The most expensive house on the market in Greater Manchester looks like it’s come straight out of LA – and it’s just dropped in price.
The stunning contemporary mansion looks like something you’d see being paraded around on Netflix’s hit series Selling Sunset, but it’s actually based right here in the drizzly north west.
The massive house – which has TWO pools – had previously been listed for a cool £8m.
But the agents have just reduced the price of listing, and it’s now being marketed at £7.5m.
For that price, you get a remarkable, modern house with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that look out over its massive patio and outdoor pool.

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.

Emily Sergeant
A stunning detached family home on one of Britain’s most expensive roads is currently on the market over in Cheshire.
In case you hadn’t heard, a recent report by The Times has revealed where you’ll find Britain’s top 20 most expensive roads for 2026, based off Rightmove data, and Congleton Road in Alderley Edge – slap bang in the middle of Cheshire’s iconic ‘Golden Triangle’ – has appeared in the top five most expensive outside of London.
So we snooped around to see what your money (… or your hypothetical money, at least) can get you on this street, and came across a regal residence currently for sale for a whopping £4.95 million.
This is Highclere – a six-bedroom detached family home occupying a private plot of over 1.3 acres and enjoying panoramic views across the adjoining Cheshire countryside.

Approached behind electric gates, and set back along a sweeping driveway, estate agents say Highclere has been ‘carefully and tastefully’ renovated by the current owners.
It now offers ‘spacious and versatile’ accommodation, and benefits from being within easy reach of Alderley Edge village centre and all the amenities it’s known and loved for.
Some of the stand-out features include an impressive reception hall with large sweeping staircase, open living kitchen with a large central island, large bedrooms, and a full leisure suite with a pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and showers.
There’s also a dedicated bar area, a games room, cinema room, and a gym.
Upstairs is where you’ll find what is described as the ‘unparallelled’ principal bedroom suite with two large dressing rooms, its own living area, en-suite bathroom, and a powder room, as well as four other large bedrooms.
Just as you’d expect, the outside of Highclere is as impressive as the inside.

Not only are there expansive terraced lawns with mature trees and shrubs and two large courtyards perfect for outdoor entertaining, but there is also a large driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles and a detached double garage converted into annexe accomodation.
This property is currently on the market with Alderley Edge-based independent estate agents, Andrew J Nowell, for a Guide Price of £4.95 million, and if you fancy taking a closer look, then you can contact the agents to arrange a viewing.
Or you could just take the cheaper route instead and have a nosy at the Rightmove link here.
