About National Trust - Maister House
Nestled on High Street in Hull, Maister House is a magnificent Grade I listed Georgian townhouse under the care of the National Trust.

While primarily a tenanted property, Maister House opens its doors on select days, inviting visitors to admire its grand interiors and learn about its rich history. The property typically functions as a showcase of historic architecture rather than offering extensive guided tours or exhibitions, making it a concise yet impactful visit for those interested in Hull's heritage. Its 4-star Google rating reflects positive experiences from those who have had the chance to explore its unique features.

Open for Heritage week. Not usually open as tenanted property. Beautiful staircase. Well worth a visit if you are in the area when it is open. Only takes 5 minutes!
Still not open. Doesn't state which office needs to be open to view the stairs as doors were locked though I could see someone working - yes 3 fab museums to visit free close by!
Closed down ? Never seems to be open. If you go 2 minutes across the road there is a street life muse6which is free. Don't bother with this national trust place
Not generally open to the public but look out for it on the Heritage Open Days. Worth a visit, Interesting and knowledgeable staff on hand as well.
Just a quick visit during Heritage Open Day. Fantastic helpful staff and a really interesting place
