A stylish “blank canvas” that is quite literally awaiting furniture and a family, Beech House is a highly desirable property located at the heart of Rufford’s most rural countryside. Renovated to a very high standard throughout this handsome detached home offers an abundance of living space and will appeal to anyone looking for a property that oozes elegance and style. A spacious entrance hall with bespoke staircase, finished in a chic solid wood and glass design, is the first indication as to the finish that one can expect to find throughout this stunning property. Ready to move into, this impressive contemporary character home benefits from a large open plan style living/dining room, which in turn leads to a fabulous kitchen, a handy laundry/utility room to the rear of the property, and a good-sized study that leads directly to what is currently a bedroom with en suite facilities. It is important to note that this is an extremely flexible property in terms of living space and rooms can of course be changed to suit the new owners with very little effort.

The main lounge, situated to the front of the property, is a fabulous light and airy room offering dual aspect views, generous proportions, and an impressive inglenook style fire surround with exposed brickwork and a traditional wood burner. Offering ample space for a dining table this would be a great entertaining space, with double doors leading out to a delightful rear garden. From here an internal door leads you to an additional hallway, leading to an expansive area which is divided into two rooms – the first of which comes complete with luxurious sunken Jacuzzi and sauna, and would make a fabulous home gymnasium – and the second of which would be perfect as a a home entertainment suite/cinema room, or could be utilised as separate accommodation/granny annex.

Back in the main house the top of the range kitchen is everything that one would expect from a property that has been completed to such a high standard. Filled with a plethora of contemporary gloss units and integrated appliances from leading brands such as NEFF, this is a sizeable room that offers plenty of space for additional dining, and once again benefits from double doors leading to an attractive and spacious landscaped garden.

To the first floor there are an impressive six bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities, and a separate family bathroom. Neutrally decorated these rooms are just crying out for new owners to come and transform them into personalised family spaces. As with the kitchen all the bathrooms/en suite rooms have been finished to the highest of contemporary standards with regards to stylish décor and classic fixtures and fittings.

Externally, there is extensive driveway parking to the front elevation, which leads to a detached double garage. The rear garden is of a good size, private and not directly overlooked. There are lawned areas with mature borders and a large patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. Enveloped by picture perfect surroundings this substantial family home is ideal for modern living, and yet maintains rural charm through its idyllic location.

Rufford is a great family-friendly village, which lies on the A59 road (Liverpool to Preston), and is 5½ miles north east of Ormskirk’s historic market town, which offers larger amenities in terms of transport links, schools, supermarkets, stylish one-off boutiques, popular high street retailers, cafes, restaurants and bars. With regards to education Rufford’s Church of England Primary School is located nearby and is a small family-orientated school that prides itself on offering a secure, welcoming and caring environment. Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy, located in the nearby village of Croston, has been recognised nationally for its outstanding achievements through designation as a Teaching School and National Support School. A largely rural parish Rufford itself is famed for attractions such as Mere Sands Wood Nature Reserve, the National Trust property Rufford Old Hall, and St. Mary’s Marina, which now includes a lovely eatery courtesy of the waterside café. A peaceful haven within easy reach of a number of much sought after amenities, it’s easy to believe that in the 20th century the village of Rufford was described as “one of the prettiest in South Lancashire” and was therefore a popular destination for day trippers from neighbouring towns.
