Willowbrook Hall is a beautifully restored Grade I listed country house, steeped in history and timeless charm. Originally conceived in the 1760s by the celebrated Georgian architect John Carr, this historic gem has been thoughtfully reimagined for the modern era. Honouring over 250 years of heritage, the sensitive and sustainable redesign breathes new life into the hall, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Inspired by the surrounding moorland, ancient woodlands, and the dramatic Yorkshire landscape, they have embraced a natural, pared-back palette and eco-conscious materials to accentuate the building’s original features, soften its grandeur, and gently welcome the outside in.
