As summer arrives, the world’s finest players are preparing to step out onto Centre Court at both Wimbledon and Queen’s, while luxury homes across the country are ready to host their own grand slams. For many tennis lovers, this means stepping out onto their own private court - either as a key feature of the garden or as part of a shared amenity offered to residents.
However, properties with such amenities aren’t just for avid tennis fans. These features can appeal to a wide range of buyers due to the prestige they add to a home, making them a worthwhile investment for many. A tennis court also offers clear health benefits, providing a convenient and accessible way to stay active - something especially attractive to families with young children.
Because of the space required, country homes are ideal for incorporating tennis courts into beautifully landscaped grounds. This home in Flimwell, Kent is a prime example. Set high above Bewl Water in Kent’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this impressive period country house combines classic elegance with luxury living. With over 8,000 sq ft of space, the unlisted home is rich in original features and enjoys glorious south-westerly views across 16 acres of private parkland. The formal reception rooms and six large bedrooms offer refined yet relaxed family living. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds include mature trees, a heated outdoor pool, and an all-weather tennis court - perfect for a post-Wimbledon rally.
Inner-city living can also offer access to properties with communal gardens, providing sanctuary amid the hustle and bustle. This apartment in Cadogan Square is a prime example of London living with luxury amenities. An elegant two-bedroom apartment, it offers classic Victorian charm and is arranged over the upper floors of a handsome red-brick building. The property features a striking west-facing reception room with tall ceilings and wooden floors, along with a separate kitchen and two well-proportioned double bedrooms. Residents enjoy access to immaculate communal gardens - all just moments from Sloane Square, Pavilion Road, and the world-class shopping of Sloane Street and Harrods.
Adding a tennis court to a property can also enhance its overall value, making it an appealing investment. Whether you're an avid player or simply like the idea of a court at your feet, tennis-ready homes are very much in the spotlight. And with Wimbledon fever sweeping the nation, there’s no better time to take a look for yourself.
