York House occupies a prominent position on the High Street on the village of Sturminster Marshall, a quiet village 8 miles north of Poole and just 4 miles from the pretty market town of Wimborne Minster.
The whole house underwent a full programme of renovation and modernisation, and brought back to its former glory in 2000. Work completed included new roof, ceilings, floors, insulation to roof, wall and underfloor, double glazing throughout, plumbing and re-wiring, new kitchen and bathrooms.
New carpets and a new BAXI combi boiler were fitted last year.
