A Chigwell mansion where footballer Andy Carroll used to live is on the market for £4.5 million.

The nine-bedroom home has been on the market for over two years; the asking price has dropped £500,000 since it was first listed in January 2019.

The home, which the Sun previously reported was owned by Newcastle striker Andy Carroll, is one of the most expensive homes for sale in Essex.

Some of its most notable features include a mini-Angel of the North sculpture in the garden, a nod to the ex-West Ham forward’s Geordie roots.

And as many eagle-eyed viewers have noted, a large mirror placed above the master bedroom’s king-sized bed.

The house also boasts a full-size football pitch, swimming pool and full-sized tennis court.

It is also glamorously located on Chigwell’s “millionaire’s row”.

The property, which is in total over 8,000 square feet, includes a large garage with space for multiple cars, five bathrooms and five reception rooms.

The extensive grounds offer a host of patios, manicured lawns, mature shrubs, trees and borders and a purpose built barbeque area.
