Cocoa Isabella is a stylish one-bed ground floor studio with unrestricted river views in York’s most historic industrial building, Rowntree Wharf, built in 1860 and originally one of the largest flour-rolling mills in Europe. The apartment comes with a free, allocated and secure parking spot - no picking your way through fiddly side streets, it's on-site.
Cocoa Isabella is an elegant mix of cool and comfort with original 19th-century brickwork. Newly decorated and high spec including QLED TV, king-size bed, free wi-fi, modern quartz worktop kitchen with high-end appliances. And yes, those are genuine traffic lights from a Chicago street corner in the '50s.
The property is quiet and peaceful, five minutes from the city centre, combining 'loft'-style living with sophistication.
I also own and personally operate the 5-star reviewed ‘Cocoa River’ and 'Cocoa Lily' in this iconic building.
Hi there, I've spent a career in leisure and hospitality and believe that it's the little touches that make a difference.
Like a personal hand-written greeting, some simple treats to get you going rather than having to search for a shop as soon as you land, and an absolute commitment to cleanliness, comfort and getting a good night's sleep!
I have three grown-up daughters and four grandchildren, but in my defence, I started young...
I love spending time with my children (and their children), live music, food, travel, keeping active and Match Of The Day.
Perfect riverside location, quiet and peaceful (excepting the occasional goose) yet only minutes away from the city centre in one direction and major supermarkets (Waitrose, Aldi, Morrisons) the other way.
Easy to access from major routes, once again you get straight here.
You'll look out on to The River Foss which has it's own 'Appreciation Society' that tends to and cleans this peaceful waterway which, in earlier years, was used to transport newsprint, raw materials for Rowntrees and grain for the mill.
You're also only a few minutes from three miles of walkable mediaeval walls, York Minster, The Shambles, Clifford's Tower, The Jorvik Centre, pretty much everything really!
Independent, award-winning independent restaurants, cafes and bars sit side by side with the national chains giving the visitor unprecedented choice within such a close-knit area. No need for transport, it's all very walkable!
