      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Quietly located on a country lane, just two miles from the M1, this is a home which is perfectly positioned for modern life. Nearly 4,000 sq ft of comfort unfolds within, each space finished with craftsmanship and care, every outlook revealing the home's gentle warmth. 

A Warm Welcome 

Quietly located on a country lane, just two miles from the M1, this is a home which is perfectly positioned for family life. Nearly 4,000 sq ft of comfort unfolds within, each space finished with craftsmanship and care, every outlook revealing the home's gentle warmth. 

Approached through a quiet lane, Stoney Banks immediately conveys its character. A wide cobbled driveway provides parking for up to four cars, framed by mature hedges that heighten the sense of seclusion. The soft blue front door offers a hint of the elegance inside, while fields to the rear are a constant reminder of the home's rare position in the landscape. 

Step inside and light spills across the wide entrance hallway, illuminating the detailing that defines the home, seven-inch skirting boards, oak doors with brass hinges, beautifully crafted coving and a calm palette that brings cohesion to the interior. The layout flows naturally, designed for ease and connection.
 
Crafted for Connection 

At the heart of the home lies a kitchen designed for both everyday ease and effortless hosting. Bespoke cabinetry lines the walls, creating generous storage and a sense of quiet order. The central island forms a natural gathering point, while the Aga brings warmth and tradition. The space is arranged for effortless movement between preparation, cooking and conversation, allowing the kitchen to serve as the social hub of the home. 

Adjoining the kitchen, a spacious utility room offers a double sink, brickwork detailing, and space for both washer and dryer. A side door opens directly to the courtyard and garden, making outdoor living wonderfully effortless.

Beyond, the dining room offers a graceful setting for entertaining and everyday meals alike. High ceilings lend a sense of proportion and calm, while the large window frames views of the back garden and surrounding fields.
 
Designed for Living 

Across the hall, the sitting room offers calm sophistication. Generous in scale, with windows to three sides that capture sunlight throughout the day, it is a room made for both quiet evenings and lively gatherings. A log-burning stove sits within a stone fireplace, casting a warm glow in the colder months.

A separate study provides an additional flexible space, ideal as a snug, playroom or home study. With soft natural light and a peaceful outlook, it can shift easily to suit the rhythm of family life, equally comfortable as a creative corner or a quiet retreat. 

Discreetly positioned off the hall, a ground-floor cloakroom and practical storage ensure that the beauty of the space is never at the expense of function. 

Soak and Sleep 

The staircase rises gracefully, guided by a tall window that frames the garden. Natural light fills the landing, creating a sense of continuity between the floors. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged with comfort and proportion in mind, each space defined by subtle luxury. 

The master bedroom, is an elegant retreat, thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the garden and countryside views. Two large windows showcase the stunning sunsets that are visible over Woolley, while soft tones and considered proportions create a sense of calm.  A generous walk-in dressing room provides ample storage, leading through to a private en-suite completed with a freestanding bath and a separate shower. Every element is designed for unhurried living, a space that feels indulgent yet deeply restful. 

Along the landing lies bedroom two, positioned to the right of the stairs. This calming double room looks out across the rear garden, where mature planting and lawns lend a private, green backdrop. Finished with an en-suite shower room, this space offers comfort and independence for guests or family alike. 

Continue along to bedroom three, distinguished by its trio of windows that capture natural light from multiple angles. Each window frames a different aspect of the surrounding gardens. Fitted wardrobes blend seamlessly with the d?cor, providing generous and practical storage without disturbing the calm composition of the space. 

At the far end of the landing lies bedroom four, an impressive and cleverly configured space. With views stretching across both the front and rear gardens. A partition wall divides the space into two distinct areas: one ideal for study or quiet work, the other for sleep and relaxation. Built-in wardrobes maintain the refined, consistent finish found throughout the home. The loft space, which is boarded and provides additional storage, can also be accessed through this area. 

Completing this floor is the family bathroom, a generous and beautifully composed space. Finished in neutral tones, it features both a bath and a separate shower, alongside a fitted vanity and basin. The soft natural light enhances its calm, restorative atmosphere, creating a room that feels quietly indulgent. Stepping back onto the spacious landing you find a large built in storage cupboard, a practical and well-placed addition that keeps the upper floor effortlessly organised. 
 
Gardens and Grounds 

Wrapping around three sides of the home, the gardens at Stoney Banks offer both privacy and beauty. Manicured lawns and well-stocked borders bring colour and structure through every season. 

A permanent car port, versatile workshop, and garden W.C. sit along the courtyard, which links seamlessly with the main garden to offer flexible space for entertaining, working or creative pursuits. 

Out and about 

From its peaceful rural setting, Stoney Banks offers effortless access to natural beauty. Whether it's a brief 15-minute stroll or an immersive three-hour hike, countless routes unfold through country lanes and leafy footpaths, inviting exploration in every season.

Everyday conveniences are equally near at hand, with supermarkets within easy reach. Commuting is straightforward, with road and rail links from Woolley providing swift access to Wakefield and Leeds, and direct trains from Wakefield to London. Families are well placed, with a choice of respected primary, secondary and independent schools across the region.

Stoney Banks is a home rich in character and warmth, perfectly suited to those who value space, privacy and the outdoors. Every element, from the oak doors to the landscaped gardens, has been shaped with integrity and care. It is a place that promises restful nights and peaceful days, a residence where elegance and ease live side by side.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[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.

Enjoying a privileged position overlooking the village green, this intimate enclave of former cottages and service buildings, once the working heart of the wider grounds, forms a richly layered architectural setting steeped in history and character. 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. 

Positioned at the end of the corridor, the master bedroom offers a sense of quiet seclusion and calm. 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. 

Out and About 

Beyond the walls of The Old Storehouse stretches a village rich with heritage. Cottages line winding lanes, and the rhythm of daily life remains delightfully unhurried. 

Surrounded by a network of scenic routes, the area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with the woodland and lakeside trails of Newmillerdam Country Park close by, alongside the inspiring Yorkshire Sculpture Park. 

Food and drink options are plentiful with Capri restaurant, and a selection of cosy pubs close at hand. The village's strong sense of community is reflected in its active village hall, church, and nearby golf course. 

Wakefield and Leeds are easily reached by road and rail, and the M1 provides convenient access while remaining far enough away to preserve the area's peaceful atmosphere. 

Brimming with character and warmth, The Old Storehouse offers a peaceful, charming retreat where outdoor living and everyday comfort sit beautifully together.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[A Warm Welcome

Nestled in the sought-after village of Woolley, Pooh Cottage offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern craftsmanship. Built in the 18th Century, once part of a row of cottages, two have been seamlessly combined into one expansive, extended home that radiates character whilst embracing contemporary comfort. 

A solid oak front door opens into a welcoming hall laid in York stone paving, their natural texture offering an immediate sense of grounding as you step inside. This inviting entrance sets the tone for the home- warm, characterful, and thoughtfully composed.

To the right, a well-designed downstairs WC provides convenience for guests, featuring contemporary fixtures and a continuation of the stone flooring that subtly echoes the home's heritage. Opposite the cloakroom sits a useful under-stairs cupboard, discreetly positioned to offer practical everyday storage.

Heart and History 

Straight ahead, a short flight of oak steps draws you into the lounge, where the home's enduring character is immediately felt.
 A vaulted ceiling lifts the room, drawing the eye upward to exposed oak beams and a wrought iron chandelier, while the log burner rests on a stone base that once served as the cottage's original front doorstep, a thoughtful preservation of its past. 
Three large picture windows frame views of the rear garden, making this an inviting spot to unwind with a coffee and watch the visiting wildlife throughout the seasons. Solid wood flooring adds quiet depth, and with its refined finishes, this room offers a grounded yet elegant space for both relaxation and everyday living.

To the right, a versatile room adds another layer of flexibility to the ground floor. Currently used as a home office, it also lends itself naturally to a playroom or home gym, offering quiet separation from the main living spaces. A discreet internal door provides direct access to the double garage, adding everyday convenience.

A Taste for Living

At the rear of the home lies the kitchen, a space where ease and thoughtful design come together. Considered in every detail, the broad central island invites family gatherings and relaxed hosting, while bespoke cabinetry provides generous storage. A bank of ovens, built-in coffee machine, plate warmer, and induction hob ensure the space works effortlessly for both everyday cooking and entertaining. Oversized windows overlook the south facing garden and fill the room with natural light, complemented by double height central ceilings that enhance the room's impressive sense of scale.

Adjoining the kitchen, the dining room continues the narrative of oak and stone. The original fireplace, now reimagined as a wine feature, sits beside the staircase and brings a gentle sense of history to the room. Its character works in harmony with the soft tones and natural textures that define the space, making it an inviting setting for everything from slow breakfasts to refined evening dinners.

Positioned just off the dining room, the utility room offers a practical space that supports the easy rhythm of everyday living. Blue cabinetry offers generous storage for household essentials, while the distinctive patterned floor tiles bring a subtle playfulness that ties the room together. It is a hardworking yet stylish space that keeps day-to-day living running with ease.

Mingle and unwind

Set just beyond the dining room, the snug introduces a softer and more intimate mood. Exposed beams bring a gentle sense of heritage, while the exposed brick fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove, anchors the room with warmth and texture. 
Clever lighting has been discreetly integrated so that a single switch brings the lamps to life, allowing the atmosphere to shift from bright and conversational to quietly cocooned. The room forms part of the natural wrap-around layout of the ground floor, leading back into the kitchen and creating an easy circuit for both everyday living and entertaining.

Soak and Sleep

A galleried landing, reached via a short flight of steps from the entrance hall, leads to the master bedroom, quietly set apart to create a sense of calm. The landing offers a restful nook beneath a Velux window, a natural place to read or pause as light spills across the oak balustrade.

The master bedroom continues the theme of thoughtful design, while a walk-in wardrobe offers generous storage with automatic lighting for ease and convenience. Completing the space, the en-suite features modern finishes shaped to complement the home's character. Three Velux windows draw in daylight, illuminating the roll top bath and the separate shower to create a space designed for relaxation.

Returning through the house to the second staircase rising from the dining room, you arrive at bedroom two, reached from the split landing and defined by high ceilings, exposed beams, and a characterful feature fireplace. Its en-suite echoes the home's signature blue cabinetry and patterned tiles, giving the room both harmony and independence.

Opposite, bedroom three has a softer tone, framed by exposed beams and garden-facing windows that draw in natural light. The freestanding oak wardrobes add warmth and balance, creating a comfortable space for slow mornings and tranquil evenings.

Across the landing, the family bathroom continues the theme with blue cabinetry, patterned tiles, and warm finishes. The roll-top shower bath offers both indulgence and everyday practicality.

To the left, bedroom four unfolds as a charming, generous sized room. With high ceilings and exposed beams, it carries a gentle sense of ease, making it a welcoming retreat.

Across the hall, bedroom five features high ceilings and is currently arranged as a peaceful office overlooking the rear garden. Its position offers privacy and focus, yet it transitions easily into a fifth bedroom when required.

A Garden to Gather In
Outside, the south-facing garden is a private and beautifully balanced space. Bordered by York stone walls and paving, it offers sunshine throughout the day, from early light on the terrace to evening glow across the lawn. The landscaping complements the heritage, with carefully tended borders and spaces for both dining and quiet relaxation.

The garden feels secluded yet never detached, a reflection of how the home itself bridges indoor and outdoor living. 

Out And About 

With so many walks to be discovered close by, pull on your walking boots and explore the locale. Newmillerdam Country Park is close by, with woodland walks, lakeside paths and routes suited to both quick outings and longer weekend hikes, while the Yorkshire Sculpture Park is also moments away. 

Dining is well covered, with Capri restaurant and inviting pubs nearby, alongside supermarkets, bakeries and independent shops. The village has a warm community feel, centred around its active hall, church and nearby golf course.

Commuting is simple, with fast access to Wakefield and Leeds by road or rail. From Wakefield Westgate, direct trains reach London in around two hours, and the M1 is close enough for convenience yet far enough to preserve the village's tranquillity.

A choice of well-regarded schools across Wakefield and Leeds makes the location ideal for families. For those seeking comfort, character and countryside living without compromise, Pooh Cottage offers a life as calm and enriching as the setting itself.
