Willowbrook Hall Estate stands as a beautifully revived Grade I listed country house, rich with history and enduring character. First envisioned in the 1760s by renowned Georgian architect John Carr, this remarkable property has been sensitively reimagined for contemporary living. Respecting more than 250 years of heritage, its sustainable transformation breathes fresh life into the hall, heralding the start of an inspiring new era. Drawing on the surrounding moorland, ancient woodland, and the dramatic sweep of the Yorkshire landscape, the designers have embraced a natural, understated palette and eco-conscious materials to highlight the building’s original features, soften its grandeur, and invite the outside world subtly within.
