Ricky Hatton puts incredible five bed mansion with spa and cinema up for sale for £1.85m as he comes out of retirement
BOXING legend Ricky Hatton’s impressive home is up for sale and – apart from the purple-walled cinema room – people can’t believe how tasteful it is.
Hatton‘s prestigious residence offers an ‘exceptional standard of modern living, combining luxury, comfort and security’ within the extensive private grounds.
The detached five-bedroom six-bathroom abode was built in 2010 and has been ‘impeccably designed’.
Hatton has decorated the property with a mixture of muted and natural tones, wood, classic colours and pops of colour running throughout.
It has an extensive landscaped grounds with greenbelt views, plus a leisure suite with a heated indoor pool and Jacuzzi.
The private gym and cinema room complements the games room/bar with a glass wall overlooking the impressive pool.
A principal suite has its own dressing room/walk-in closet and deluxe en-suite, crushed velvet chaise longue and dark patterned wallpaper.
The decor is a mixture of dark greys and browns.
There is a crushed velvet bed with a glass-walled separation into the washroom, which includes a free-standing bath.
The property has multiple reception rooms and open-plan living spaces with a high-specification dark-panelled kitchen.
Situated in one of the areas most prestigious locations of Gee Cross, Greater Manchester, the estate has advanced security with CCTV and intercom access.
The former Dancing On Ice contestant’s fans commented: “No where as bad as I though’t it’d be, apart from that master bedroom.”
“I don’t 100% hate it. It’s quite tasteful,” mused a user.
A third added: “My takeaway from this is that boxers have better taste than footballers. I like it, it’s modern without being stark and industrial and still looks like a home as opposed to staged for a photoshoot in Hello! magazine.”
“I definitely wasn’t ready for the purple cinema room, given everything else is quite muted.”
“Externally it’s a bit 90s Tesco, but internally, it’s pretty nice. I’d definitely redecorate, but I like the exposed timber,” applauded one pleasantly-surprised fan.
“That’s lovely. Imagine the BBQs on a summer‘s eve,” dreamt another.
“The mezzanine above the swimming pool reminds me of Robbie Savage’s episode of MTV Cribs,” recalled a fan.
The boxing promoter previously took part in a BBC Comic Relief special called ‘This is MY House‘ which aired in March of last year.
The athlete lives a life of luxury in his stunning mansion which includes a gold dining room and diamante door handles.
The 46-year-old legend – who was in Cardiff on Friday night to see his Oasis pals Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite – had his last professional bout in 2012.
The City super-fan was walked to the ring by Noel and Liam for his 2008 win over Paulie Malignaggi.
The national treasure and advocate on men’s mental health was due to fly out to Dubai this week to star in Sunday night’s big-money launch press conference.
But he suffered an eye injury on his designer sunglasses at the Oasis reunion gig and was not cleared to travel until the injury heals.
