Travelling around Hull

Hull is well-connected with good and improving roads and public transport. The M62 and M18 provide fast access to the A1 and motorway network south, or west towards Leeds, Bradford and beyond. In terms of commuting, there are many industry bases along the M62 and M18, as well as the off-shot M180. With Doncaster, Leeds and York around an hour away, Hull is closer than you think and new houses here are suitably located for access across Yorkshire.

What’s more, you’re at the beach or in beautiful countryside within the hour. Head northwards to the rolling Yorkshire Wolds, made famous by Hockney’s paintings, and historic Beverley with its Minster and Racecourse. Head east and the seaside towns of Withernsea and Hornsea are a 35-minute drive away. The imposing cliffs of Flamborough Head and its famous nature reserves are little over an hour’s drive from Strata’s Emotion and Attraction developments.

Trains from Hull Paragon Interchange connect you to Leeds, Manchester, York, Sheffield and London. While the city’s waterside location means you can catch a ferry to mainland Europe, with regular P&O Ferries to Rotterdam, Europort in The Netherlands and Zeebrugge in Belgium.

There are four international airports within two hours - the closest is Humberside at around a 30-minute drive. Robin Hood Airport in Doncaster is easy to get to, as are Leeds Bradford and Manchester Airports. With strong connections by road, rail, air and sea; our new homes in Hull are a sensible choice for anyone who commutes for work or regularly travels for pleasure.

Shopping within Hull

Hull has two large shopping centres in the city (St Stephen’s and Prospect), as well as the huge North Point Shopping Centre, around 20 minutes away in Kingswood. The £20 million extension of Princes Quay, built on stilts over Prince’s Dock, will include 24 new stores and a waterfront dining hub. New homes in Hull are well within reach of the city’s impressive retail offering.

The cobbled streets of The Old Town include Whitefriargate which is lined by high street stores. Walk a little further towards the river and you’ll find the impressive Hepworth Arcade, and its collection of independents including Myton Gallery, Fanthorpes Hifi and Dinsdales Joke shop.

The Grade-II Arcade is where Mr Marks and Mr Spencer set up one of their first penny bazaars. It’s also home to Beasley’s, Hull’s earliest vintage clothing store. Beasley’s has been importing from America for the past 30 years and clothes with its logo are in high demand.

Towards the Marina is The Fruit Market – once home to the city’s fruit and vegetable trade - an £80 million regeneration is transforming the area of disused warehouses and cobbled streets into a thriving cultural venue with live music, art galleries and stylish places to eat and drink.

It hosts Humber Street Market every third Sunday of the month. Entry is free and you’ll find dozens of local traders and stalls, all within easy reach of Hull’s Old Town, Marina, The Deep and the city centre.

If you’re looking for houses for sale that are a stone’s throw from the city’s diverse retail scene, Strata’s new housing developments in Hull are perfectly situated.

Best Places to Eat Out in Hull

Newland Avenue, north of the city centre, is great if you're looking for somewhere to eat or meet friends for a drink. There’s Roots Bar for spicy Caribbean food and cocktails, and Sleepers Café - a laid-back place to enjoy great food, wine and locally-brewed beers. It’s also home to The Hull Pie – wrapping everything in pastry since 2011. For Spanish tapas, there’s El Toro on Princes Avenue, which also has a range of independent bars and restaurants.

Get to grips with the city’s best brews on the Hull Ale Trail. It’ll take you to some of the area’s most notable pubs, including the George Hotel in the mysteriously named Land of Green Ginger at the bottom of Whitefriargate (which also happens to be where you’ll find the smallest window in England!) Refuel at the Lion and Key, on High Street, one of Hull’s oldest licenced premises and home to some traditional pub grub.

Kardomah94, on Alfred Gelder Street, has a simple but tasty menu offering salads, grilled meats and fish, and its famously unusual pizzas (duck and hoisin, anyone?) But it’s also a great venue hosting live music, performance, theatre and film screenings, often free.

Whatever your taste, you’ll find a burgeoning dining scene right on your doorstep when you consider new houses in Hull, and we’re delighted to bring new build homes to market right across the city.

If you order chips in Hull, don’t forget to ask for chip spice. This salty condiment was introduced by John Science at his restaurant Yankee Burger in 1979, and has been part of the city’s culinary landscape ever since.

A lively and increasingly prosperous city, our new homes in Hull are well suited for families.

Across our new housing developments Emotion and Attraction, we have dozens of homes to choose from right across this thriving centre of East Yorkshire.
