The enormous £8m Greater Manchester mansion that looks like it’s straight out of Selling Sunset

It's got two pools and a cinema, too

Daisy Jackson - 2nd September 2022

A house has gone up for sale in Greater Manchester that looks like it’s been lifted straight out of the Hollywood hills and dropped here in the north west.

The huge contemporary mansion, priced at a cool £8m, has floor-to-ceiling glass windows that look out over its massive patio and outdoor pool.

With a second pool inside, as well as a gym, cinema, a bar and games room, and five bedrooms, it seems more like something you’d see being marketed on Netflix’s Selling Sunset than here in the UK.

The Hale property sits in around 10 acres of grounds beside the river, less than a mile from the centre of the affluent village, and was built by the current owner.

Named Riverside, the home was designed by Tsiantar Architects and features double-height spaces and luxury fixtures and facilities.

It’s not just the one house either – there’s also a two-bedroom guest cottage in the grounds.

The outside space is properly impressive, with an entertainment area, a pool, and sweeping lawns, plus views across the valley.

Jackson-Stops, who are marketing the mansion, say: “Upon first entering Riverside there is an immediate feeling of space as you walk into the breathtaking double height dining hall, which provides access to the remaining accommodation including a large drawing room, cinema room and study, but without doubt the heart of the home is the superb living dining kitchen with its bespoke range of units by Diane Berry Kitchens of Prestwich.

“The principal bedroom suite includes an amazing space with a large balcony overlooking the grounds towards the Bollin Valley. There is also a luxuriously appointed bathroom and dressing room. The remaining four bedrooms all boast en suite facilities and delightful views across the surrounding grounds.

“The lower ground floor area is given over to leisure and relaxation with a large entertainment room complex with a well equipped bar, sitting and relaxation zone, a gymnasium and separate leisure area with a large Jacuzzi and resistance turbine, along with a with changing area.”

The whole property is situated along a private road, with electric gates and a triple garage.
