Homes in Beverley
Beverley is a historic market town, known for its Gothic Minster, St Mary's Church and the Westwood, a large common pasture on the edge of town. Its centre has Georgian and Victorian brick buildings, many listed, around the Saturday Market and Wednesday Market, and much of the town is in a conservation area. The North Bar, a medieval brick gateway, marks the entrance to some of the most expensive streets.
Victorian terraces and villas surround the centre, while Molescroft has estates from the 1960s onwards and newer developments have been added on the edges of town. Walkington, Tickton and Woodmansey are villages with older cottages and newer homes. Beverley is consistently ranked among the best places to live in the UK. Low-lying areas near the River Hull and Beverley Beck carry flood risk, and clay soils across the area can contribute to subsidence where trees are close to houses.
Areas we cover include Molescroft, Woodmansey, Walkington, Tickton, Westwood.
