Homes in Goole
Goole is an inland port at the confluence of the Ouse and Don, built in the 1820s by the Aire and Calder Navigation Company as a new town and port. Its housing is dominated by Victorian brick terraces built for dock and railway workers, set on a planned grid near the docks, along with some early 19th-century buildings in the original company town. Prices are affordable, attracting first-time buyers.
Old Goole has terraces near the river, while Hook and Airmyn are villages with older cottages and newer homes. Rawcliffe is a large village, and Howden, a few miles north, is a market town with a Minster and Georgian buildings. New-build estates have been added on the edges of Goole. The town sits on flat land at or near sea level and lies in a high flood risk zone, protected by flood defences along the rivers.
Areas we cover include Hook, Airmyn, Old Goole, Rawcliffe, Howden.
