Inside the West Midlands mansion with an underground arcade

This quirky five-bedroom mansion, on the market for £4million, is home to a gaming wonderland as it boasts its very own underground amusement arcade.

Orchard Manor in Sutton Coldfield has a basement that is jam-packed with more than 40 fruit machines as well as other classic arcade games.

The private leisure complex also features a heated indoor swimming pool, whirlpool, steam room, sauna, home gym, and a games room with a full-size snooker table.

The sprawling multi-million pound home is spread over an impressive 10,431 sq ft and is set over three floors with separate entertaining areas.

Orchard Manor is tucked away on a private plot, nestled in the corner of The Orchards, off Ladywood Road, which is one of the most desirable roads on the Four Oaks Estate.

The estate is an exclusive residential area lying along the northern and eastern borders of Sutton Park.

Originally the site of Four Oaks Hall, the house and its surrounding land were sold in 1868 to Hubert de Burgh-Canning, 2nd Marquess of Clanricarde for residential development.

Rightmove’s property expert Miles Shipside said: “Many of us have been spending lots more time at home lately, but if I had a personal amusement arcade at home I’m not sure I’d have got much work done over the past few months.

“This property reminds me of the film ‘Big’, where Tom Hanks is aged to adulthood overnight and turns his home into a private playground. The owners have found a brilliantly quirky way to transform a spare living space, and just when I thought I’d seen it all, I find a miniature Las Vegas casino on Rightmove!”

This property is listed for sale with Aston Knowles.
