Certain areas of Greater Manchester are like magnets to the rich and famous thanks to their impressive multi million-pound homes. One prestigious village in Stockport is kitted out with some of the region's largest and most expensive homes, therefore it doesn't come as a surprise that it has attracted some renowned residents.
With an average house price of £594,341, the suburban village of Woodford has been home to legendary Manchester United footballers George Best and Cristiano Ronaldo. Amongst its stand-out 17th century cottages and Grade II* listed buildings is Ronaldo's former mansion, where he lived during his earlier days playing for United.
The luxury five-bedroom house was owned by Manchester United and was put up for sale in 2006 after Ronaldo moved out. Its next owner then put the lavish three-storey pad back on the market in 2009, around the time when Ronaldo left MUFC to join Real Madrid, which was expected to have sold for around £1,250,000.
