Andrew Flintoff Lists £6.75million Cheshire Mansion

England cricket legend Andrew Flintoff put his Cheshire mansion on the market for £6.75million. The property features its own cinema, swimming pool, and games room, and this listing comes four years after Flintoff's serious car crash while filming for Top Gear.

The 48-year-old, popularly known as Freddie, played 78 Test matches for England and transitioned to a successful career as a television presenter, hosting shows such as Top Gear and Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams. The mansion, spanning 10,000 square feet, was purchased in 2021 from former Manchester United player Phil Neville, who relocated to the United States to coach Inter Miami, a club owned by David Beckham.

Described on Rightmove as a "stunning detached family home arranged over four floors," the listing highlights the house's six bedrooms, six bathrooms, three main reception areas, and a stylish kitchen. A leisure suite also includes a swimming pool, gym, games room, and cinema, along with a comprehensive monitored CCTV and security system.

The property is designed for both entertainment and family living, blending clean contemporary architecture with luxurious finishes and a distinctive sense of character throughout. The principal living space is said to be exceptionally well proportioned, featuring three reception rooms complemented by an impressive open-plan kitchen and family area.

The kitchen is equipped with bespoke cabinetry and integrated appliances, establishing it as a superb hub for family life and entertaining. The listing also mentions a passenger lift serving all floors, enhancing practicality and accessibility. Flintoff and his wife, Rachael, have four children: Holly, Corey, Rocky, and Preston. Both Corey and Rocky have followed in their father's cricketing footsteps, with 20-year-old Corey playing as an all-rounder for Kent and 18-year-old Rocky for his father's former team, Lancashire.

Flintoff's life changed dramatically in 2022 when he sustained serious facial and rib injuries in a car crash while filming Top Gear. He discussed the psychological impact of the incident in a Sunday Times interview, saying he struggled to leave the house for six to eight months, only venturing out for medical appointments.

Reflecting on the crash, Flintoff revealed his instinctive decision-making during the incident, which involved shielding himself to save his life. Despite the physical consequences, he emphasized the impact it had on his mental health and how it altered his life trajectory.
