A rare sixth-floor penthouse in a converted Rowntree’s factory, finished to a high standard and arranged over a generous open-plan living area. Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the principal rooms with light and French doors open onto an expansive circa 51-foot balcony with east-facing views over York and surrounding villages. The layout includes three double bedrooms, two en suites and a third bathroom—suitable for families or professional sharers.
Practical benefits include two allocated parking spaces (one with a dedicated EV charge point), lift access, long lease (997 years) and on-site concierge plus communal library, workspaces and play areas. The specification features Bosch integrated kitchen appliances and fitted wardrobes to all bedrooms, giving good storage and move-in readiness. The building’s retained brick façade and industrial character add period appeal while the 2024 construction offers contemporary finishes and good thermal performance.
Buyers should note the apartment is leasehold with an annual service charge of £3,443.28 and electric room heating throughout, which may give higher running costs than gas-heated properties. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall this is a low-maintenance, city-edge home offering excellent views, secure parking and strong amenity provision, best suited to buyers prioritising location, communal facilities and turnkey living rather than minimising ongoing service costs.
