Southfield Close, Rufforth, York, YO23 3RE

Welcome to 10 Southfield Close  a truly special home in one of Rufforth’s most desirable spots. Built by respected local developers Sawden & Simpson, these houses are known for their generous room sizes, solid construction and thoughtful layouts. This one stands out even further thanks to its uninterrupted views over open countryside and Rufforth Airfield, giving a feeling of space and calm that’s increasingly hard to find.

Inside, the house is immaculately presented. The kitchen and dining room sit at the back of the house where the light floods through all day, capturing those beautiful field views. The kitchen itself is a great size plenty of space for a table  and many homes on the close have opened the kitchen and dining room to create a fantastic open-plan family space, giving buyers flexibility and potential.

Double doors lead directly to the garden, which is wonderfully private… aside from the friendly cows who occasionally nose over the hedge to say hello!

At the front, the living room is huge, complete with the ever-popular bay window that adds width, character and even more natural light. A large entrance hall gives an impressive first impression, leading to a downstairs WC and lots of built-in storage.

Upstairs, the wow-factor continues: the two rear bedrooms enjoy spectacular far-reaching field views, while the two front bedrooms overlook the wide, peaceful cul-de-sac. All the rooms are bright, spacious and extremely well cared for.

A real bonus is the extended, immaculate garage with an electric door and side access to the garden. It provides brilliant storage today and huge potential for the future — think annexe, teen den or garden room (subject to the necessary planning approvals).

This is a home you can move straight into and enjoy immediately with only a few cosmetic tweaks you might choose to make it your own.

Rufforth is a friendly, active village community just four miles west of York. The village has everything you’d hope for in a classic Yorkshire setting: a village store with tea rooms, a welcoming village hall, church, and playing fields home to football, cricket and tennis clubs. There’s also a much-loved Italian restaurant called Al Volo on Rufforth Airfield, giving residents a brilliant local dining option without heading into the city.

The lifestyle here is one of the biggest draws. You’re surrounded by open fields, bridleways, woodland pockets and quiet country lanes- perfect for dog owners, cyclists, runners and anyone who simply loves being outdoors. It’s a peaceful, rural environment with a genuine sense of community.

Families are particularly drawn to the village thanks to Rufforth Primary School, a top-performing, nurturing school with strong community involvement.

Despite its rural feel, Rufforth is exceptionally well connected. The A64 is less than 10 minutes away, offering quick links to Leeds and the wider motorway network, while York Railway Station provides fast connections to London, Manchester and Edinburgh. Nearby York City Centre offers a wealth of attractions including York Minster, the York Theatre Royal, and Michelin-acclaimed restaurants such as Roots and Skosh. Secondary school options are excellent across both state and independent sectors.
