Freddie Flintoff has listed his jaw-dropping Cheshire mansion for sale, a property which Phil Neville also once called home. The former Manchester United and Everton defender moved out of the luxurious house in 2021, when he made the decision to manage David Beckham's Inter Miami.
Flintoff purchased the property the same year, and has been there ever since. However, it now appears as though the England cricket legend is looking for a change of scenery, putting the stunning abode on the market for just shy of £6.8million.
Covering 10,000 square-feet, the estate features six bedrooms and as many bathrooms spanning four floors. As well as harbouring all of the latest bells and whistles in terms of technology, the house also features an indoor pool, gym and sauna - perfect for athletes.
Elsewhere, pictures of the property show a mammoth games room. Adorned with sports memorabilia and large flat-screen TVs, the man cave features ping pong, pool and air hockey tables, as well as comfy seating.
A home theatre, kitted out with a huge screen and plush chairs, also features in the property, with ambient ceiling spotlights creating an authentic cinema vibe. The kitchen is also decked out with sleek marble-style worktops, hard tiled floors, and is abundant with crisp, natural lighting.
An automatic lift is also embedded in the heart of the home, allowing for easy mobility across all four floors. The exterior, meanwhile, is equally as lavish.
Seated within in a private gate, the driveway provides plenty of storage for vehicles, not to mention an underground parking facility. Impeccable greenery also surrounds the property for nature lovers alike.

While it is unknown as to Flintoff's reasoning for selling the property, he last month decided for a change of career - as he took up tenure as head coach of Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League.
Flintoff had been working in a coaching capacity with England Lions since 2024 when he made the decision to step down to chase glory in Australia.
He said at the time: "Unfortunately I’ve made the decision to step away from my role with the Lions. Not only have I enjoyed my time having the opportunity to work with the best young cricketers in the country, but have taken great pride in seeing them develop.
"I’d like to thank the coaches and staff for all their passion, tireless work and support they give everyday. In particular Ed Barney who I’ve loved working with and was so lucky to have as a performance director, and obviously Rob for trusting me with one of the most Important roles in English cricket.

"I can’t wait to get started with the Thunder later in the year and see where coaching takes me. Good luck to whoever takes over you have some big pants to fill."
Speaking about his new role with club media, meanwhile, Flintoff told the Sydney Thunder website: "I can’t wait to get over there and get started. I’m looking at this with a lot of optimism.
"You look at the franchise, you look at the players, you look at the support, and I think there’s something really big to build on. You look at the squad and it’s a real nice mix.

"You’ve got David Warner, Chris Green, Daniel Sams – some of these older guys are established cricketers, and you just want to provide an environment where they can go out there and flourish. We’ve seen how good they are.
"I saw Sam Konstas play against England under 19’s, against one of my lads – incredible talent. Matthew Gilkes and Tanveer Sangha are the same.
"I want our players to connect with the people that come and see us. I want them to enjoy playing cricket. However, all that is underpinned by hard work...I want them to play with passion and leave everything out there on the field.

“You look around the world now and everyone gets the opportunity to play for all different teams but one of my aims over the time with Sydney Thunder is that every player looks back thinking, 'that’s the best part of the year, that’s a team that I want to play for.'
"I’m excited to come over, get involved and coach this team. I’m here to do the best job I possibly can for the team and everybody that comes out and supports us."
