Andrew Flintoff has placed his luxury Cheshire mansion on the market with an eye-watering asking price of £6.75million.
The former England cricket captain purchased the spectacular six-bedroom property from Manchester United legend Phil Neville in 2021.
Neville sold the house before relocating to the United States to take charge of David Beckham-owned MLS club Inter Miami.
Flintoff, affectionately known as Freddie, could now make a substantial return on the mansion, which offers approximately 10,000 square feet of living space spread across four floors.
The property contains six bathrooms, three main reception rooms and an expansive open-plan kitchen designed for entertaining guests.
Its standout attraction is a private leisure suite containing an indoor swimming pool, gym, cinema and games room.
A passenger lift provides access to every floor, while the mansion is protected by a monitored CCTV and security system.
The Rightmove listing describes it as a “stunning detached family home arranged over four floors”.

It adds: “Designed with both entertaining and family living in mind, Longwood combines clean contemporary architecture and luxurious modern finishes with a distinctive sense of character throughout.
“The principal living accommodation is exceptionally well proportioned, with three impressive reception rooms complemented by a magnificent open-plan kitchen and family room.
“The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of bespoke cabinetry and integrated appliances, creating a superb central hub for everyday family life and entertaining.”
Flintoff has lived at the property with his wife Rachael and their four children, Holly, Corey, Rocky and Preston.

His two sons have followed him into professional cricket.
Corey, 20, is an all-rounder with Kent, while 18-year-old Rocky represents Lancashire, the county where his father established himself as one of England’s most celebrated players.
Flintoff appeared in 79 Test matches during an illustrious international career and became a national hero through his starring role in England’s famous 2005 Ashes triumph.
Following his retirement, he successfully moved into television and presented programmes including Top Gear and Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams.
His life changed dramatically in December 2022 when he suffered serious facial and rib injuries in an accident while filming Top Gear.
Flintoff later revealed that he rarely left his home for several months as he underwent surgery and attempted to cope with the psychological impact.
“Afterwards, obviously, there’s the physical scars that I’ve got. But then the mental side of it,” he said.
“I didn’t leave the house for probably six or eight months. The only times I was leaving the house was for medical appointments and surgeries.”

GETTYHe subsequently described how the vehicle rolled and dragged him underneath it for 50 metres.
“Minus two degrees, busted face, but alive — because in that instant, my mind, honed on cricket’s demands, made the right call,” Flintoff said. “A split-second decision. One that saved my life, and changed it.”
Flintoff has since rebuilt his career within cricket and spent almost two years working as head coach of the England Lions.
He left that position in August to concentrate on a new role with Sydney Thunder ahead of the forthcoming Big Bash League season in Australia.
