May Street, Hull

For sale by sealed bids to be received at our Newland Avenue office no later than 12 noon on Friday 10th April 2026, this lovely two-bedroom bay-fronted Victorian terrace invites buyers to roll up their sleeves and imagine the possibilities. Offered with no onward chain, it presents a refreshingly straightforward and genuinely exciting opportunity.

In need of refurbishment, the property offers a solid and generously proportioned canvas on which to create a fine period home. High ceilings give the rooms an airy elegance, while original touches such as decorative coving, built-in cupboards, a characterful cast iron fireplace and a beautiful spindled staircase whisper stories of its Edwardian heritage. The traditional layout feels reassuringly familiar and lends itself perfectly to thoughtful modernisation, blending old charm with new ideas.

Tucked just off Beverley Road in a consistently popular residential setting, the location is as appealing as the house itself. Local shops, amenities, schools and transport links are all within easy reach, making day-to-day life convenient as well as comfortable.

Inside, gas central heating via a modern Ideal boiler provides a practical starting point for the improvements ahead. The entrance hall leads to a sitting room and separate dining room, both well-proportioned spaces ready to be reimagined and personalised. To the rear, the kitchen awaits its transformation into a contemporary hub of the home, whether that means sleek and modern or classic with a twist.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing connects two generously sized double bedrooms and a particularly spacious bathroom. The layout is clear and uncomplicated, offering plenty of scope to enhance, refine and add value.

Outside, a front forecourt and pathway lead you to the entrance, setting the scene. To the rear, an enclosed cottage-style garden enjoys a sunny southerly aspect and includes an attached brick-built store and outside WC. It is a space ready to be shaped, planted, paved or landscaped to suit its next owner's imagination.

Council Tax Band A is payable to Hull City Council. EPC rating awaited.
