A CHESHIRE mansion which was once the home of former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo is up for sale.
The 39-year-old Portuguese lived in the Over Alderley property during his second stint with Red Devils before leaving in November 2022.
Initially listed on Rightmove for £5.5 million in early 2023, the asking price for the house has since been reduced to £4.9 million. The mansion is being marketed by estate agents Jackson-Stops.
The Rightmove listing says: "A masterpiece in modern design set in 23 acres - an ultra stylish main residence with superb leisure suite, two bedroom guest barn and padel court."
On stepping through the galleried entrance into the inner hall, guests will be greeted with an open plan kitchen and family room.
Also on the ground floor is a cinema room, study, wine store, drawing room and a utility room.
Beyond the kitchen/family room is the indoor 12-metre swimming pool, which is accompanied by a sauna, home gym and six-person jacuzzi.
Heading upstairs to the first floor, visitors will find four bedrooms, including the master suite, which itself has an attached dressing room and a balcony.
All of the bedrooms come with en suite bath or shower rooms.
And finally in the main house, the second floor contains a loft apartment, which comprises bedroom five, also with an en suite bathroom and dressing room.
Also in the loft apartment is a lounge and TV area and a study area.
The property also comes with a detached two-bedroom annexe with a kitchen/sitting room and two shower rooms.
Outside there is a four-car garage, garden stores and boiler room, while a padel tennis court has recently been added to the grounds, which contain landscaped gardens, terracing and paddock land.
