A FORMER Wrexham AFC star is putting his home on the market. 

Mill Cottage, situated in Marchwiel is set to go on the market early next week with Currans for over £900,000. 

Described as a "hidden gem where nature, luxury, and modern living meet in perfect harmony", the four bedroom home is located on the land of wedding venue Marchwiel Hall. 

The home boasts an "extraordinary" kitchen, a gym, games room, private balcony and a spacious garden.

The house in Marchwiel belongs to non other than former Wrexham and Oxford United centre-back Mark Creighton, aka 'The Beast'.

A spokesperson for Currans said: "Tucked away in a serene, private oasis, this home offers an extraordinary escape from the everyday. Imagine working from home surrounded by nothing but the soothing sounds of a waterfall and birdsong—no traffic, no distractions—just peace.

"Nestled on the rural outskirts of Wrexham, close to Chester, Mill Cottage presents an exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully restored Grade II listed home. Dating back to 1840, this historic property, once the mill of Marchwiel Hall, has been sympathetically enhanced and extended to create a luxurious, modern retreat while preserving its original charm.

"As you approach through two sets of electric gates, the long private driveway winds through serene cornfields, opening to the cottage’s spacious gravel courtyard, offering ample parking. The home itself is an architectural masterpiece, with a blend of stone, painted brick, and decorative beams under a slate-tiled roof.

"Descend the elegant oak and glass staircase into the breathtaking kitchen and breakfast room, showcasing shaker-style oak cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and gold accents, all thoughtfully designed for luxurious living. The natural limestone flooring continues, with a staircase leading to the spacious family or games room below, with a handy utility room hidden away with access to the garden.

"The sitting room is a spacious, light-filled area with dual-aspect views of the surrounding woodlands and lawn. The sleek fireplace and rich oak flooring, with a roaring log burner creating the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the beauty of the changing seasons from the warmth of home.

"This home has been future-proofed with all the modern amenities you could wish for including Sonos speakers in the ceilings and outdoors, CCTV, Hive heating controls, and a convenient electric car charging point ensure modern comfort. Despite being surrounded by nature, the home is equipped with high-speed internet, with cables running to nearly every room, ensuring you’re always connected.

Outside, find a stylish outbuilding in keeping with the aesthetic of the home with a fully equipped gym and store room. Also connected to the WIFI, creating possibilities for a separate home office or even an annex (subject to planning). In addition to this, find another store building in the garden for all your gardening equipment.

"Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a luxurious en suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe, with access to a private balcony offering views of the peaceful surroundings. Each of the other bedrooms benefits from inspiring rural views, with the second bedroom featuring skylights that allow natural light to flood the space. There’s also a spacious family bathroom and a well-appointed study area on the first floor.

"Mill Cottage isn’t just a home—it’s a sanctuary, a rare find that combines tranquility, style, and cutting-edge living, all within easy reach of Chester and Wrexham. Whether it’s summer, winter, or any season in between, this property offers a lifestyle that’s truly special."
