Andrew Flintoff, the former England cricket captain, has placed his Cheshire mansion on the market for £6.75 million. The property, which Flintoff purchased in 2021 from ex-Manchester United player Phil Neville, is a six-bedroom, six-bathroom residence spanning 10,000 square feet over four floors. Neville acquired the home after moving to the U.S. to coach Inter Miami, the Major League Soccer team co-owned by David Beckham.
The listing describes the detached family home as featuring three main reception areas, a contemporary kitchen, and a leisure suite. The leisure facilities include a swimming pool, a gym, a games room, and a cinema. A comprehensive CCTV and security system is also noted.
The mansion's interior is designed for both family living and entertaining, with a large open-plan kitchen and family room serving as a central hub. A passenger lift provides access to all floors, enhancing the property's practicality.
Flintoff, 48, who represented England in 78 Test matches, transitioned to television presenting after his cricket career, hosting shows such as Top Gear and Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams.
He and his wife, Rachael, have four children: Holly, Corey, Rocky, and Preston. Both Corey, 20, and Rocky, 18, have followed their father into professional cricket, playing for Kent and Lancashire respectively.
In 2022, Flintoff sustained significant facial and rib injuries in an accident while filming Top Gear. He later described the aftermath as involving both physical and mental challenges, stating he was largely housebound for six to eight months due to medical appointments and surgeries. Reflecting on the incident, Flintoff detailed a split-second decision during the crash that he believed saved his life, involving an instinctive reaction to protect himself as the car rolled.
