Game, set and match - Wakefield house with its own tennis court

Specifically designed to create a bright, airy and spacious home overlooking its own private gardens, this expansive family house on Painthorpe Lane, Wakefield, has been thoughtfully finished to an excellent standard.

A modest entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hall that has a guest w.c. off to the side with a built in cloakroom cupboard. The principal living room is of grand proportions and has two sets of French doors to the gardens.

There is a separate atmospheric formal dining room beyond which there is an inner hallway that leads through to a private office. A stunning kitchen is situated to the rear, lavishly fitted to a most impressive standard and having two sets of bi-folding doors to a superb decked outside entertaining area next to a lovely vaulted sun room.

There is a well proportioned laundry/utility room in addition to a store room and a further w.c. situated for ease of access from the sun deck and tennis court. On the first floor, a beautiful master suite has a feature glazed wall that leads out onto a broad balcony that overlooks the tennis court, as well as a most luxurious en suite and a separate dressing room.

The second bedroom suite is of similarly grand proportions, with a dressing room and further en suite. There are two further bedrooms served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

On the second floor there is a characterful games room with a glazed wall and a total of 12 Velux style roof lights set in the characterful sloping ceiling. There is a substantial loft area presenting scope for even further accommodation, if required, subject to the necessary statuary consents.

Standing on a 3/4 acre plot (0.3 hectares), the property is deliberately orientated to make the most of the views over the gardens that have been carefully landscaped with a colourful variety of planting, expansive lawns, an enviable decked outside entertaining area and all-weather tennis court. An automated gate provides access from the lane with a parking/turning area that leads to a substantial detached double garage.

This property is on the market with Richard Kendall Estate Agent at £995,000.
