A multi million pound mansion has recently gone up for sale in Greater Manchester and it’s even got its own football pitch.
There’s a six bedroom property that has just gone on the market and it’s situated on the region’s most expensive street – Barrow Lane in Hale.
Coming in at a whopping £5,950,000 and spread across four floors, the property nicely titled ‘Green Meadows’ is nestled in the affluent Trafford neighbourhood.
Starting from the (under)ground up, the basement level has everything you could ever wish for. From a private cinema room to your own personal club and bar function room… that’s my Saturday night sorted.

That’s not all, there’s six more rooms beneath the ground floor such as a store, plant room, recreational area and even a gym with its own sauna and treatment room attached.

As you make your way up the winding staircase to the entrance level, there’s a large reception hall, open plan kitchen, covered terrace and something I never knew I needed until today, a breakfast area.
Up another flight of stairs and onto the first floor where you’re greeted by a galleried landing that leads you off to three separate bedrooms with accompanying en suites.

Each of the six bedrooms in this house has its own en suite meaning you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own living quarters to spruce yourself up before the start of each day.

The second and top floor is much similar with the final three bedrooms and a second galleried landing. I’ll have to get looking through my best selfies and see which ones I can frame on all these walls!
However, the top floor is boasting something much more impressive that, a room which many have dreamt of for years and years; a walk in wardrobe.

Branded as a ‘Dressing Room’ on the official floor plan for the property, this walk in wardrobe has near enough, floor to ceiling storage and an island unit in the middle for, you guessed it, even more storage.
This mansion’s quarters spans just under one acre of land, 0.73 acres to be exact, and the outside of the house features a grand garden space that’s just as interesting.
As you exit the back of the property, after walking out onto the tiled beginning of the garden, your eyes can’t help but fixate on the almost full scale football pitch dominating the green space.
Alongside the main building, there’s a double garage and behind that you’ll find a mini basketball court, that’ll have you dusting off your Jordans and shooting some hoops in no time.
Now we know not everyone is fortunate enough to afford such grand houses like these, but when it’s online and right in our faces, it’d be rude not to have a nosey, right?

Dozens of swanky new homes are now available to rent in an up-and-coming Greater Manchester town.
A collection of exciting first look images have been released of the new homes.
The reboot of the former derelict market precinct in the suburban Bolton town of Farnworth is being spearheaded by Capital&Centric, and the social impact developers behind the project are now giving prospective renters a sneak peak into the developed.
Dubbed Farnworth Green, the new community consists of 97 rental homes, made up of a super energy-efficient range of townhouses and apartments.
The development will be comprised of a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom properties, with 85 stunning apartments and 12 family homes – all of which have been designed with the same high-quality features that are usually reserved for Capital&Centric‘s city centre spaces.
Designed for renters, the dozens of new homes come with even more living space, as well private gardens to be enjoyed when the sun makes an appearance, and potting sheds for all the green-fingered people out there.
Residents will also have access to the exclusive rooftop garden, gym, lounge, co-working spaces, and dog washing stations for their four-legged friends.
The two-bed apartments are packed with Scandi-designed HAY furniture and massive floor-to-ceiling windows to flood the rooms with light, while the the top-spec kitchens are kitted-out with all the mod-comms and latest appliances you would expect.
The new townhouses, on the other hand, will be the first to be delivered under the developer’s ‘Neighbourhood’ brand.

This includes Bolton’s first-ever operationally net zero homes, aiming to ‘slash’ energy bills for residents.
A raft of independent bars, eateries, and shops will also be taking shape on the ground floor of the community hub, giving locals and residents a place to meet up and enjoy seasonal outdoor events that will be planned once the neighbourhood is up and running.
Residents will also be able to spend time in a brand-new public square at the heart of the community, which will play host to artisan markets, art shows, and foodie pop-ups.

“We’re buzzing to see the new homes come to life at Farnworth Green,” commented Tom Wilmot, who is the joint Managing Director of Capital&Centric.
“Farnworth Green is all about creating new and exciting spaces for businesses and the community to spend time in, as well as delivering a pioneering new town centre living experience and giving disused retail areas a new lease of life.”
Capital&Centric is encouraging people to sign-up fast to secure a viewing for the remaining apartment here, or walk-ins will be welcomed too.

Manchester to get ANOTHER new city centre park as plans get green light
Emily Sergeant
You wait 100 years for a new city centre park, and then two come along one after the other.
That’s right, merely a few years after Mayfield Park finally opened to the Manchester public after more than a century without one, it’s now been revealed that another park is planned for the city centre, as the Government has given the green light to a major new ‘digital campus’ bringing 7,000 civil service jobs to the region.
The new state-of-the-art hub, which will be known as Manchester Digital Campus, will be constructed on the site of the former Central Retail Park in Ancoats, alongside the new park.
As mentioned, the campus will bring together a number of Civil Service departments, all with a focus around digital skills, and the Government claims it will create ‘significant employment opportunities’ and ‘economic benefits’ in the region.
Ultimately, Government ministers say these ambitious plans are set to boost Manchester’s digital and tech sector.
Our proposed plans for the Manchester Digital Campus have received the green light!

Alongside the new campus, however, is the perhaps even-more-exciting addition of a new urban park, which is aiming to improve access to quality green space for city centre residents and visitors, while also creating a connection to the existing Cotton Field Park behind and through to Ancoats and New Islington.
The park space has been designed in collaboration with landscape architects Planit-IE following public consultation.
According to Manchester City Council, a central lawn and plaza will create a ‘green buffer’ to Great Ancoats Street, with various tiered gardens navigating the different level changes across the site, alongside play areas, paths, and tranquil areas to escape the noise of the city.
The park has also been designed to make sure that it’s fully accessible for all.
A new digital campus by @UKGovPropAgency bringing 7,000 quality jobs to Manchester has been approved.
The campus will transform a derelict former retail site alongside a new city centre park in Ancoats.
The site will accommodate new walking and cycling routes, helping to link to other city centre active travel investment in Ancoats, Northern Quarter, and out towards the Etihad Campus.
“The new park is a welcome addition to our city centre green spaces,” commented Cllr Bev Craig, who is the leader of Manchester City Council.
“It’s a reimagining of the former retail site that has for many years acted only as a barrier to the community behind – and an eyesore in one of the most exciting parts of our city.”
