The site consists of former student accommodation for the University of Hull in an open and highly attractive parkland setting. The total site area is approximately 10.03 acres
(4.06 hectares) gross.

The site is arranged in a broadly rectangular shape, with the primary area for development identified to the north of the site where the Ferens Hall accommodation block stands, together with the northern grassed area and 3 vacant bungalow area. The access is via a long driveway from Northgate to the south of the site. An access right from the main roundabout entrance can be provided if required as this is within the seller's control.

The site is bordered by further former university halls of residence and parkland to the west, called The Lawns, with Cottingham High School & Sixth Form beyond. There are established and attractive residential housing estates to the eastern and northern boundaries.

Ferens Hall itself is of a brick construction over 3 storeys, being arranged in a horse-shoe courtyard arrangement. There are a number of impressive trees on the site that could be used to develop a sympathetic and impressive new build residential scheme. The site's topography is relatively flat across the site.
