New homes on the historic Rowntree factory site in York have been released for sale

Cocoa Gardens, the next chapter in the transformation of the historic Rowntree’s factory site, is made up of 302 properties with a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom homes.

The properties on Haxby Road have air source heat pump systems along with electric vehicle charging points on some plots. The first phase of 49 homes has been launched with a four-bed show home now available to view.

Situated next to Cocoa Works, the Cocoa Gardens development is surrounded by a backdrop of mature trees and the iconic converted Rowntree factory. The site has good transport connections, with cycle routes to the city centre, railway station and open countryside beyond.

Nick Udovicic, associate director in the residential development sales team at Savills in Yorkshire, says: “This exceptional and carefully crafted scheme offers a modern-day interpretation of York’s famous Rowntree legacy. Featuring shared gardens and spaces in addition to private gardens, the scheme has an incredibly friendly neighbourhood feel to it, providing a chance to be part of a thriving new community within walking distance of York city centre.

“Latimer is committed to delivering a high-quality development in keeping with the iconic architecture of York and we are delighted to have been appointed to market Cocoa Gardens. We anticipate strong demand from both within Yorkshire and across the UK.”
