Rufford is a village in West Lancashire, best known for Rufford Old Hall, a Grade I listed Tudor manor house owned by the National Trust. The village has a mix of Victorian cottages, Edwardian properties, and later detached homes, many constructed from local red brick. The area is popular with buyers seeking a rural setting with good access to the M6 and Southport. Older brick properties in the village often have deteriorating mortar joints.
