Set well back from the road behind an impressive in-and-out driveway, with a detached double garage and mature grounds wrapping around the property, the home offers an enviable combination of privacy, space and outstanding potential.
From the moment you arrive, the setting is immediately impressive.

The principal lounge is a particularly impressive room, centred around a striking contemporary inglenook fireplace complete with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the seasons. Generous proportions make it equally suited to cosy evenings or larger family gatherings.
The spacious kitchen forms the heart of the home, flowing effortlessly into a charming sitting area that provides the perfect setting for everyday family life, morning coffee or informal entertaining. A separate utility room adds practicality, while the overall layout offers excellent versatility.
One of the home's standout features is the ground floor bedroom suite, complete with its own en-suite shower room and French doors opening directly onto the patio and swimming pool. Whether used as a luxurious guest suite, accommodation for a dependent relative, or a superb principal bedroom, it offers flexibility rarely found in homes of this style.
Upstairs, four further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom, providing ample accommodation for growing families.
Combining a premier village location, one of the development's largest and most established plots, exceptional outdoor potential and over 2,200 square feet of versatile living space, this is a home that offers buyers the opportunity to create something truly special in one of Rufford's most sought-after settings.
