Luxury homes with tennis courts
Working towards your gold medal point? Perhaps you’re harbouring the next Queen V in your family flock? With Victorian vegetable stores and fairytale millhouses as their whimsical backdrops, our luxury homes with tennis courts are game, set, and homestay match.
The days’ first order of play: corral your sparring partner for a morning spent mastering your moonball under the watchful eye of unlikely umpires scoffing on strawberries and cream. Track rankings in a family tournament, sorting your stoppers from your top seeds, and making sure to keep stock of who’s the lucky loser. (Remember, backhanders are only acceptable on the court!) If your opponent is more hacker than hitting partner, down racquets to switch from breaking serve to breaking bread, pondering points won and points lost over a tipple or two. Brooding over a spot of tennis elbow? Soak in a toasty hot tub, indulge in a moonlit massage, or take a cooling lake dip before warming up fireside.
Long distance ping pong not your thing? Our luxury homes with tennis courts have plenty to keep the entire group entertained, from pools to cinema snugs. If you’re more into bunting than grunting, find your sweet spot setting up for the evening celebrations, or while away the afternoon sipping on a signature Grey Goose Honey Deuce. Relish in slices off the court as well as on, tucking into a woodfired pizza made by a private chef, or carving up your own homespun Victoria Sponge pulled straight from a four-door Aga. Whether you’re stanced to pick up or slow down the pace of play, our curated caboodle of Wimbledon-worthy properties are sanctuaries for semi-pros and shamateurs alike.
