Wizard of Wishaw's luxury pad on the market for a cool £825K

Here's your chance to snap up the luxury Lanarkshire mansion of world champion snooker ace, John Higgins - and the five-bedroom villa will set you back a cool £825K.

This luxury detached home, which is new to the market, is set within one of Bothwell's premier addresses and is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac occupying a generous plot within Sovereigns Gate.

It even boasts its own practice room, featuring a full-size snooker table and photographs of pivotal moments in the successful career of the Wizard of Wishaw, as well as a jam-packed trophy cabinet.

Higgins turned professional in 1992 and has 31 ranking titles to his name, including four world crowns, three UK Championships and two Masters.

He has been ranked world number one four times and has racked up more than £9m in prize money over his professional career.

Built by Bryant in 2002, the family's spacious and beautifully presented high-end villa offers great sized rooms.

The spacious kitchen would delight any enthusiastic cook, incorporating a range of integrated appliances including a double oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer with space for additional appliances within the separate utility room.
