Star couple Coleen and Wayne Rooney have reportedly gotten rid of their Cheshire mansion for a £3.7 million price tag.
The couple owned the five-bedroom property for 15 years after purchasing the plot for £1.5 million in 2005. Reports state that the Rooney family put the home up for sale earlier this year and managed to close the deal five months after moving into a bigger property in the Cheshire countryside.
The old mansion was well-known for possessing its own gym, swimming pool, cinema, and spa bath. It also featured a lush five-a-side football pitch where the former Manchester United player and his children practised, the Mirror reports.

A source told The Sun : “They were sad to sell it but their new house is so amazing they had no reason to keep it.” It comes after the couple and their four children - Kai, Klay, Kit, and Class - moved into a new mansion following four years of delays.
The 40-acre plot in Knutsford was bought by the family in 2017 for £4 million and has seen a further £16 million investment to get it turned into the family's dream house. Initially, they were due to move into the six-bedroom property earlier last year but saw an additional delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The stunning mansion features a television room, bar, wine store, snooker room, cinema, gym, hot tub, swimming pool, plunge pool and steam room. It also features two lifts - one for family use and one for visiting guests.
The property also includes horse stables, a large garage that can fit six cars, a fancy orangery, and two man-made lakes. A whiskey and cigar room as well as a study and library tops off the lavish homes.
Despite moving his whole family into a new mansion, Wayne has kept himself busy with his move to the US after it was revealed he would become the new manager of the MLS side DC United in July. However, Coleen won't be moving but fully supports her husband's decision.
"Wayne and Coleen obviously discussed it and she is 100 percent behind the move because she realises what a great opportunity it is for Wayne," a source previously claimed.
"There was no chance she was ever going to tell him not to go and she hopes to get out to America with the boys as much as she can to cheer on the team and to support Wayne."
