The £2m home with a hidden room in Leeds village loved by sports stars

A £2million mansion in an affluent Leeds village home to many footballers has a special feature in the bedroom.

As well as a large outdoor swimming pool and tennis court, the luxury property has six bedrooms on the first floor.

These include the main bedroom that overlooks the surrounding garden and has traditional decorative panelling across the length of one wall – as well as an unusual feature.

The luxury mansion has a ‘hidden’ room that leads from the main bedroom, which is not initially clearly visible on first inspection

The panelling in the main bedroom has shelving that contains a mini library as well as a separate TV compartment.

What is less visible initially, however, are the double doors in the centre of the wall that appear to merge seamlessly into the panelling.

The double doors open into the bedroom and can be walked through to the en-suite bathroom.

As you walk into the large bathroom, the first thing that you see is a large modern free standing bath tub that sits alongside a large wall mirror and marble tiling.

The tub is overlooked by several windows as well as a separate marble tiled shower.

There are two sinks in a large vanity unit that has identical panelled doors on the front as appear in the main bedroom – albeit in a smaller size.

As well as the six bedrooms, the property has four bathrooms and four separate reception rooms. These include a living room that currently houses a grand piano and plenty of seating.

The house also has a large cellar and a converted garage, which the current owner has run a successful business from for many years. The space is flexible and could be used as a separate annexe for relatives or as a gym.

The house has a gated entrance and a long driveway that leads to an impressive main door with a large stone surround

Inside the house, there is plenty of wood panelling on the walls alongside a signed England rugby shirt, suggesting it could be home to a famous rugby player rather than a footballer

The property is in Shadwell, one of North Leeds’ most popular villages, which several Leeds United football stars call home

The modern home is called The Grove and is in Shadwell, one of North Leeds most popular villages.

The affluent village is home to several country mansions and footballers, particularly Leeds United stars.

Other Shadwell residents include Gary McAllister, who was part of the Leeds team that won the 1992 First Division.

Within walking distance are the village pub, local Post Office and Shadwell primary school. Meanwhile, Leeds city centre is only seven miles away.

The property is for sale for £2million and the estate agent handling the sale is North Residential.
