For those dreaming of a home where relaxation is built into the bricks and mortar, a new selection of properties on the market offers the ultimate in private wellness. From the rugged Scottish Highlands to the coast of Tyne and Wear, these homes for sale come with the coveted addition of a sauna, turning the daily stress relief into a domestic ritual.
Luxury Living with Private Spa Wings
The search for homes with exceptional leisure facilities reveals some stunning examples. In the affluent area of Bowdon, Greater Manchester, a six-bedroom property aptly named The Baths is on the market for £3 million. This modern home boasts a dedicated spa wing featuring an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna, and a gym. For a more whimsical escape, the grounds also contain a Hobbit-style retreat. The property is marketed by Jackson-Stops.
Similarly, in the coastal village of Whitburn, Tyne and Wear, an Arts and Crafts-style home built in 1999 offers a leisure complex. The £2.5 million property includes a pool, sauna, and a cinema room within its five bedrooms. Just a short walk from Seaburn beach, it is sold by Sanderson Young.
Rustic Retreats in Breathtaking Landscapes
For buyers seeking a connection with nature, several rustic properties combine character with wellness perks. In the Cairngorms National Park, near Nethy Bridge, Highland, an old stone croft house used as a holiday let is available for £745,000. The nearly one-hectare site features woodland and a garden decking area with a hot tub and an eight-person sauna. Knight Frank is handling the sale.
Meanwhile, on the edge of Loch Alsh in the Highlands, a former 18th-century manse sits in two hectares of gardens and ancient woodland. This seven-bedroom home, priced at £825,000, comes with a unique timber-built electric sauna hut overlooking the glistening loch. The property is listed with Inigo.
Country Living with Shared Amenities
Not all wellness homes require a seven-figure budget. In the South Hams countryside of Devon, a converted monastery cottage within an eight-hectare estate offers a more accessible route to luxury. This two-bedroom cottage, listed at £320,000 with Marchand Petit, provides its residents with access to shared grounds, a heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, and a sauna, all just five miles from Dartmouth.
This collection of properties, featured in a fantasy house hunt, demonstrates the growing desire for health and wellness features to be integrated into the home. From complete private spas to shared estate amenities, these homes for sale across England and Scotland offer a permanent invitation to unwind.
