York House was built around 1890, originally the property also incorporated the adjoining house to the right, now know as Magnolia house, which began life as a till house before later becoming a ships chandlery. During the second World War, York House was requisitioned by the Royal Air Force, thanks to its exceptional vantage point overlooking the mouth of the River Exe and Exmouth Bay. The property was subsequently owned for many years by a well-known local artist. In 2025 York House underwent an extensive, top-to-bottom renovation programme, completed to an exceptional standard. From the moment you arrive, the property’s remarkable waterfront setting and beautifully restored period character are immediately apparent. The recent renovation has been thoughtfully executed, combining timeless architectural features with high quality contemporary finishes throughout.
