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.
This six-bedroom mansion is in the Leeds village of Shadwell and is on the market via North Residential estate agents with a £2m price tag
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.
