This historic house, in a Wakefield conservation village, is said to have a secret tunnel.

As the oldest house in its conservation village, The Old Court House is thought to date back to 1642, and is reputed to have a tunnel from its cellar to nearby Woolley Hall. This harks back to its English Civil War origins.

The Grade II listed detached family house was a farmhouse originally, and it has been sympathetically restored, to reinstate its outstanding period features.

One focal point within the property is the central dining room with a minstrels’ gallery over, which accompanies a formal sitting room, a living room, and a breakfasting kitchen. There is a cloakroom with wet room off the entrance hall.
