Inside the £3.9m LA-style home with an indoor pool in Greater Manchester's most expensive area

An unbelievable property which most would consider to be their dream home has come up for sale - and despite its LA-style appearance it is actually located in Greater Manchester.

The stunning six-bed residence sits in the affluent area of Bowdon, Trafford, which continues to be one of the region's most desirable and exclusive areas to live. With its leafy avenues, huge homes and celebrity residents, it is no surprise it costs an eye-watering amount to buy a home in the south Manchester suburb.

As Greater Manchester's most expensive place to live, the average house price here currently stands at a staggering £878,388, which has gone up by a huge 24 per cent in the last year alone.

This particular eye-catching abode was first listed for sale on Zoopla on March 15 for £3,950,000. The last time it was sold was in December 2020 when it was bought for £2,995,000.

The detached house has all the amenities you'd expect from a home of this calibre - from its seven luxury bathrooms and pristine kitchen to its huge garden and indoor swimming pool.
