Now we all love having a nosey around houses for sale in Leeds- but this one could have us scrolling for hours.
Located in Scarcroft on Thorner Lane, this eight bedroom, six bathroom freehold mansion is officially the most expensive properties on the market right now, according to Rightmove.
A fine Georgian manor house with gorgeous rural views, this is as good as it gets when it comes to country homes- and with 60 acres attached to the property, it’s the ideal investment for a long-term buyer.
The home itself is set across 15,000 square feet with a host of formal and informal reception rooms, two wine cellars, a basement entertainment space with modern bar, cinema, music room and billiards room, six sizeable bedrooms and a further two located in the guest wing. There’s also a stunning leisure wing with jacuzzi, gym and indoor swimming pool, as well as an outdoor tennis court.
But don't just take our word for it, here's an idea of what you'd be getting for six and a half million quid.
The exterior of the property is true to the Georgian style, and spanning across 15,000 square feet.
The indoor swimming pool has a glass ceiling view that floods the space with natural light.
The wine cellars are particularly impressive, with the estate agents pointing out that this has been undoubtably commissioned by the original owner, who is a 'renowned Wine and Spirits Merchant'.
The dedicated cinema space is just one of the relaxing areas of the property, there is also a dedicated music room, amongst other living spaces.
The rooms of the house are neutrally coloured with fine furnishings and finishes that beautifully match the traditional style with modern conveniences.
The garden space is adorned with green details, water features and hidden walks.
The property comes with a whopping 60 acres of land.
Listed with Savills Estate Agents, this property comes with a guide price of £6,500,000 and those interested should contact the registered agent for more information about the sale of the property.
More details about the property can also be found on the original Rightmove listing here.

Global interactive action game Prison Island to open first northern venue in Leeds
Leeds is set to welcome an exciting new addition to the city’s interactive gaming scene, as Prison Island prepares to open its first northern venue.
The new multi-activity entertainment venue at the Merrion Centre will make itself at home inside an 11,000 sq ft unit across two floors, with Prison Island being at the heart of the action.
Prison Island is an immersive team challenge that sees players in teams of up to five tackle a series of themed cells designed to test physical ability, skill, teamwork, and problem-solving, and unlike a traditional escape room, teams can take on a variety of challenges that enable them to create a different experience with every visit.
The internationally established concept will also offer a range of additional competitive experiences - including interactive darts and interactive golf.
Leeds will join a global network of more than 110 Prison Island locations, and will become the concept’s fourth venue in the UK and first venue in the North of England - joining existing locations in Belfast, Maidstone, and Camden.

Prison Island Leeds - which will create 18 jobs once it opens - will be operated by the team behind the hugely successful Belfast venue, which opened seven years ago and has established itself as one of Northern Ireland’s leading attractions.
Suitable for groups of friends and families, as well as celebrations, corporate events, and team-building activities, the venue is joining the Merrion Centre and wider Arena Quarter’s growing leisure and entertainment offer.
Ryan Lyttle, director of Prison Island Leeds, said: "We’re most looking forward to finally bringing the Prison Island experience to Leeds. We’ve seen how well the concept works in Belfast, particularly because it appeals to such a broad audience and every visit can be completely different.

"With Prison Island alongside a range of additional activities, we’re excited to create a venue where people can come together, compete, have fun and discover something they haven’t experienced before."
Prison Island Leeds is expected to be open in time for Christmas, with the team promising special plans to mark its arrival in the city, although details are being kept firmly under wraps for now.
Further information on the opening, including launch plans, will be announced in due course.

Where is Leeds Festival?

Of course you may be thinking this is a silly question to ask considering its location is mentioned in the festival title, however Leeds Festival actually isn’t in the city centre.
Located in Bramham Park, this bank holiday weekend music destination is a 30 minute drive from the city centre.
The full address is: Leeds Festival, Bramham Park, Leeds, England, LS23 6ND.
How to get there
From Leeds City Centre
If you’re travelling from Leeds city centre, the easiest option is to head to Leeds Train Station and catch the dedicated Leeds Festival shuttle bus to Bramham Park.
The festival shuttle operates from Sovereign Square Park, next to Leeds Train Station, from Wednesday 26 August through to Monday 31 August. Tickets can be bought through the First Bus app.
Leeds Train Station is around a 30-minute drive from the festival site, although journey times can vary considerably during the festival due to traffic.
There are regular trains into Leeds from major UK cities including Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle and London, making the train-and-shuttle combination one of the simplest ways to reach Bramham Park without driving.
From around the UK
If you're travelling from further afield, the official festival travel partner Big Green Coach is offering return coaches to Leeds Festival from dozens of locations around the UK. Weekend services can arrive on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and return on Monday, while day-return services are available for Thursday through Sunday.
For those driving, festival parking is included with tickets. Drivers should head towards the A1, M1 or A1(M) and then follow the festival's temporary signage, as routes into Bramham Park vary depending on where you're travelling from. The festival advises following the on-the-ground signage rather than relying on old sat-nav directions or printed maps.
If you're being dropped off or collected, use the dedicated Pick Up and Drop Off zone off York Road (A64). There is no pick-up or drop-off facility near Yellow Gate, and the festival warns against stopping or waiting on the A64 or access roads.
For those flying in, Leeds Bradford International Airport is around a 30-minute drive from Bramham Park. You can take the 757 bus into Leeds and then use the festival shuttle from Leeds Train Station, or take a taxi to the station before continuing to the site.
