The Greater Manchester mansion that's one of Rightmove's most-viewed homes - but still can't find a buyer

A multi-million pound house in Greater Manchester has been ranked as the fourth most-viewed home on Rightmove this year, but despite its online popularity, it still hasn't found a buyer. The stunning £4,250,000 detached residence in Hale Barns, Trafford has had thousands of eyes on it in the last 12 months, yet it still remains on the market today.

The five-bed property on Chapel Lane was first listed for sale in December 2021 for £4,500,000, but it has since been reduced by £250,000 in a bid to get more interest. The modern mansion sits in one of Greater Manchester's most prestigious and private neighbourhoods, known for its popularity with Premier League footballers.

The luxury home near Altrincham is the only house in the north that has made it onto the list of Rightmove's top five most-viewed UK homes of the year, with lavish properties in London, Cornwall and the Cotswolds completing the top spots.

The ground floor features a spacious entrance hall which leads onto a large, open-plan kitchen living space as well as a separate dining hall, drawing room and a home office.

On the lower ground floor is a luxurious leisure suite which includes a cinema room and fully equipped gym, as well as a bedroom with an en-suite, a play room and a utility room.

Up on the top floor are the remaining four double bedrooms, each with their own en-suites, and the master bedroom boasting a lavish dressing room.

Outside, the property features a stunning, south-facing landscaped garden that spans more than half an acre and also has a children's play area.

The property sits in a prime yet discreet location surrounded by greenery.

A spokesperson for Cheshire estate agency Gascoigne Halman, who have listed the property, says: "We are absolutely thrilled that a Gascoigne Halman property is the 4 th most viewed home in Great Britain this year.

"12 Chapel Lane is simply one of the finest premium residences we have on our books and it’s easy to see why it is so popular online."

"It is an immaculately presented detached, modern mansion with huge visual appeal and an exquisitely luxurious interior," they added.

"This particular home is located in a neighbourhood already well populated with premiership footballers and we expect it will attract a buyer of similar calibre.”
