Welcome to ‘Woodnook,’ a distinguished part of Park Farm, an 18th-century model farm built by Sir Thomas Hesketh. Situated in a conservation area, this property offers both privacy and seclusion, accessible via a long private driveway with electronic gates. Once part of the Rufford New Hall estate, the home is one of just six exclusive dwellings in the area.
Inside, the home is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. Highlights include solid oak flooring, original wood beams, and high vaulted ceilings, all tastefully accented with bespoke fittings and elegant decor. The inviting reception hallway features a beautiful oak staircase and tiled flooring, leading to a bright and spacious lounge. Here, you’ll find an exposed brick fireplace with a gas stove, creating a cosy ambience. The recently upgraded kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with high-quality cabinetry, a centre island, a breakfast bar, butcher block countertops, a range oven, and integrated appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room, which opens to the rear patio—ideal for both family gatherings and entertaining.
The ground floor also includes a home office, a cloakroom/WC, and a utility room for added convenience.
Upstairs, four stunning bedrooms await, all featuring vaulted and beamed ceilings and large picture windows that offer breathtaking views of the grounds. The master bedroom boasts an impressive arch window and a stylish en-suite with a standalone ‘claw foot’ bath. The additional three bedrooms share a luxurious new family bathroom, complete with roll top bath and separate shower.
The outdoor space is equally impressive, with the property sitting on a ¼-acre plot. The front features a private cobbled courtyard with ample parking and a lawned garden. A large brick-built outbuilding houses a spacious double garage—closer to a triple in size—along with an adjoining room currently used as a gym and workshop. The private rear garden is an entertainer’s paradise, featuring a lawn, patio, and a premium garden room/office that’s fully insulated, equipped with broadband, and has bi-fold doors opening onto its own patio area. The garden extends nearly 150 feet and backs directly onto the open countryside, providing stunning views and a sense of tranquillity.
Located in the family-friendly village of Rufford, this home is just 5½ miles from the historic market town of Ormskirk. Local attractions include Mere Sands Wood Nature Reserve, Rufford Old Hall, and St. Mary’s Marina. Rufford is known for its scenic beauty, once hailed as “one of the prettiest in South Lancashire.” The village offers excellent educational opportunities, with the nearby Church of England Primary School and Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy in Croston, a nationally recognized Teaching School.
