Upstairs, there are four generous bedrooms, all beautifully styled, and a stunning family bathroom finished in natural stone with a bath and shower over, giving a spa-like feel.

Every detail has been upgraded, including new windows and doors throughout, a new boiler, solid oak glazed internal doors and real oak flooring to the open-plan area. The property also benefits from a concrete imprint driveway providing parking for two cars, a partially boarded loft with ladder access, and an integral garage offering excellent storage or potential for conversion (subject to consent).

Outside, the French doors open onto a decked entertaining area and a pretty, private garden with mature planting — perfect for summer evenings with friends and family.

Rufforth is one of York’s most desirable villages, known for its wonderful community spirit and excellent amenities. There’s a fantastic primary school, village shop, tearoom, church and village hall hosting regular events. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the playing fields, cricket, tennis and football clubs are all at the heart of village life, not to mention the excellent dog walks and endless cycle paths. And for dining out, the much-loved Italian restaurant Al Volo, on the old airfield is a local favourite.

The village also offers superb connectivity — just a short drive from York city centre, the A1237 ring road, the A64 and Harrogate and Leeds — making it an ideal location for families and commuters alike.
