We believe that the Staith is designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM) and Grade II* Listed Building reflecting its national and regional importance.

The property extends to a gross internal area of approximately 1,132 sq.m (12,187 sq.ft).

Description - Abbot's Staith forms a two storey 'H'-shaped building of predominantly stone construction, with some additional brickwork. The west and central wings are surmounted by a flat, concrete covered roof. The east wing benefits from a pitched, tile covered roof. A number of doors are provided. The majority open to the north east, facing the river, although one in the front central bay opens towards Water Lane.

The shop is of two storey solid brick construction. It is surmounted by a pitched and hipped, clay tiled covered roof. A single glazed, timber framed shop front is provided. To the first floor are timber framed, single glazed sash windows. The rear wall is effectively part of Abbot's Staith, although an 'internal' door is provided, linking the two sections.

The property extends to a gross internal area of approximately 1,132 sq.m (12,187 sq.ft).

Location - The property is positioned to the north east of Water Lane within the heart of Selby town centre.

The Quay road extends to the north west which provides access to a private driveway extending to the north east. To the south west is a now disused public house and nightclub. The Westfield Mill buildings separate the subject property from the River Ouse. On the opposite side of Water Lane is the popular Micklegate Car Park. Micklegate forms a popular retail/leisure location.

We believe that Abbot's Staith previously formed a seed merchants and counting house, before being utilised for storage and community purposes. Prospective purchasers are invited to make their own enquiries with the local planning authority, Selby District Council, in terms of the suitability of their proposed uses of the subject property from a planning perspective.
