The Cocoa Works, Haxby Road, York, YO31

Part of the brilliant new development of the former Rowntree Chocolate factory, this one bedroom apartment is available for contract reassignment.


One of the first properties to be reserved when the development was released, the apartment will benefits from a large open plan living area with a fitted kitchen and also a three piece bathroom. This part of the development is due for completion early 2024.

The property is set on the second floor of the historic building and will feature views to the east towards Haxby Road.

Accessed via a secure communal hallway there is either a lift or a staircase to reach the second floor of the development. Once inside the property, the centrepiece of the home is a generous open plan lounge/diner and fitted kitchen. The living area is bathed in light from large windows and there is ample space for dining. There is also a useful utility cupboard and the kitchen has a range of tasteful wall and base units and built-in appliances. The accommodation continues with a double bedroom and finally there is a three piece bathroom with a contemporary suite.

Outside the development will be delightful communal gardens with many areas to relax. The development will also feature the huge advantage of a concierge team and long term a community shop and café will potentially be introduced.

The Cocoa Works is a leasehold development. The lease length for the apartment will be 999 years from completion of the property. The service charges will be £2.66 - £3.05 per square foot, per annum. These can be paid either quarterly or annually and will be reviewed annually against the retail price index. These prices will be reviewed before completion.

The annual ground rent* will be £100 for one bedroom apartments. The ground rent will increase by the original amount every 25 years.

Due to the leasehold reform (ground rent) act 2022 we anticipate there will no longer be a ground rent charge.

The property will be connected to a mains electricity supply, with mains water and sewerage supplied by Yorkshire water. For information on the broadband types available in the area, mobile availability at the property, please either check the Ofcom website or contact the office for specific details and suppliers available.

The apartment will have electric heating and high performance double glazing throughout.

Please be aware there is a further development placed to the Wigginton Road side of the building that is also under construction.
