Pictures: £950K home with tennis court lets you channel inner Andy Murray

A home in Wilpshire will let you channel your inner tennis champion, as it has its very own tennis court.

The £950,000 home on Lyndale Avenue has five bedrooms and is described as a “character-filled property” ideal for “entertaining all year around” – and all in an idyllic countryside setting.

The main reception room is a warm and welcoming space, featuring a multi-fuel stove set within an inglenook fireplace. The exposed stonework and wood beams add character, while large windows allow natural light to flood the space.

Flowing into the lounge is the dining room, where you will find a vaulted ceiling and rustic stone archway.

The heart of the home is the open-plan dining kitchen, fitted with solid oak cabinets granite worktops, and a central island with breakfast bar.

The integrated appliances and underfloor heating are ideal for modern buyers. A highlight of this space is the adjoining orangery, a bright and airy space that opens onto the garden through two sets of bi-fold doors.

The spacious home also has its own utility room, larder, and airing cupboard, providing essential storage.

Also on the ground floor, an office area ideal for those who work from home.

Those with fitness goals can take advantage of the gym, or use the space for something entirely different.

Also in the home is a snug, currently used as an additional reception room—further enhancing the property’s versatility. The snug leads into a fifth bedroom, ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

Upstairs, the master suite is luxurious, complete with fitted wardrobes, a dressing room, and a contemporary en-suite. The en-suite features floor-to-ceiling tiling, a freestanding bath, and a wet-room-style shower.

Two further double bedrooms offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside, each with built-in furnishings and ample storage. Also on the floor is a three-piece family bathroom.

The property sits in just under an acre of well-maintained grounds. The gardens are a true highlight of the home featuring mature trees, a variety of fruit trees, a kitchen garden, and well-manicured lawns.

There are flagged patio areas that provide space for outdoor dining, while a pergola-covered terrace offers a shaded retreat.

Also on the property is a private tennis court, where you can hone your backhand or learn how to play the sport from scratch.

Despite its peaceful, rural setting, the home is located within easy reach of Preston, Blackburn, and Clitheroe.

A spokesperson for Stones Young Estate and Letting Agents, which is marketing the property, said: “This beautiful detached property is set over a substantial plot which includes ample parking, expansive gardens and a tennis court.

“With five bedrooms and five reception rooms this home provides ultimate flexibility for family life, and unsurpassed space for entertaining all year round. Early viewing is highly advised for what is sure to be a popular property due to the high standard of accommodation on offer.”
