This huge country retreat is just 25 minutes from Leeds city centre

Kings Lea may only be a 25-minute drive from Leeds city centre .

But this dream home has all the trappings of a country retreat including a long private driveway and extensive grounds with a large pond.

The five-bedroom home, on the edge of the Leeds urban sprawl, is on sale for £1,399,000.

And at less than three miles from Leeds Bradford Airport it's an ideal home for a jet-set family.

Estate agent Fine and Country is marketing the property.

A listing for the home reads: "A rare and unique opportunity has arisen to purchase this substantial and well-presented five bedroom detached family home sitting in private grounds extending to approximately 1.6 acres.

"Kings Lea sits along a private road and offers privacy and seclusion whilst being well positioned for commuting to Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate."

Downstairs Kings Lea has a huge sitting room and a large open plan living room, dining room and kitchen. There's also another dining room and an extra lounge plus a study and a utility room.

Upstairs the Cookridge home has a massive master bedroom featuring a balcony with rural views, a dressing room, an ensuite and even a gym.

The listing says: "The magnificent air conditioned master suite comprises; stunning bedroom with double doors opening onto a roof terrace with incredible views over the gardens and beyond, open access into a walk-in dressing area, a luxurious large en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating, free standing bath, large walk in walk out shower, generous wash hand basin and w/c.

"There is a further useful room which has previously been used as a gym, but which also makes for an ideal make up/dressing room or nursery."

The first floor also includes four more bedrooms – two of which are en-suite – and a master bathroom.

Outside you get 1.6 acres of gardens featuring a large pond with an island and a double garage.
