Oliver Cookson, the entrepreneurial mastermind behind the sports nutrition giant MyProtein, has placed his spectacular Cheshire estate on the market for a staggering £6.95 million, marking a new chapter in his remarkable rags-to-riches journey.
The stunning property is nestled within Cheshire's exclusive 'Golden Triangle,' an area renowned for its multi-million-pound homes and celebrity residents, including football icon David Beckham and his wife Victoria, who own a sprawling estate nearby.
A Palace of Modern Luxury
This isn't just any mansion; it's a contemporary masterpiece set within seven acres of meticulously landscaped gardens and private woodland. The property boasts an impressive array of amenities designed for luxury living and entertainment.
- A state-of-the-art home cinema for private screenings.
- An expansive indoor swimming pool complex with a spa, perfect for relaxation.
- A dedicated games room and a fully-equipped gym, nodding to Cookson's fitness roots.
- Six lavish en-suite bedrooms, including a palatial master suite.
The open-plan living spaces are flooded with natural light, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass doors that seamlessly blend the interior with the breathtaking outdoor scenery.
A Property with a Pedigree
Adding to its allure, the mansion carries a celebrity pedigree of its own. It was previously owned by Take That star Gary Barlow before Cookson acquired and transformed it into his family home, further cementing the area's status as a haven for Britain's elite.
Cookson's decision to sell follows his incredible business success. He founded MyProtein from a small office in 2004, building it into a dominant global brand that was eventually sold to the Hut Group for a life-changing sum, funding his foray into ultra-high-end real estate.
The Allure of the Golden Triangle
The 'Golden Triangle'—the area between Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, and Prestbury—remains one of the most sought-after and expensive postcodes outside of London. Its appeal to footballers, entrepreneurs, and celebrities is driven by its exclusivity, privacy, and proximity to major cities like Manchester.
With this sale, Cookson isn't just selling a house; he's offering a ticket into one of Britain's most prestigious neighbourhoods, a stone's throw from the Beckhams' own country retreat. The listing promises to attract significant attention from high-net-worth individuals seeking a slice of Cheshire's luxury property market.
