungalow has been comprehensively renovated and thoughtfully redesigned to an exceptional standard throughout. Every detail has been carefully considered, blending luxurious contemporary finishes with a calm and timeless interior palette. Flooded with natural light, the accommodation flows effortlessly, offering beautifully balanced living spaces equally suited to entertaining and day-to-day family life.
At the heart of the home lies an outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and living space — a striking room designed for modern living. Bespoke shaker-style cabinetry is paired with elegant stone worktops, premium integrated appliances and sophisticated brushed brass fittings, while expansive glazing and French doors create a seamless connection with the gardens beyond. The generous proportions allow for both relaxed family living and large-scale entertaining, all framed by calming garden views and an abundance of natural light.
Complementing the open-plan space is a beautifully appointed separate lounge, providing a more intimate setting for quieter evenings, complete with soft neutral décor and elegant presentation throughout.
The bedroom accommodation has been equally well considered. The principal suite offers a peaceful retreat with fitted storage and a luxurious hotel-inspired en-suite bathroom finished with full-height porcelain tiling, contemporary vanity cabinetry, illuminated mirror detailing and a striking freestanding bath. Two further double bedrooms provide versatile accommodation for family, guests or home working, served by an equally impressive family shower room finished to an exceptional standard.
Outside, the gardens have been landscaped to create a series of private and tranquil outdoor spaces. A substantial paved entertaining terrace sits immediately to the rear of the property, ideal for summer dining and social gatherings, while expansive lawns are bordered by mature hedging and established trees, ensuring complete privacy and a wonderful sense of seclusion throughout the seasons. The grounds feel remarkably peaceful and sheltered, enhancing the home’s rare combination of discretion and convenience.
Rowley Bank Gardens remains one of Stafford’s most desirable residential addresses, appreciated for its quiet setting, mature surroundings and close proximity to both the town centre and surrounding countryside. Stafford itself offers an excellent range of independent boutiques, restaurants, schooling and leisure facilities, whilst the nearby railway station provides direct intercity services to London Euston, Birmingham and Manchester, making the property exceptionally well placed for commuters.
Combining high-calibre single-storey living with privacy, elegance and exceptional finish, this is a home of considerable distinction — thoughtfully crafted for modern luxury living and perfectly suited to buyers seeking space, tranquillity and uncompromising quality in one of Stafford’s most coveted settings.

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).
