Property description
‘Maverley House’ is a quite exceptional four bedroom, double-fronted 1930’s detached residence which is positively overflowing with character and charm, its elegant façade providing only a glimpse of the size and quality of accommodation which lies hidden beneath its handsome exterior. The property has been considerably extended and rests on a large plot of approximately 0.5 acres, being set back from the road in a private position which is not overlooked to the front or rear. ‘Rufford’ is one of West Lancashire’s most sought after villages and is an area renowned for its pleasing blend of prestige homes, its delightful marina and wonderful greenbelt countryside.
The property was extensively upgraded and refurbished by our clients in 2011 and on crossing the property’s threshold, one will be immediately impressed by the high standard of finish, and this along with a practical flowing floor plan ensures that it is simply impossible not to sense that this really is a true family home. The property delivers in excess of 2000 square feet of sumptuous living space, providing well-proportioned rooms throughout, and accommodation highlights include a welcoming reception hallway which then proceeds through into the first of the three reception rooms - the 21ft lounge - a lovely room with dual aspects, an abundance of natural light, wooden flooring, French doors out into the gardens and a feature inset multi fuel stove. Just across the hallway is the sitting room - another delightful space with front facing aspects and an attractive feature wood burning fire. The formal dining room provides an ideal space for those frequent dinner parties and is open to the kitchen which itself offers great social space and includes an array of quality fitted units with contrasting solid wood work surfaces, a centre island, breakfast bar and a range of integrated appliances including a double oven, induction hob, extractor, microwave, dishwasher, and wine coolers along with space for an American style fridge freezer. The downstairs living areas are rounded off with a handy two piece cloaks/wc.
On the first floor there are four excellent bedrooms – all of which are good sized doubles, including the fabulous master suite, which is complete with a two piece en-suite wet room. The three further bedrooms are served by a four-piece bathroom finished in classic white and comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, WC, panelled bath and separate corner shower unit.
Externally, the property faces towards the grounds of Rufford Old Hall and is set back from the road, being garden fronted with an abundance of forecourt parking which continues to the side elevation and an attached double garage. The beautiful rear garden is larger than average and is mainly laid to lawn with mature borders. A summerhouse provides the perfect spot in which to relax with a glass or wine or two after a tough day in the office, or perhaps enjoy a barbecue in the summer and take in the sunny aspects towards the protected woodland at the rear. Whilst in a rural area, Rufford is totally accessible and is ideal for the commuter with a railway station and just a 15 minute drive to the M6 motorway. The property is also in the catchment area for a number of highly regarded schools at both primary and secondary level and is well placed for nearby Burscough, a thriving town with a burgeoning wine bar and cafe scene.
