Location:

Owner's comment:
York House has been a wonderful home for us , nestling on the edge of Hollesley. Near enough to enjoy the useful amenities of the village but set slightly apart to enjoy the sense of peace and relaxation that this house affords. Hollesley is a thriving community with a very composite shop, a pub , garage ,village hall and its own church. There are many activities such as the local WI ,bowls club, gardening club, yoga groups and many more. Our home has been an absolute joy for 23 years and indeed there is an element of sadness in leaving but it is now time for us to return to our roots up north. The views from all the front windows are amazing. Whether this is observing the magnificent morning sun rises coming up over Shingle Street or the ever changing seasons across the fields and countryside. To awaken in the morning and pull back the curtains and to see the red glow of the sun against the silhouetted skyline of Shingle Street beach has been fantastic. Shingle Street is popular with kite surfers and their parasols can sometimes be seen riding the surf . The house is completely interchangeable. Originally the upstairs was designed as one large living room to take full advantage of the magnificent views. The bedrooms being positioned downstairs at the time. The previous owners reversed this design and now the master bedroom , extra bathroom and bedroom is upstairs. We have enjoyed this reallocation of rooms but there is no reason why it can't be moved back to its original design. It's been a fantastic house for us , whether it's been sitting in front of the log burner watching a box set on a winters evening or enjoying the generous gardens in the summer with friends and family, this house has lived up to our expectations and more.
