East Bank Road, Sunk Island

A property of this calibre is a rare find. Set within the private confines of Sunk Island on the banks of the River Humber, this exceptional two-bedroom two-bathroom cottage with an array of beautifully converted outbuildings offers a countryside retreat in every sense. Meticulously renovated by the current owners — who took it back to brick and spared no expense in its transformation, including a new roof, new heating system, new glazing with hardwood shutters — the home has been finished to an outstanding standard, presented as a “new home within period walls”, combining character charm with contemporary luxury.

A real highlight is the superbly converted barn, now a versatile family recreational space with adjoining BBQ area — the perfect setting for summer garden parties. The generous enclosed plot enjoys complete privacy, with gated off-street parking, landscaped gardens, mature planting and an elevated seating area overlooking open fields. Surrounded by rural walking and cycling routes, the location perfectly balances peaceful countryside living with striking natural beauty.

Inside the cottage, a striking navy-blue and white contemporary kitchen sets the tone, complemented by an open-plan living room with solid fuel stove and French doors leading onto the garden. A luxurious bathroom with freestanding bath completes the ground floor, while upstairs offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a main bedroom with en-suite shower. Whilst an adjoining outbuilding provides further recreational space, along with laundry facilities and WC.

A uniquely outstanding home of character and quality in a secluded location — viewing is essential to appreciate all this property truly has to offer.

Stepping into the heart of the home, you are immediately greeted by a modern navy kitchen with white quartz worktops and up-stands, complete with breakfast bar seating, accent lighting, glazed display cabinets, and sleek stone tiled flooring. Integrated Neff appliances, including an oven, five ring induction hob, and dishwasher, combine style and practicality, while the layout seamlessly flows into the open-plan lounge. Here, a solid fuel stove with oak mantle creates a cosy focal point, and French doors open directly onto the rear garden, filling the space with natural light and connecting indoor and outdoor living. A partitioned hallway with tiled flooring provides a practical area for shoes and coats.

The ground floor also features a stylish bathroom, beautifully appointed with a grey freestanding double-ended bath and matching vanity basin, combining contemporary design with comfort.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms enjoy peaceful views over the surrounding fields, with the main bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower cubicle. Both rooms are spacious, bright, and offer a tranquil retreat.

Stepping outside, the property sits on a corner plot of approximately 0.28 of an acre, with mature hedging and fencing, offering security and complete privacy - a sense of being in its own little world. A gated driveway provides ample off-street parking, while the landscaped gardens include well stocked cottage-style planted beds, a charming water feature with a small hump bridge, cobbled pathways, a stone paved terrace, and an elevated rustic seating area with BBQ facilities for outdoor entertaining, all enjoying open views over the surrounding countryside.

Completing this exceptional home is a block and steel frame barn, superbly converted to provide a versatile family recreational space, with water and electricity laid on, along with a walk-in cupboard and further store room with a fixed staircase to a boarded loft space providing useful and accessible storage space. Access leads through to the remaining workshop/garage space with a partitioned space for use as a craft room for hobbyists.

Additionally an adjoining externally accessed outbuilding with patio area provides additional recreational space with plumbing for white goods and WC with useful built-in storage.
