SIR Alex Ferguson has put his £3.5m home up for sale following the death of his wife Cathy.
The legend's five-bedroom, 7,000 square foot property in Wilmslow, Cheshire comes complete with a stylish open plan kitchen and games room.
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.
