This rather handsome traditional detached residence has real kerb appeal, having no doubt been cast many wistful glances by admiring passersby, its characterful exterior blending perfectly with its village surroundings. Yet beauty here is far from skin deep, with a simply stunning interior measuring approximately 2,940 square feet, which cannot fail to impress even the most fastidious of purchasers, with only the highest quality fixtures and fittings utilised throughout in our client’s pursuit of excellence.

The property has recently been the subject of a comprehensive programme of renovation by a national award-winning local builder, and was the former rectory to the beautiful St. Mary’s Church, which stands adjacent, in the idyllic parish of Rufford, a shining example of the quintessential English country village and one of the area’s finest, with picturesque countryside and a marina to mention just a few of its highlights, yet far from remote, with its own train station as well as being within easy reach of the motorway network. The property occupies a splendid plot, whilst internally it simply oozes style and sophistication, reaching almost unassailable standards to create a home with both class and panache.

From the first step across the threshold via the entrance porch and into the magnificent 22’ dining hall with its convenient cloakroom/WC, one feels themselves falling in love with this home, its charm and character infusing into one’s soul. Conjuring images of family gatherings and traditional Christmases, this fabulous room just yearns to entertain, with solid wood flooring and a gorgeous cast iron fireplace adding some lovely rustic accents. Double doors lead through to the comfortable 24’ lounge, which stretches the full width of the property and is flooded with natural light via the plethora of windows, including glazed double doors onto the rear garden, handy in those Summer months, whilst in the Winter, the parquet flooring and pretty feature fireplace with its inset solid fuel burner creates a wonderfully cozy ambiance. The fabulous 18’ breakfast kitchen is an absolute triumph of design and style, fitted with an extensive range of bespoke wall and base units which manage to retain the character of the property, whilst offering all the latest appointments demanded in modern family life. Granite work surfaces and a classic Belfast sink complement the sleek look, whilst there is a Range-style cooker and a host of other quality integrated Neff appliances, including a fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. The breakfast bar provides an ideal spot for a quick bite to eat before the school run, whilst the washing can be hidden away in the handy separate utility room. The kitchen opens into the garden room, which is a perfect spot to survey the beautifulgardens via the fully glazed bi-folding doors, with the marvellous vaulted ceiling doing much to accentuate the feeling of space, whilst there is also a separate study, which will be useful for those requiring some space to work from home, or perhaps this could be utilised as a playroom, lying just off the kitchen where mum can keep a watchful eye.

The quality finish continues on the first floor, where one can locate three of the five double bedrooms, two of which boast contemporary en-suite shower rooms, the master bedroom’s being luxuriously spacious, as well as the main family bathroom, which is beautifully appointed with a contemporary three piece suite in classic white, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, WC and raised panelled bath with shower attachment. To the second floor, there are two further bright double bedrooms, both of which have quality en-suite shower rooms.

Externally, this delightful home commands a stunning plot, with good-sized garden areas, the rear being immensely private and well screened, being mainly laid to lawn with planted borders and with a substantial stone flagged patio, creating a romantic setting for a spot of lunch when theweather allows, whilst the essential shingled driveway provides ample off-road parking facilities and leads to the detached garage. Properties of such character and quality rarely become available, and we would strongly recommend early viewing to avoid disappointment."
