Work has commenced on the transformation of The Retreat, York into a collection of 120 exceptional homes.

The development will include elegant conversions within the Grade II* listed buildings, with many original features lovingly preserved. These will sit alongside newly built homes located on the north-east side of the estate, all designed to complement and respect the site’s unique historic setting with the added benefit of the latest eco features.

Residents will enjoy access to extensive landscaped grounds, including a Peace and Tranquillity Garden and orchard – outdoor spaces which have long been closed to the public, but will now be enjoyed through carefully managed access, ensuring the preservation and serenity of the environment.
