From the Agent’s PerspectiveThere’s something truly special about The Kings House. As an agent, you occasionally come across a property that offers more than just space or location – it offers a story. Originally built for King George V and Queen Mary in 1935, this home is steeped in history, and that’s reflected in the way it’s been so carefully brought into the present day. The restoration has been carried out with incredible attention to detail. Every feature – from the striking Art Deco architecture to the high-end finishes – has been thoughtfully considered. It’s rare to find a property where style and practicality go hand-in-hand so seamlessly. The result is a home that feels grand, yet welcoming. Inside, the layout really works for modern life. The reception spaces are ideal for everything from quiet evenings to larger get-togethers. The galleried entrance makes a stunning first impression, and the large windows throughout the house mean natural light is always part of the picture. Each of the five bedrooms is generously sized, and the bathrooms are fitted to a high standard. The kitchen is a real highlight – stylish, functional, and very well equipped. Outside, the plot is both private and spacious, set back from the road behind electric gates. The terrace stretches the full width of the house, facing west, so you can enjoy the best of the afternoon and evening sun. Whether you're relaxing or hosting, this part of the home is made for it. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. Cottingham offers great amenities, and you’re just a short walk from the railway station.

C.B. Marshall’s design was selected as a result of a competition and a full-size replica of the house was built and exhibited at the Ideal Home Exhibition, in 1935. George V never lived to see the house at Burhill completed, the ownership of which passed to George VI. Despite the large number of attributions to builders and fitters including Harrods, Royal Doulton etc. In 1935 Dr Maurice Jacobs a pulmonologist from Hull visited the Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia and took a liking to the design of the Kings Jubilee House and up contact with the Crown and negotiated a Royalty fee and with Wheatley and Holdsworth of Savile Street, Hull built a replica of the exhibited house on Hull Road in Cottingham. He lived and had his surgery there until the sixties. He built a north facing courtyard balcony for treating TB patients who slept on the balcony. In 1964 he sold about ½ an acre of the garden. After his death in March 1965 he bequeathed the house to Hull University.Between the mid sixties and 2017 the house was used as the Vice Chancellors residence. The Kings House, No 4 Hull Road, is a large Neo-Georgian style Art Deco detached house, built mid-1930’s, by W.B. Wheatley for Dr M. Jacobs. It is a replica of The Kings House at Burhill, Surrey by C. Beresford Marshall, circa 1935 presented to King George V by the Royal Warrant Holders’ Association.
