About this lot

Multi-Lot Timed Auction

A rare opportunity to acquire Woolley Hall, an exceptional Grade II*-listed Jacobean country house dating from 1635, set within approximately 18.7 acres (7.58 hectares) of mature parkland and gardens in an attractive rural setting. The freehold interest is for sale with vacant possession. The property comprises the principal hall extending to approximately 32,475 sq ft (3,017 sq m) together with a range of Grade II listed former stable buildings providing a further 14,854 sq ft (1,380 sq m) of accommodation. The grounds include landscaped gardens, a walled garden, private tennis court and two entrance gate lodges. Formerly used as a residential college, conference and wedding venue, the property now offers significant potential for sympathetic residential, commercial or mixed-use redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning and listed building consents. Its historic character, substantial accommodation and extensive grounds present an outstanding opportunity for developers, investors or owner-occupiers seeking a landmark property. Woolley Hall occupies a peaceful countryside position on the edge of Woolley village, approximately six miles south of Wakefield, whilst benefiting from excellent connectivity, with Junction 38 of the M1 motorway less than five minutes' drive away. Access is provided via a private tree-lined driveway from New Road. Site Area Approximately 7.58 hec…
