With just one week to go until Wimbledon, we've cast our net over East Anglia's leading lettings agency portfolios to highlight holiday homes with tennis courts.

You don't have to be Serena Williams or Andy Murray to want to hone your tennis skills over the long, lazy days of summer but it can add a whole new dimension of fun (and encourage some family competition) to your holiday home.

Get the Pimms on ice, stock up on strawberries and cream and peruse some of the best properties with tennis courts to 'LET' this season.

Brand new this week to the holiday lettings market, this huge, 15th century hall has been lovingly restored to offer superlative – and spacious – holiday accommodation.
