Wetherby Road, Rufforth, York

Beautifully extended and thoughtfully upgraded, Holly Lodge offers the perfect blend of contemporary family living and village charm. Finished to an exceptional standard throughout, this impressive home combines generous living spaces, high-quality craftsmanship and a lifestyle that makes Rufforth one of the area's most desirable villages. Rufforth is renowned for its welcoming community, excellent amenities and superb location, offering the best of countryside living just four miles from York. Benefitting from a village shop & tea room, Rufforth Primary School and the re-opening of the Tankard Inn pub, there is something for everyone. Despite its peaceful rural setting, Rufforth is exceptionally well connected, with easy access to York, the A64, A1(M), M1 and routes towards Harrogate, making it an ideal location for commuters and families alike.

At the heart of the home is an outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed with both family life and entertaining in mind. A striking glazed extension with vaulted ceilings, skylights and full-width bi-fold doors floods the room with natural light while seamlessly connecting the interior to the garden beyond. The bespoke kitchen, designed and installed by Chapel Kitchens, features beautifully painted oak cabinetry, luxurious granite worktops, a substantial central island and an oil-fired Aga that creates a stunning focal point. This is a truly exceptional space where family and friends will naturally gather.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with external access to the garden and log store. Double doors lead into an elegant reception room complete with a contemporary fireplace, wood-burning stove and French doors opening onto the rear garden. A versatile home office—currently used as a gym—along with a cloakroom/WC completes the well-planned ground floor.

Upstairs, the property offers four generous double bedrooms, including a superb principal suite with its own en-suite shower room, complemented by a stylish family bathroom.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped rear garden provides an ideal setting for both relaxation and entertaining. A combination of lawn, natural stone patio and a dedicated barbecue area creates a wonderful outdoor space, while mature trees, secure fencing and established planting offer excellent privacy and a safe environment for children and pets. At the far end of the garden, a beautifully refurbished timber summerhouse provides the perfect retreat or hobby space.

To the front, a private driveway provides parking for up to four vehicles, leading to a double garage with electric doors and rear access—ideal for additional storage, bicycles, garden equipment or workshop use. The current owners have invested significantly in the property, with recent improvements including:

- New boiler
