Buy a stunning home in this iconic York chocolate factory and have your mortgage paid for the whole of 2025


The Rowntree Factory on Haxby Road is an iconic building known for generations as a great place to work. Now, after an extensive redevelopment, the final apartments have been released for sale, and you can live there without paying your mortgage for a year.
The Cocoa Works, as it has been named to acknowledge its prestigious past, has one, two, and three bedroomed apartments available to move in now.
A knowledgeable sales team is on hand to guide prospective buyers through a range of options to make a bespoke home for every new owner.
Fully-furnished apartments are available, or you can use an interior designer to meet your exact needs.
The sales team will also detail the amazing offer of having your mortgage paid for all of 2025, including the terms and conditions.


An historic setting
Already, 90% of the 279 apartments at the Cocoa Works have been sold by Latimer, the development arm of Clarion Housing Group, and the final release has just been put on the market.
The apartments have so far attracted first-time buyers, those downsizing, investing or people looking for a second home.
Regional Sales Manager Stephen Maskill says they have also attracted current and former chocolate factory workers. He added: “Workers from the nearby Nestle factory have been buying apartments and those who used to work in the building when it was a factory have also decided to move in.
“It is great we have been able to keep this iconic building recognisable but completely redeveloped in a modern style.”
Latimer took over the site in 2017 and has redeveloped it in a contemporary style which also makes more than a nod to the rich heritage.
Interior designers Tegerdine Associates have merged old and new and given each apartment a unique twist. While history can be felt, there are modern finishes such as Bosch kitchen appliances, and large windows to maximise the views across to the White Horse at Kilburn amid the stunning scenery of North Yorkshire, as well as York’s Minster.

Stylish living
There is a whole lot more to enjoy at the Cocoa Works, other than the stunning apartments. Cavo, a Portuguese restaurant has just opened on site and there is a concierge, based in the former private library of Joseph Rowntree, as well as private meeting rooms and work spaces.
