A guide price of £1.1m is quoted by Jackson- Stops for the wonderfully authentic York’s Tenement at Yoxford, which dates from about 1592 with later additions.
In 2008, it was bought by the current owners, who commissioned an extensive restoration, the main objective of which was to preserve the property’s historic character and ambience.
Set in some 16 acres of formal south-facing gardens surrounded by grazing, water-meadows and woodland on the banks of the river Yox, York’s Tenement provides almost 4,000sq ft of accommodation, including a 34ft-long, ‘olde-world’ kitchen and dining area; a Regency room, with large casement windows and an original iron fire grate with a carved wooden surround; and a large sitting room with a heavily beamed ceiling, and a door leading to the former dairy, now used as a wine cellar.
The first floor houses the principal bedroom suite, four further bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, with an additional attic bedroom on the second floor.
York's Tenement is currently on the market with Jackson-Stops at a guide price of £1.1 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for more details.
