Homes in Hull
Kingston upon Hull grew as a major port and fishing city, and its housing reflects that history. The Avenues, off Princes Avenue, is a conservation area of large Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas on tree-lined streets, while Newland Park and Pearson Park offer similar period homes. Hull is known for its terraces, short rows of houses at right angles to the main streets, found off Hessle Road, Holderness Road and across the city.
Large parts of the city were bombed in the Second World War and rebuilt with post-war housing, while Bransholme and Orchard Park are large post-war estates. Sutton-on-Hull and Garden Village have older homes and inter-war semis. Most of Hull lies below the high tide level, and the city was badly affected by surface water flooding in 2007 and a tidal surge in 2013.
Areas we cover include Avenues, Newland Park, Sculcoates, Hessle Road, Holderness Road, Bransholme, Sutton-on-Hull, Garden Village, Marfleet, Orchard Park, Pearson Park.
