Property Description
Step Inside:-
Some homes are merely decorated. Others are composed.
Old House belongs firmly in the latter camp. Substantially improved by the current owners, this is a home of warmth, individuality and unmistakable character, where exposed timbers, traditional doors and richly layered interiors sit alongside significant practical upgrades. The result feels established rather than contrived, with the air of a home lifted from a Countrylife magazine feature.
Extending to approximately 1,836 sq ft, the accommodation offers far more space than the frontage might suggest.
The ground floor begins with a delightful sitting room, an intimate space with timber-style flooring, fitted cabinetry and a focal fireplace. Beyond lies the larger lounge, where exposed structural timbers, a substantial fireplace with inset stove and generous proportions create an inviting setting for both family life and entertaining.
The kitchen/diner is one of the defining features of the home and has been upgraded with a new bespoke Murdoch & Troon kitchen. Painted cabinetry is paired with solid oak worktops, while exposed ceiling timbers and terracotta-toned flooring add warmth and authenticity. There is ample room for a substantial dining table, making this a genuinely social kitchen.
The specification includes an induction hob with built-in air fryer, new Bosch appliances, dishwasher and washing machine. A substantial garage sits beyond, offering excellent storage, secure parking or workshop potential.
The property also benefits from a newly installed combi boiler (April 2025) with 10 year warranty.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly impressive, generous in scale and full of personality. From here, the layout leads through a dedicated study/dressing area, creating an unusually flexible private suite.
The adjoining en-suite bathroom is a genuine showpiece, with a freestanding roll-top style bath, statement vanity arrangement and patterned flooring creating a distinctly boutique feel.
There are two further double bedrooms, both well proportioned, together with a family bathroom featuring a bath and shower arrangement. The current owners have also installed a brand new combi boiler.
Throughout the house, exposed beams, timber doors, broad windows and considered finishes give the interior a layered, individual character. Yet beneath the style is a genuinely practical home with generous rooms and a layout well suited to family life, home working or frequent guests.
Step Outside:-
The outside space is every bit as distinctive as the interior.
The property occupies an established plot enclosed in part by handsome brick walling, creating a series of beautifully defined garden and courtyard areas. Rather than one conventional garden, the grounds unfold in layers, with gravelled seating spaces, planted borders, paved terraces and sheltered corners.
The walled courtyard garden is a particular delight. Gravelled for ease of maintenance and softened by colourful planting, pots and seating areas, it has the atmosphere of a private courtyard tucked behind an old inn or country house. Double timber gates provide privacy and a strong sense of arrival.
A further garden section combines lawn, established planting and additional seating, while mature greenery softens the boundaries and enhances the sense of enclosure.
The grounds are clearly designed to be enjoyed, with spaces for morning coffee, summer lunches and evening drinks. Brickwork, gravel, terracotta pots and traditional structures create strong visual continuity throughout.
Practicality is equally impressive. A generous gated gravel driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads to the substantial garage, ideal for secure storage, hobby use, workshop space or covered parking.
Location:-
Old House stands on High Street in South Ferriby, a highly regarded North Lincolnshire village close to the southern bank of the Humber and surrounded by attractive countryside.
The village is well suited to buyers seeking character and a more peaceful setting without surrendering accessibility. Nearby Barton-upon-Humber provides a wider range of shops, services, schooling and everyday amenities.
The area is well connected for travel towards Hull, Scunthorpe, Brigg and the wider Humber region, with the Humber Bridge providing an important link to East Yorkshire. The surrounding landscape also offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the open countryside.
For buyers drawn to older homes, village settings and genuine individuality, South Ferriby has enduring appeal. Old House feels entirely at home here, a property with history in its bones and a lifestyle suited beautifully to the present day.
