Constructed in 2014 by the well reputed market leading developers Michael Howard Homes, York House is one of a select number of elegant, period style modern houses built in the mature parkland grounds of the former Amberfield School. The house is situated within the popular Amberfield Drive development, an exceptionally well-conceived residential development, which perfectly blends period buildings with sympathetically designed new homes in a 25 acre former parkland setting. York House is a handsome detached house built in a Victorian style and set back from the exclusive private road.
