Haxby Road, York YO31

Originally constructed in the early 20th century as part of the famous Rowntree's Cocoa Works, the building played a central role in York's world-renowned confectionery industry. The Rowntree family became synonymous with innovation and social responsibility, creating not only one of Britain's most successful chocolate manufacturers but also investing heavily in employee welfare, education and housing through the Rowntree charitable foundations. Following an extensive multi-million-pound restoration completed in recent years, The Cocoa Works has been sympathetically transformed into one of York's most desirable residential addresses, successfully preserving its historic character whilst introducing contemporary luxury living.

Stepping inside the apartment, you're immediately welcomed by an impressive open-plan living space flooded with natural light from the apartment's striking full-height industrial-style windows. The generous living and dining area enjoys an open, airy feel enhanced by high ceilings and attractive rear-facing views.

The stylish contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with sleek handleless cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island, creating both a practical workspace and an excellent area for entertaining friends and family.

The spacious double bedroom continues the apartment's bright and elegant feel, while the beautifully finished bathroom offers modern fixtures and fittings, completing this superbly appointed home.

Residents of The Cocoa Works enjoy an exceptional lifestyle with exclusive access to a dedicated co-working space, an on-site café, restaurant and bar, together with beautifully landscaped communal grounds that foster a genuine sense of community.

Perfectly positioned just over a mile from York's historic city centre, the development offers excellent access to the railway station, York Hospital, the Ring Road and an extensive range of independent cafés, restaurants, shops and riverside walks.

Combining exceptional history, contemporary luxury and outstanding resident facilities, this superb apartment represents a rare opportunity to own a home within one of York's most iconic developments.
