Owner Terry Fisher, a successful entrepreneur and former chairman of Huddersfield Town Football Club, bought the house 20 years ago when its asking price was £2.2m. Back then it was the most expensive house ever sold in Leeds.

“I had been living overseas in Spain but when I came back, I would drive round the Wigton Lane area and think, ‘I’d really like to live here’,” says Terry. “I was away on business when I got the call about The Manor being for sale. I loved it and bought it because I thought it was the best house in Leeds.”

It was indeed tip-top and Terry and his family initially thought there was no work to be done. “It was beautiful and I can remember saying ‘it’s perfect, we don’t need to do anything to it’, but we did. Over the years we put in a gym and sauna and steam room, added a conservatory, built a new triple garage block with an apartment on top and installed a swimming pool,” he says.

Terry also had a state-of-the-art security system fitted, along with a home entertainment system. Now his children are older, he is selling the family home and says: “It has been an amazing place to live but it is a huge house and we just don’t need this amount of space now so we are downsizing.”
