Photos of the property also reveal a dazzling hallway chandelier, en-suite bathrooms and perfectly manicured lawns.
The former Manchester United gaffer likely left off steam in his charming game room – decorated with art work, oak bookcases and a snooker table.
The property also has a unique ‘Ferguson clan’ tartan carpet adorned on the staircase.
Estate agents say: “This impressive, deceptively spacious detached is…positioned within a very private, gated and secure plot.
“It boasts approximately 7,000 sq ft.”
Sir Alex will sell the property following the death of his wife Cathy
Sir Alex decided to sell the property following the death of his wife, the Mirror reported.
At the age of eighty-four, Lady Cathy Ferguson passed away in October. Her husband, their three sons, two sisters, twelve grandchildren, and one great-grandchild are all alive.
At the funeral for Sir Bobby Charlton earlier this month, he was one of the attendees. According to Sir Alex, his wife—who he first met in 1964—was a “bedrock” in his life.
There was some controversy during Fergie’s stay at the opulent gaff.
Following a significant objection to the application from the neighboring property to demolish a two-story house and construct a three-story mansion, Sir Alex lost a planning battle in 2020.
Planners received a five-page protest letter from Fergie’s attorneys.
He asserted that the removal of trees would compromise his privacy and change the area’s nature.
He said the removal of trees was “likely to have a significant impact on the character of the area and the existing privacy standards afforded”.
But planners decided to allow the scheme to ahead.
