Future plans.

14 York Street was acquired by Hugh and Judith Champion in July 2010. It is the intention of the owners to maintain and where possible to improve on the high standards set by the previous owners. To that end new furniture has been installed and many original artworks have been hung in the house. 

Subject to the constraints of a Grade 2 listing, the energy efficiency of the property has been reviewed, resulting in the installation of low energy LED lighting and improved thermal insulation, a process which is on-going.

Guest feedback is always welcome particularly in regard to what additional facilities might be provided supplied and how the existing facilities might be improved.
