Sir Alex Ferguson’s sprawling Cheshire estate has been placed on the market for a sum of £3.5 million, marking a significant change following the passing of his wife, Cathy.
The iconic former manager of Manchester United, now 81, has called this five-bedroom residence home for over a decade. Sir Alex and Cathy made the move in 2010 from Macclesfield to reduce the commute to United’s Carrington training ground, according to the Mirror.
Described as “deceptively spacious,” the impressive property includes a games room complete with a bar, a gym, an expansive garden, a luxurious open-plan kitchen, and an entrance hall adorned with an elegant chandelier. A distinctive ‘Ferguson clan’ tartan carpet adorns one of the staircases and the games room.
Sir Alex’s lineage traces back to the Fergusons of Argyll, descending from Fergus Mor, the king of the ancient territory of Dal Riata, covering much of the west coast of Scotland and part of what is now northeast Northern Ireland.
The listing highlights the property as an “impressive, deceptively spacious detached” residence situated on one of Cheshire’s highly sought-after roads.
Positioned within a private, gated, and secure plot, it offers proximity to Wilmslow town center and the train station. The family home spans approximately 7,000 sq ft and represents a distinctive and desirable property in the region.
Lady Cathy Ferguson passed away aged 84 last month. A number of former Man United players attended the funeral in a heart-warming show of support for their former boss, including David Beckham, Gary Neville and Michael Carrick.
