Television personality Paddy McGuinness has been spotted looking visibly downcast as his opulent £6.5 million Cheshire mansion continues to struggle on the property market. The Top Gear host and his wife, Christine McGuinness, initially put the sprawling estate up for sale earlier this year, but despite its luxurious features, buyers have yet to bite.
The couple, who have been open about their marital challenges in the past, are reportedly navigating further strains behind the scenes. Sources close to the pair suggest that the prolonged sale of their family home has added to the pressure.
A Lavish Home with No Takers
The McGuinness' Cheshire property boasts six bedrooms, a home cinema, a gym, and sprawling gardens—a dream home for many. Yet, the lack of interest has left the couple in limbo as they attempt to move forward separately.
Neighbours have noted Paddy's subdued demeanour during recent visits to the house, a stark contrast to his usual upbeat television persona. Meanwhile, Christine has been focusing on her own projects, including her advocacy for autism awareness, as the couple's three children remain their top priority.
Marital Struggles in the Spotlight
The McGuinnesses have never shied away from discussing their relationship difficulties, having previously documented their journey in a BBC documentary. However, the ongoing property woes appear to be exacerbating tensions, with friends expressing concern over the pair's emotional wellbeing.
Estate agents familiar with the Cheshire market suggest that the mansion's high price tag, coupled with a cooling luxury property sector, may be contributing to the slow sale. For now, Paddy and Christine remain in a holding pattern, their future uncertain as their dream home lingers unsold.
