Bright two-bedroom ground-floor apartment positioned on Selby’s waterfront, suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home or rental. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining area benefits from natural light and direct views over the canal, while two double bedrooms provide practical living space for a couple or sharers. An allocated off-street covered parking space adds everyday convenience in a town-centre location with good transport links to York, Leeds and Hull.
The property is leasehold with 136 years remaining and relatively low annual outgoings: a below-average service charge (£912) and a small ground rent (£180). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming. Constructed in the mid-2000s, the building has double glazing and communal walkways; the apartment offers straightforward scope for cosmetic updating rather than major structural work.
Buyers should note the apartment’s primary heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs. The surrounding area scores as deprived with a very high local crime rate, so buyers prioritising low-crime neighbourhoods should consider this carefully. Flood risk is very low and the riverside setting provides pleasing outlooks and potential rental appeal for tenants seeking waterside living.
Overall this is a practical, well-located apartment for a first-time buyer or investor who values town-centre convenience and waterside views but accepts higher local crime levels and electric heating. Viewing will best show the light, layout and parking benefits alongside the realistic maintenance and running-cost picture.
