Sir Alex Ferguson has put his ยฃ3.5 million property up for sale following the death of his wife Cathy.

The legendโ€™s five-bedroom, 7,000-square-foot home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, features a modern open-plan kitchen and games room.

The eye-catching residence includes a chandelier hanging in the hallway.

Photos of the house show a stunning entryway chandelier, en-suite bathrooms, and immaculately groomed lawns.

The former Manchester United manager most certainly let off steam in his lovely gaming room, which was furnished with artwork, wood bookcases, and a snooker table.

The staircase is also embellished with a distinctive โ€˜Ferguson clanโ€™ tartan carpet.

Estate agents describe this detached home as โ€œimpressive, deceptively spaciousโ€ and located in a private, gated, and secure site.

โ€œIt boasts approximately 7,000 sq ft.โ€

According to the Mirror, Sir Alex chose to sell the property after his wife died.

Lady Cathy Ferguson died in October at the age of 84. She is survived by her husband, three sons, two sisters, 12 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

Sir Alex will sell the property after the death of his wife, Cathy.

He was among those who attended Sir Bobby Charltonโ€™s funeral earlier this month. Sir Alex described his wife, whom he first met in 1964, as a โ€œbedrockโ€ in his life.

There was some controversy around Fergieโ€™s stay at the posh gaff.

In 2020, Sir Alex lost a planning fight after the neighbouring property objected to the application to destroy a two-story house and build a three-story mansion.

Fergieโ€™s attorneys issued a five-page protest letter to the organisers.

He claimed that removing trees would violate his privacy and alter the natural beauty of the area.

He stated that removing trees was โ€œlikely to have a significant impact on the character of the area and the existing privacy standards affordedโ€.

However, planners agreed to allow the idea to proceed.
