An elegant country manor house that sits in one of Cheshire's most affluent areas has been put up for sale with a price tag of £1,850,000 - and it once had David and Victoria Beckham as its neighbours. The property is set in Nether Alderley which was voted as one of Britain's poshest villages, where the average house price is a staggering £1,025,400.

The area is part of the Cheshire's Golden Triangle, which attracts celebrities and is known to have been home to footballers Rio Ferdinand and Andy Cole. Beckham and his Spice Girls wife lived in a converted barn on the same grounds as the manor house during David's days playing for Manchester United. The couple lived there with son Brooklyn for four years from 2001 until David moved to Real Madrid.

Next door to the Beckham's former home is the Grade II Listed Heawood Hall, once owned by the well-known brewery family the Boddingtons. Built around 1720, the house was later divided into three separate properties, one being the Beckham's former barn, and it is part of the original manor that is now up for grabs.
