Abbeyfield House

Welcome to our house

Abbeyfield House, Regency Mews was purpose built in 1998, situated in mature landscaped gardens in the Dringhouses area of York.

There are 21 ensuite studio rooms with mini kitchens on each floor. A lift is situated between floors allowing easy access throughout the house. We have a guest room which is available for visiting friends and family members to stay over. There are two assisted bathrooms in the house and a laundry room with washers and driers for residents to use.

The house has a lovely ground floor beauty room which is used by mobile hairdressers, chiropodists, nail technicians and a volunteer reflexologist. Our gardens are landscaped with quiet sitting areas, many mature trees and a flat access path around the building which offers a lovely peaceful place for when the sun shines.

The local library provides us with a stock of books which are changed regularly for those residents who are unable to get to the library. We also have computers available for anyone to use.

The historic centre of York is 2.5 miles from the house, there are a number of bus routes nearby for access to the city centre and railway station. There are also links to the Acomb area of York and Leeds. We are close by many convenience stores, supermarkets and pubs.  

We have many activities in the house, weekly chair exercise class, dominoes, coffee mornings and film afternoons.

Occasionally we have visiting musical groups, singers and speakers. We also get a visiting PAT dog which residents really enjoy.

There are outings to the theatre and sometimes we are able to organise a trip to the coast.

Birthdays are celebrated with the residents, we have a summer strawberry fair, Christmas events and poetry reading afternoons.

This house is managed by the Abbeyfield York Society.
