Whitefield Close, Rufford, L40

Arnold & Phillips are delighted to offer for sale this generously proportioned and versatile six-bedroom detached residence, attractively positioned within the highly regarded Whitefield Close in the heart of Rufford, West Lancashire.

Tucked away within this peaceful residential enclave and just moments from the village centre, this substantial family home delivers flexible living across three floors, designed with modern lifestyles in mind while maintaining a welcoming and practical feel throughout.

Set back from the road with a well-maintained front garden, the property immediately makes a smart impression. A wide driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads up to an integrated double garage, ideal for those seeking additional storage or secure parking. Mature hedging and neat lawn borders frame the approach, giving the frontage a settled, established feel, while the overall sense is of a property that has been both well-loved and carefully maintained.

Stepping into the entrance hallway, there's an immediate sense of space and flow. The hallway is wide and airy, offering a clear line of sight through to the main living areas and giving the ground floor a connected, coherent feel. Off to the right, the principal lounge is a particularly comfortable room — it’s generously sized without feeling cavernous, with dual aspect windows that add to the sense of depth and space. The current presentation is tasteful and neutral, providing a ready-to-move-into space that would easily accommodate larger furniture layouts or a more zoned arrangement for those with younger children or a busy family life.

Positioned centrally on the ground floor is a further sitting room which links the main lounge with the open-plan dining kitchen to the rear. This space offers real flexibility — whether used as a formal reception, a reading lounge, or a playroom, it acts as a useful link between the more active and relaxed areas of the house. There's also scope here, should one wish, to open through fully and create a larger, open-plan living environment that many buyers increasingly value.

At the rear of the property, the heart of the home reveals itself — an expansive, open-plan dining kitchen that has clearly been designed with both practicality and social living in mind. Fitted with an extensive range of wall, base, and tower units, the quality here is evident, from the high-end integrated appliances to the premium quartz worktops and considered layout. There’s plenty of preparation space, clever storage solutions, and enough room for a substantial dining table without impinging on movement. This space naturally flows through to a contemporary garden room conservatory — a welcome addition that broadens the footprint and provides an informal everyday space for family life or relaxed entertaining. Whether enjoying a morning coffee overlooking the garden or opening the doors out during summer months for outdoor meals, it’s a calm, light-filled area that blends indoor and outdoor living with ease.

Completing the ground floor is a useful utility room, providing secondary access to the rear garden and helping keep the main kitchen clear of laundry and household items. A downstairs WC and internal access to the garage further enhance the practical layout and everyday usability of the home.

Upstairs, the first-floor hosts four well-proportioned family bedrooms, all of which continue the tasteful décor and sense of cohesion seen throughout. The main bedroom enjoys the added benefit of its own en-suite, fitted with a modern suite, and thoughtfully arranged to include built-in storage. The remaining bedrooms share access to a well-appointed family bathroom, finished in a crisp, neutral style and offering a full-sized bath with overhead shower, WC and basin.

The top floor introduces two further double bedrooms, making excellent use of the space on offer and adding real flexibility for growing families, multigenerational living or those seeking a separate home office or studio environment. A second family bathroom on this level provides added convenience, making this top floor a particularly appealing option for teenagers, guests, or as a potential principal suite for those wanting a bit of extra privacy.

Externally, the rear garden has been carefully landscaped to balance both ease of maintenance and usability. A generous central lawn provides space for children to play or pets to roam, while well-established planting to the borders gives structure and interest throughout the year. A sizeable, paved patio terrace sits directly outside the rear of the home, providing the perfect spot for outdoor meals, garden furniture or summer entertaining, with plenty of room to extend this into a more elaborate outdoor living area if desired. The garden is private and enclosed, making it a safe and secure space to enjoy.

Whitefield Close is a well-regarded location for good reason — it sits just a short stroll from the centre of Rufford, where you’ll find a collection of local shops, cafes, and everyday amenities. Rufford Train Station is also nearby, offering direct rail connections to Southport, Manchester and beyond, making commuting or weekend travel refreshingly straightforward. Local schools, both primary and secondary, are well-rated and easily accessible, while the surrounding countryside provides a wealth of walking routes and leisure opportunities, all within easy reach.

This is a substantial and adaptable home that will appeal to a range of buyers looking for space, location and a finish that allows for both comfort and practicality. Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the layout and potential on offer.
