Ex-Rangers star Peter Lovenkrands puts plush £1.3m Thorntonhall mansion up for sale

Former Rangers star Peter Lovenkrands is looking to score in the property market after putting his £1.3m mansion up for sale.

The ex-striker, 43, has put the luxury home in Thorntonhall, Lanarkshire, on the market in the hope of finding a wealthy buyer.

The property, described as an Aladdin's cave, is protected by security gates and features a cinema, gym and spa while a grand piano takes centre stage in the drawing room. It also comes with landscaped gardens, a triple garage, five bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Photos from inside the property reveal a number of football strips including from Rangers and Manchester Utd while a statue of a basketball player can be seen in the bar area.

Lovenkrands previously put the three-storey pad up for sale at offers over £1.2million in 2013 while playing for Birmingham City.

However, he later removed it when he moved back to Scotland after retiring from the game. But the Danish footballer is now looking to bag a home win by selling the property with a starting price of £1.3m.

Cameron Ewer, property agent at Savills, said: "It is like Aladdin's cave. Deceptively large and full of hidden qualities. It really is a house that has to be seen to be understood."

A sales brochure added: "This is a seriously impressive property with exceptionally high quality finishes throughout. This property benefits from a new boiler and energy-efficient heating system, double glazing, electric security gates, monitored alarm and a CCTV system.

"The innovative and striking exterior is mirrored inside by bold lines and an incredible sense of space along with multiple windows bringing superb levels of natural light into the house." In 2016, Lovenkrands won a fight to stop a house being built next door after arguing it would ruin his privacy and spoil his views.

Lovenkrands played for Rangers for six years before leaving in 2006 having scored 37 goals in 129 appearances for the Ibrox side. He has also had spells at Schalke and Newcastle before retiring in 2014.

The former internationalist managed Danish side Fremad Amager before leaving last year.
