New homes near Carlton

Carlton is an appealing village in North Yorkshire situated six miles south-east of the market town of Selby. The village offers a peaceful rural setting and convenient access to larger urban areas like York, Goole and Leeds, so it’s perfect for families and commuters. 

For fans of heritage and the outdoors, Carlton Towers is a fixture of the local scenery – a spectacular Victorian Gothic country house that has belonged to the same family since the Norman Conquest. Residents can explore the surrounding historic parkland, walk along the trails or visit the onsite vineyard and walled gardens, which host regular community events throughout the year.

For daily essentials, Carlton offers its own convenience stores, a post office, local pubs and a village hall. Nearby Selby features major supermarkets including Sainsbury’s and Morrisons, alongside independent cafes and a regular outdoor market. Residents can also access Selby Leisure Centre, which offers swimming pools, a modern gym and fitness studios.

The village is well positioned for commuters travelling by road or rail. The M62 motorway is located roughly ten minutes away, providing quick links to Hull, Leeds and routes north and south via the M1 and A1(M). Local bus services run regularly through the village to connect residents to Selby town centre and Snaith. Selby Railway Station provides direct services to London King's Cross in approximately two hours, as well as regular trains to York and Manchester. For international travel, Leeds Bradford Airport is reachable in under an hour. 

Families have a choice of well-regarded local schools. Carlton Primary School is located within the village and holds a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. For secondary education, students typically attend The Snaith School or Selby High School, both of which are also rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.
