The Old Storehouse, The Green, Woolley, WF4 2JG

A Home with a History Nestled in the heart of the prestigious village of Woolley, The Old Storehouse offers a rare and beautiful fusion of historic estate architecture and refined modern living.

Originally part of the Woolley Hall Estate's nineteenth-century service buildings, this remarkable home preserves the character and authenticity of its heritage while embracing contemporary ease and comfort.

Time has settled gently around it, creating a sense of permanence and quiet distinction.

The result is a residence that feels well connected, that is framed by heritage yet grounded in everyday practicality.

The Old Storehouse is more than a home; it is a conversation piece, a tangible link to history, and a rare opportunity to live at the heart of one of Yorkshire's most desirable and picturesque villages.

A Warm Welcome The spacious hallway immediately gives you a feeling of home. Soft, neutral St Benedict Antique stone flooring provides a sense of calm continuity upon entry.

Light travels gently through the space, enhanced by the glazed internal door drawing brightness from the rooms beyond, at the far end, a bespoke stained-glass stable door forms a distinctive focal point, allowing soft natural light to filter through.

The Heart of the Home To the right of the entrance hallway lies the kitchen. Solid oak cabinetry forms the backbone of the space, offering storage in abundance and lending a warm, timeless character.

The honeyed timber pairs beautifully with the rich terracotta tile floor.

A dark, polished granite worktop runs the length of the room, providing a clean contrast and adding depth, while the dining table sits ready for slow breakfasts or lively suppers.

There is an easy rhythm here, designed for the pleasure of cooking and sharing. Double doors reconnect the room to the hallway, creating a circular flow that is ideal for everyday living.

Cosy Comforts Terracotta tile steps rise gently from the kitchen into the living room, creating a natural sense of transition.

A glazed timber door opens to reveal a space designed entirely for comfort and retreat.

At its heart, a handsome brick fireplace with a solid timber mantle anchors the room, with the wood-burning stove setting the tone for relaxed evenings.

Triple-aspect windows bathe the space in natural light throughout the day, framing leafy views and glimpses of the village beyond.

Contemporary ceiling lighting and discreet spotlights introduce a subtle modern note, thoughtfully balanced against the home's traditional character.

It is a room made for quiet mornings, long evenings, and an enduring sense of warmth and stillness.

Perfect Practicality Returning to the entrance hallway, beyond the bespoke stained-glass stable door lies the utility room, where everyday practicality is thoughtfully woven into the home's character.

Beneath a wooden worktop and stainless-steel sink, the washing machine is neatly concealed, ensuring the space remains both functional and uncluttered.

A fully glazed door opens onto the sheltered rear courtyard, a quiet retreat where morning coffee can be enjoyed in calm seclusion.

Unwind and Restore To the left of the entrance hall, along the wide corridor, the bathroom is found. Soft beige tiling wraps the room in a continuous sweep, lending the walls a gentle warmth.

The bathtub sits neatly along one wall, complemented by an overhead shower, extractor fan and a vertical heated towel rail.

The washbasin sits on a resin worktop with a vanity unit and cupboard below and a large mirror together with a tall wall cabinet with internal razor socket above.

Thoughtfully designed and calming in atmosphere, the space offers a quiet moment of rest at either end of the day.

Adjacent lies bedroom two, a beautifully adaptable space that transitions effortlessly from a serene bedroom to an elegant home office.

A trio of windows spans the far wall, filling the room with natural light and framing views towards the village green, lending the space an uplifting sense of openness.

Beneath the windows, a bespoke corner desk provides a generous working surface, complemented by open shelving for books and personal touches.

Soft natural light streams through three wide windows, their warm timber frames echoing the character found throughout the home.

Built-in wardrobes extend along one wall, delivering generous storage while preserving a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.

Finished in soft, neutral tones and beautifully proportioned, the room invites rest, relaxation, and an unhurried pace of living.

Graceful Gardens At the front of the home, stone pathways introduce texture and gently guide the eye through layered planting and pockets of greenery.

The driveway provides off-street parking for up to three vehicles, along with access to a spacious single garage with shelving and an external EV charging point, while established shrubs and borders lend soft structure and seasonal interest.

Low stone walls offer privacy without compromising the garden's open, relaxed feel.

To the rear, a paved patio extends the living space outdoors, providing an inviting setting for coffee, family gatherings, or unhurried evenings.
