Property Description

A superb 1 bedroom penthouse duplex apartment with parking, peacefully situated within York city walls.



Rowntree Wharf, with five storeys and a nine-storey water tower featuring original gantries and hoists, is probably York’s best industrial building. Originally one of the largest flour rolling mills in Europe and owned by Leethams, it was founded in 1860 and supplied with grain via barge on the River Foss to the original mill close by. Five years after it closed in 1930, it was purchased by Joseph Rowntree to become Rowntree and Co’s Navigation Warehouse as cocoa beans were brought to the wharf, gradually falling out of use in the 1960s. The conversion to flats and offices began in 1989, wit the final phase of the development completed approximately 10 years ago.

Number 68 enjoys wonderful cityscape views from its penthouse position on the 5th floor, a duplex arrangement with double height ceilings and full-length windows maximising the natural light and sense of space. A highly unique design with original character and exposed beams, the conversion was sensitively accomplished to preserve the building's history and design.

The living space is largely open-plan, a contemporary kitchen with high-quality appliances and ample worktop space thoughtfully designed create a practical working kitchen partitioned from the living and dining area by a breakfast bar. There is a separate utility room with plumbing and space to create a wc if desired, leading from a spacious entrance hallway. The bedroom is located on this level, a generous sized double with a large window fitted with stylish plantation shutters.

Upstairs is entirely open plan; a fabulous loft-style space with exposed trusses and steelwork, cleverly constructed to allow natural light to flow throughout with double aspect Velux windows and glazed balustrades. This area offers great versatility with Minster views, providing sufficient space to designate separate living and study areas, and even a 2nd bedroom if required.

The property comes with one allocated space within the adjoining gated undercover car park, and there is a secure video entry phone system.

Rowntree Wharf is ideally located within York city walls. A peaceful location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet within easy walking distance of York's numerous attractions and amenities. For commuting, the railway station is within a mile and the outer ring road network is easily reached by car.
