New pad: Peter Crouch has bought Freddie Flintoff's house in Cheshire for £4.5million


When you earn £80,000 a week you can afford to live in the lap of luxury.

And Peter Crouch has picked up a piece of prime property, paying £4.5million for Andrew Flintoff’s Cheshire mansion.

The six-bedroom property will be perfect for Peter, wife Abbey and their six-month-old daughter Sophia as they make the move north.


The mansion boasts a gym, a cinema room and a swimming pool and is in Prestbury, an area popular with many footballers.

In fact Abbey will be close to fellow WAG Coleen Rooney and Rio Ferdinand also lives nearby.

The Crouch family are moving north after Peter transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to Stoke City.

Living up to his name: Peter was seen looking around the substantial property which boasts six bedrooms, a gym and a swimming pool

WAG central: Abbey, seen here at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards, will be living near fellow WAG Coleen Rooney


The house, which also includes a dressing room for fashion conscious Abbey, is so luxurious the model has banished any doubts she had about moving from London.

A friend told the The People: ‘Abbey worried over leaving London but she’s chuffed to be in Alderley Edge.

‘The likes of Coleen Rooney live here, so it’s WAG central.’

Simply stunning: The property was built by Freddie Flintoff for his family in 2009

Plenty to do: The property boasts a cinema room, an entertainment area, a gym and a large swimming pool


The property, which consists of 10,200 square feet of living space, is not only close to Manchester, which boasts a Harvey Nichols and a Selfridges for Abbey’s shopping needs, but it is also fairly close to Liverpool, where she grew up.

Cricketer Freddie Flintoff originally bought the plot for £1.85 million and knocked down the existing house to built the current one for his wife Rachel and their three children.

The property was put on the market for £5million but after two years without selling it Freddie cut the price and it was snapped up by Peter and Abbey.
