Location
York’s Dwelling will be found in an accessible location, just outside Yoxford’s village centre and off the A12, providing very easy access to the Heritage Coast and well regarded coastal destinations such as Aldeburgh, Southwold and Thorpeness.  Yoxford is a very popular village with a village store, an assortment of antique shops and galleries, a primary school, two pubs and a café.  The village is located adjacent to the A12 trunk road giving it easy access to the north and south of the County, as well as the nearby market town of Saxmundham, just 4½ miles to the south, which provides a good selection of amenities, including Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, banks, doctors surgery, chemist, ironmongers and dry cleaners. 

The Heritage Coast is nearby with the popular coastal resorts of Aldeburgh, Dunwich, Southwold and Walberswick, and the pretty villages of Westleton and Snape, the latter being home to the Britten Pears Arts and the internationally renowned Aldeburgh Festival.  The internationally renowned RSPB Minsmere, with its fantastic coastal nature reserve, and previously home to the BBC Springwatch, is only 5½ miles to the east.  The nearby railway station at Darsham, which is within walking distance of the property, provides regular services to Ipswich and London Liverpool Street Station.  

Directions
Heading north along the A12 from Saxmundham, proceed through the village of Yoxford passing the turning to the A1120 on the left and the turning to the B1122 to the right.  After approximately 300 metres the property will be found on the right hand side, and opposite Cockfield Hall.

Description
York’s Dwelling forms part of York’s Tenement; a stunning and intriguing example of a meticulously restored Tudor house, that is understood to date from 1592, although is believed to have Medieval origins.  The property also exhibits later additions from the 17th and 19th centuries.

Nearly 20 years ago the previous vendors commissioned a meticulous and sympathetic renovation of York’s Tenement as a whole and in 2022 planning permission and Listed Building Consent was obtained to subdivide York’s Tenement to create York’s Dwelling.  In all, the accommodation extends to just over 1,100 sq. ft (105 sqm) with an impressive open plan, 23’ sitting and dining room, that is wonderfully light as a result of the numerous windows set within the front elevation and with the focal point of the sitting room area being the open fireplace containing the woodburning stove.  There is also the kitchen area, useful utility room, with WC facility, as well as two separate staircases providing access to the first floor accommodation.  Both first floor double bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities; the principal bedroom has an enclosed WC, together with a roll top bath and sink set within the bedroom area, whilst the second double bedroom benefits from its own separate shower room.  

Outside there is a shared carparking area, within which there are two designated parking spaces, and a pedestrian right of way from the carpark leads to the front door of York’s Dwelling.  Prospective purchasers should note that the land along the front of the property was retained by York’s Tenement, with full right of way access provided.  

To the rear is a very good size garden, which is full enclosed.  There is also the 22’ Tabernacle, which is currently used as a home office, together with the brick and flint store building.  Both the Tabernacle and store building offer potential to be converted to provide additional accommodation if required, and subject to the necessary consents.  Prospective purchasers should note that planning permission was granted on 13th April 2022, although that planning permission has now lapsed, to link the Tabernacle and store building to create a holiday unit – reference DC/21/5542/FUL.
