Former Arsenal and England captain Tony Adams has put his nine-bedroom Cotswolds mansion on the market for £4.25 million. The property, which he bought over 20 years ago for £2 million, is expected to yield a significant profit.
Adams, 58, purchased the estate after retiring from football in 2002. The mansion includes an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, cinema, games room, and a separate two-bedroom cottage. It sits on more than five acres of landscaped gardens with views of the countryside.
The interior features period details, high ceilings, and seven bathrooms. The master bedroom has a football-style dressing room. The games room displays Arsenal memorabilia, including Adams's number 6 shirt, a pool table, and a drum kit.
Adams moved into the property with his second wife, Poppy Teacher, shortly after their marriage. The couple have shared family life there with their three children and Adams's children from his first marriage. Last year, his Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones visited, posting about their time together.
The sale marks a contrast to Adams's earlier struggles with alcoholism, which included a 1990 drink-driving crash that led to a four-month prison sentence. He has since become a campaigner for addiction recovery.
