Ready-made holiday let or stylish city second home with private parking.
Two double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom
Set within the converted Cocoa Suites on Navigation Road, this two-bedroom apartment offers riverside city-centre living with secure off-street parking. The conversion keeps period character — exposed brick and high ceilings — combined with a contemporary open-plan kitchen and two ensuite bathrooms. The apartment is currently run as a successful holiday let and the lease allows holiday letting, making it suitable as a second home or investment.
Practical details are straightforward: a very long lease (994 years remaining), an included private parking space, and a high-quality finish throughout. The apartment faces south over the River Foss, bringing good light and pleasant views from the first-floor position. Nearby amenities and a short walk to York city centre support holiday-let demand or a convenient city base.
Buyers should note material running costs and performance: an above-average annual service charge of £5,344.64 and a ground rent of £300 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and the EPC rating is E, so energy bills may be higher than newer-rated properties. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location. Crime levels are reported as very high in the area, which may affect long-term rental yields or owner use.
Overall this is a stylish, characterful apartment with clear appeal for buyers wanting a ready-made holiday-let or a stylish city second home. The long lease and included parking are strong practical positives; prospective buyers should factor in service charges, heating costs and local broadband/crime considerations before proceeding.
