Situated within the highly sought-after village of Rufforth, The Beeches is an extensively upgraded four-bedroom detached residence, on an expansive plot, offering an exceptional blend of contemporary living, versatile accommodation and high-quality finishes throughout. Having undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and improvement, the property now presents a beautifully finished turnkey home set within a generous and private freehold plot. The property offers a highly versatile layout designed to adapt to modern living, making it ideal for home working, studio use or multi-generational living.

A welcoming entrance porch leads into a central hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor. To the left, the heart of the home unfolds in the form of an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. Designed to maximise both practicality and style, the bespoke Howdens kitchen centres around an island. A range of fitted units, complemented by quartz worktops, have been thoughtfully designed and feature a comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes a fridge freezer, dishwasher, Neff five-burner induction hob with extractor, and eye-level Smeg intelligent self-cleaning oven and multifunction microwave.

The kitchen enjoys a striking vaulted ceiling with two large Velux roof windows, allowing natural light to flood the space and enhancing the sense of openness. The room comfortably accommodates both dining and informal seating areas, creating a sociable and functional hub perfectly suited to modern family living and entertaining.

Leading from the kitchen is a well-designed boot room and utility extension which offers bespoke Howdens utility units offering excellent storage, space for laundry appliances and an overhead ceiling-mounted drying rack system. The room also features convenient access to the driveway at the side of the property.

Positioned on the opposite side of the hallway, the living room provides a warm and inviting retreat, centred around a multi-fuel log burner set within a feature fireplace. Aluminium bi-folding doors open onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
From the lounge, access is provided to a versatile annexe or fourth bedroom suite, complete with its own kitchenette and en-suite shower room with sound-insulated stud walls. This space offers superb flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, home working or studio use, while also presenting exciting potential for further extension if desired, with planning consent already granted.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom also benefits from upgraded glazing, including airport-grade third glazing for enhanced noise reduction. The luxurious family bathroom is finished to an excellent standard and features a whirlpool bath with rainfall and handheld shower over, floating vanity basin unit, Bluetooth infinity demister mirror, WC and a designer chrome dual-fuel heated towel radiator, complemented by marble detailing.

The scale of refurbishment carried out at the property is extensive. The home has been fully replastered and redecorated throughout, completely rewired with a new consumer unit and external supply cupboard, and fully replumbed. A modern oil-fired central heating system has been installed, including a Grant boiler, hot water cylinder, undergrounded pipework and a range of stylish column radiators throughout the property. Insulation has been upgraded beyond regulation standards, with both the main loft and annexe loft insulated and boarded for storage with ladder access.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A substantial landscaped plot wraps around the home, providing full 360-degree access, extensive parking and a double garage with power and lighting. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed with expansive reclaimed York stone patio areas, lawned sections, raised beds and a charming potting shed, creating an ideal setting for relaxing, gardening and entertaining. The driveway features block edging, complemented by repointed stonework and attractive landscaped front gardens with mature laurel hedging.

Rufforth is a picturesque and well-regarded village located just a short distance from the historic city of York. Offering a peaceful semi-rural setting, the village benefits from a strong sense of community, a village hall and convenient access to local amenities, schools and transport links, including regular bus route. Excellent road connections provide fast and easy access to York, Wetherby and Harrogate or south to Leeds and London via A1M, making it an ideal location for those seeking countryside living with urban convenience.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated and highly versatile family home occupying a generous private plot in a prime village setting, finished to an exceptional standard throughout.

OFFER PROCEDURE

Before contacting a Building Society, Bank or Solicitor you should make your offer to the office dealing with the sale, as any delay may result in the sale being agreed to another purchaser, thus incurring unnecessary costs. Under the Estate Agency Act 1991, you will be required to provide us with financial information in order to verify your position, before we can recommend your offer to the vendor. We will also require proof of identification in order to adhere to Money Laundering Regulations.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLIANCE

We are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all purchasers and sellers. These checks become mandatory once a seller accepts an offer on a property (subject to contract).

AML checks are valid for six months from the date of completion. If your transaction does not proceed and you submit an offer on another property more than six months later, or if your existing AML check is more than six months old at the time of a new offer, you will be required to complete and pay for a new check.

We appoint HIPLA as our compliance partner to carry out these checks on our behalf. Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), HIPLA will contact you directly to complete a secure electronic verification process.

A non-refundable fee of £30 + VAT per purchaser is payable for the AML check. This fee must be paid before we can issue the Memorandum of Sale to the solicitors. The fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.

Hudson Moody receives service credits from HIPLA which may be used against other services, in recognition of facilitating the checks and undertaking associated administrative compliance duties.
