About this home

This hugely impressive two bedroom fifth floor apartment is part of the fabulous Cocoa Works development and offers stunning views across the city from a generous open plan living space.

Placed just one floor below the penthouse apartments the property must be viewed to appreciate the wonderful views of the city, including the iconic York Minster. The spacious apartment also features a modern bathroom, an equally contemporary en-suite and the benefits of an allocated parking space with an EV charging point.

The Cocoa Works is an impressive reimagining of the historic Rowntree’s Factory and is placed on Haxby Road and combines rich heritage with modern city living. The development offers easy access to the city centre, while boasting excellent links to the outer ring road and the nearby retail hubs of Monks Cross and Vangarde. Residents also benefit from exceptional on-site amenities, including a dedicated concierge service, a communal library and workspace and a vibrant café. Outside, the beautifully landscaped communal gardens offer lawns, planted beds and inviting seating areas, creating a peaceful space just moments from the heart of the city.

The apartment is reached via a secure communal hallway with either lifts or a staircase leading to the fifth floor. Once inside there is a private hallway with immediate access to a useful utility cupboard. The centrepiece of the home is the spacious open plan lounge/diner and fitted kitchen. Bathed in light from large windows on two elevations the room offers panoramic views towards the city centre and also over Haxby Road. There is ample space for both living and dining and the fitted kitchen features a range of tasteful wall and base units. There are also built-in appliances including an oven, hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and microwave. There is the additional benefit of an island unit which doubles as a breakfast bar. The property then continues with a primary bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and the contemporary en-suite shower room. There is a second, large double bedroom which offers further stunning city vistas and finally the three piece bathroom with a shower over the bath. There are also the advantages of electric heating, a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery and high performance double glazing throughout.
