53a, Park Road, Barlow, Selby, YO8 8ES

This property is located in the former Selby District, a rural area of North Yorkshire that once had a population of 83,449 in 2011 and bordered several neighbouring districts including the City of York, Harrogate, Leeds, Wakefield, Doncaster and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Barlow lies within the former Selby District of North Yorkshire, an area that existed as a local government district from 1974 until 2023. The district’s council was based in the town of Selby, and it had a population of 83,449 at the 2011 Census. Selby District was situated in the southernmost part of North Yorkshire, bordering the City of York unitary authority to the north, the Borough of Harrogate in North Yorkshire to the east, the City of Leeds and City of Wakefield districts in West Yorkshire to the south, the City of Doncaster in South Yorkshire to the southeast, and the ceremonial county of the East Riding of Yorkshire to the west. This context places Barlow within a predominantly rural setting with access to several neighbouring urban centres. The locality’s inclusion in the district’s administrative framework suggests a community that is part of a broader network of villages and small towns, benefiting from the district’s governance and services that were coordinated from Selby. The proximity to multiple districts may offer residents a mix of countryside tranquillity and convenient access to larger towns for amenities and employment.
