6 bed equestrian for sale

Bradley Lane, Rufforth, York YO23

A handsome village house set in around three acres with equestrian facilities.

Description
Set in about three acres with impressive equestrian facilities, this handsome modern detached house stands back from the village road behind a dwarf wall and wide graveled driveway which leads to the integral garage. The present owners have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation and refurbishment resulting in a quality contemporary finish and services.

The ground floor centers round an impressive kitchen diner with separate utility and garden room, perfect for family living or entertaining. There is also a nicely proportioned sitting room to the front of the house, dining room, guest WC and home office which completes the ground floor.

The first floor houses a further large reception space, currently used as a media room, the principal bedroom with walk in wardrobe and en suite shower room, a house bathroom and two further double bedrooms, one en suite, with views across the garden and toward the stables.

There are two bedrooms and a bathroom at the top of the house alongside under-eaves storage running the length of the top floor.

The house benefits from planning permission to extend the garage, to create another reception room on the ground floor.

Outside a timber framed covered sitting out / BBQ area has been recently constructed, leading onto a lawned garden interspersed with colourful flower beds. There are several timber sheds providing useful storage and workspace, behind which stand the stables, comprising three loose boxes and a tack room fitted with a mini boiler providing hot water. Behind this is a winter turning out paddock leading onto the grass paddocks served by water troughs and a power supply for electric fences.
