Yew Tree Close, Rufforth, York, YO23 3RG

This beautifully presented detached home in Rufforth has been thoughtfully extended and completely upgraded throughout. Every element has been considered, from the new windows and doors to the stylish oak flooring and high-quality finishes — this is truly a move-straight-in home.

At the heart of the house is the stunning single-storey rear extension, creating a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Flooded with natural light from skylights and large French doors, this contemporary area opens directly onto the garden’s decked terrace — perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The kitchen is sleek and modern, with integrated appliances, quartz worktops and breakfast bar seating, combining practicality with style. There is also a useful guest cloakroom on the ground floor.

The adjoining family area is designed for modern living, featuring real oak flooring, solid oak glazed internal doors and elegant décor in calming tones. To the front, the separate lounge offers a cosier setting, complete with a log-burning stove and feature wall — ideal for those winter evenings.

Upstairs, there are four generous bedrooms, all beautifully styled, and a stunning family bathroom finished in natural stone with a bath and shower over, giving a spa-like feel.

Every detail has been upgraded, including new windows and doors throughout, a new boiler, solid oak glazed internal doors and real oak flooring to the open-plan area. The property also benefits from a concrete imprint driveway providing parking for two cars, a partially boarded loft with ladder access, and an integral garage offering excellent storage or potential for conversion (subject to consent).

Outside, the French doors open onto a decked entertaining area and a pretty, private garden with mature planting — perfect for summer evenings with friends and family.

Rufforth is one of York’s most desirable villages, known for its wonderful community spirit and excellent amenities. There’s a fantastic primary school, village shop, tearoom, church and village hall hosting regular events. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the playing fields, cricket, tennis and football clubs are all at the heart of village life, not to mention the excellent dog walks and endless cycle paths. And for dining out, the much-loved Italian restaurant Al Volo, on the old airfield is a local favourite.

The village also offers superb connectivity — just a short drive from York city centre, the A1237 ring road, the A64 and Harrogate and Leeds — making it an ideal location for families and commuters alike.
