Property description
Churcher Estates are proud to present this beautifully unique three-bedroom semi-detached home, tucked away in the heart of Rufford. Surrounded by stunning countryside, this sought-after location offers a perfect balance of peaceful village life and excellent connectivity to nearby towns, including Preston, Ormskirk, and Southport. The village is renowned for its scenic walking trails, such as the Rufford Circular Walk along the River Douglas, and its charming selection of pubs and restaurants, including the renowned Hesketh Arms. With highly regarded schools close by and excellent transport links, this home is ideal for both families and commuters.
Approached via a wooden gate and gravelled driveway, the property's characterful part-timbered façade and welcoming porch set the tone for what lies within. A stable-style front door opens into a light and practical vestibule with bespoke fitted storage-an ideal place for coats and boots after country walks.
The lounge is a striking full-depth reception space, designed to be both inviting and versatile. A large picture window at the front allows natural light to pour in, while French doors at the rear connect seamlessly to the kitchen, enhancing the flow of the ground floor. Exposed beams overhead and herringbone flooring underfoot highlight the home's character, while bespoke shelving adds both charm and functionality. At the heart of the room sits a beautiful brick fireplace with a log-burning stove, offering a perfect focal point for cosy evenings. With its generous proportions, the lounge comfortably accommodates multiple seating areas, reading corners, or children's play space, making it as practical as it is stylish. Whether enjoyed as a calm retreat or a lively hub for family gatherings, it captures the home's unique blend of warmth and modern comfort.
The kitchen is the true heart of the home, thoughtfully designed to combine rustic character with contemporary practicality. Shaker-style cabinetry in soft tones is complemented by brass hardware and solid wood worktops, creating a timeless country aesthetic. A farmhouse sink sits beneath a wide picture window, framing views of the garden and filling the space with natural light. The central breakfast bar not only offers a sociable spot for casual dining but also helps to zone the space for cooking and entertaining. Exposed beams add warmth and texture, while patterned tiled flooring introduces a touch of individuality and flair. Practicality has been carefully considered too, with a walk-in pantry providing additional storage and organisation, while a boiling hot water tap offers instant hot water-blending modern convenience with traditional style. A convenient WC is also located off this space.
From here, the home opens into a wonderfully bright dining room at the rear. A vaulted ceiling with exposed timber detail and a large skylight flood the room with natural daylight, while glazed aluminium doors lead directly onto the garden, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. Warm wooden flooring complements the character of the home, and the generous proportions allow plenty of room for a large dining table alongside comfortable seating. Whether hosting lively gatherings, enjoying relaxed family meals, or sipping a quiet morning coffee overlooking the garden, this space ties the flow of the ground floor together beautifully.
Upstairs, the home offers three bedrooms, each brimming with character. The principal bedroom is a serene retreat, enhanced by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a large front-facing window that frames views of the leafy garden. Fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage while preserving floor space, and the layout lends itself perfectly to both sleeping and dressing areas. Adjoining this room is a private en-suite, complete with a modern walk-in shower, contemporary tiling, a vanity unit, and natural ventilation, bringing a touch of everyday luxury to the suite.
The two further bedrooms continue the home's charm and versatility. The second bedroom is a generous double with a vaulted ceiling and wide window, creating a sense of openness and light-ideal as a child's bedroom, guest room, or hobby space. The third bedroom, overlooking the garden, enjoys a cosy, cottage-like feel with a sloped ceiling and the benefit of a walk-in wardrobe, making it a practical and inviting space for a child's room, study, or home office. Additional thoughtful touches on this floor include a dedicated dressing area and a study nook, providing flexibility for modern living.
The family bathroom is beautifully styled, combining charm with practicality. A large bathtub sits beneath a Velux skylight, creating a perfect place to relax, while exposed beams and soft, neutral tones add warmth and character. A modern vanity unit, WC, and tiled finishes complete the space, making it both functional and inviting for everyday use.
Outside, the gardens are designed to be both practical and peaceful. Mature trees create privacy and a natural backdrop, while a lawn and patio seating area provide plenty of space for family relaxation. Raised beds lend themselves to home growing, and a detached garden studio adds real versatility. Currently used as a gym, this adaptable space could just as easily become a home office, studio, or playroom.
This exceptional property offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and modern family living. From its beautifully styled interiors to its private garden and versatile studio, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Nestled in the heart of Rufford, with its scenic walks, welcoming pubs, and excellent transport connections, it represents a rare opportunity to secure a truly individual home in one of West Lancashire's most desirable villages.
