Homes in Barton-upon-Humber
Barton-upon-Humber is a historic market town at the southern end of the Humber Bridge. Its centre has Georgian and Victorian brick buildings, many listed, around the Market Place and the Saxon church of St Peter, and much of the town is in a conservation area. Brick cottages and terraces fill the streets nearby, many with pantile roofs.
Post-war and newer estates fill the outer areas, and new-build development has been added on the edges of town. Barrow upon Humber and Goxhill are villages with older cottages and newer homes, and South Ferriby sits beside the estuary. The Waterside area, near the Humber, was once home to brick and tile works, and the old clay pits are now nature reserves. Low-lying land near the Humber carries tidal flood risk, and clay soils are common.
Areas we cover include Barrow upon Humber, Goxhill, South Ferriby.
