Former manor house transformation promises ‘different way of working’

Office provider, WorkWell, is celebrating 50% occupancy pre-let following a £500,000 investment to redevelop an 18th century former manor in Leeds.

Purchased by the Corrigan family in 2002, Brookfield House has been the home to Leeds-based businesses for the last 21 years.

Currently undergoing an extensive renovation, the office space is set to open in September 2023.

Located next to Brookfield Court on Selby Road, the renovation of Brookfield House will create access between two red-brick office buildings, and will feature new work space, an open plan kitchen, a new reception and additional provision for meetings.

This will include two more meeting rooms and a 16-person boardroom available to the public for corporate bookings.

Oliver Corrigan, managing director at WorkWell, said: “Brookfield House has proudly been a part of the WorkWell portfolio for many years, and my family has personally farmed the area for 50 plus years, so we’re thrilled to be able to create a greater future for the building while respecting its incredible past.

“We’re proud to offer a different way of working with Leeds businesses. Our approach is not just about offering an office space with four walls.

“Each office park within our portfolio perfectly balances aesthetics with functionality.”

Designed by northern-based creatives, Ekho Studio, the former manor house will feature 9,000 sq ft of workable space once renovations complete.
