Main Street, Broomfleet, Brough

Offered to the market with the added bonus of no onward chain. A very interesting and deceptively spacious property on a very large plot.

Desmond House is an enchanting property brimming with potential, offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain. Occupying an expansive plot that borders open fields to the rear, the grounds provide a remarkable canvas for a variety of lifestyle pursuits.

The scale of the gardens is a standout feature, offering the rare opportunity to establish a thriving smallholding, create a dedicated home-working complex, or develop bespoke leisure facilities. With its range of substantial outbuildings and significant outdoor space, the property is perfectly equipped for those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle or a flexible live-work environment.

Tucked away in a peaceful East Yorkshire village—a location often overlooked despite its convenient mainline railway station—Desmond House combines rural seclusion with exceptional versatility.

Location - The property lies on the eastern side of Main Street and skirts open fields to the rear in this tucked away East Yorkshire village.

Broomfleet is a delightful and quiet village situated in a good position for the M62 and the amenities of Brough and South Cave. Broomfleet can be accessed either via Ellerker or from Newport and lies on The Trans-Pennine Cycleway. Lying close to the Humber Estuary there are many attractive footpaths in scenic countryside surrounding the village.

Outside - The front garden is largely lawned and partially enclosed by a timber picket fence. A concrete drive leads down the side of the property to the rear and continues under gravel all the way to the rear of the property.

The rear garden is exceptionally spacious for a property of this character, bordering open fields to provide a tranquil rural backdrop. Predominantly laid to lawn, the boundary features established hedging to one side and fencing to the other, which the current owners will complete prior to the final sale.

Positioned just behind the main house is a detached brick boilerhouse containing the oil-fired boiler, with an integrated storage room alongside. Beyond this, a series of further outbuildings are accessible via a dedicated vehicular gate.

This area offers a significant footprint for those looking to establish a thriving smallholding, with the vast lawned areas providing ample room for keeping poultry or large-scale vegetable production. Alternatively, the gated access and existing structures provide a superb foundation for erecting larger workshops or professional studios, allowing for the development of bespoke business premises or hobby spaces subject to the necessary planning consents. The sheer scale of the plot ensures that even with the addition of substantial garden rooms or stables, the property retains a profound sense of open space.
