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

The bargain Wigan house for sale with a suspicious-looking history
Daisy Jackson
A terrace house in Wigan that’s gone up for sale has raised some eyebrows this week, after a Twitter user shared photos of its chaotic interiors.
But it wasn’t dodgy wallpaper or terrible carpet that had set tongues wagging this time.
It was what the building appears to have been used for in its past life.
Images – which have now been removed from the listing – showed the remains of some green plants strewn around the two-bed property.
Other suspicious features include massive silver air ventilation systems, plastic sheeting all over the walls, loads of fans, and a garden hose attached to the bathroom sink.
It does appear that the home was used to grow some plants… and we’ll let you put the rest of the pieces together.
The original tweet said: “House search is going well.. absolute bargain, just in need of refurbishment” with a face palm emoji.
Questioning who the previous owner might’ve been, one person said: “Mr S Dogg it says on the deeds.”
Someone else added: “All you need is some compost, seeds , some replacement bulbs and you’re back in business.”

One person asked: “Did the agent just go straight in after the police left?”
Another joked: “Dunno what everyone is fretting about, the previous owner was just a very keen horticulturalist.”
The house is up for sale through an online auction with GOTO, who admit it needs ‘full modernisation’.
The listing for the Wigan house states: “Situated off Manchester Road and just off Belle Green Lane within close proximity of all local amenities lies this Two Bedroom Palisade Fronted Terrace Property.
“This property is in need of full modernisation throughout and viewing are advised.”
It’s actually not the weirdest property listing we’ve stumbled across in recent weeks.
A home in Huddersfield was listed last month which had the previous owner’s actual remains buried in a tomb in the back garden.
