Former Manchester United captain and head coach Michael Carrick has built quite the life off the pitch, and his sprawling countryside retreat in Cheshire offers a glimpse into just how far removed it is from his football days.
The estate, estimated to be worth around KSh 1 billion, sits within a protected Green Belt conservation area and is shared by Carrick, his wife Lisa, and their two children.
The holding did not come together overnight. Carrick initially acquired two neighbouring barn conversions separately, paying approximately KSh 250 million for one and KSh 235 million for the other.

One of those cottages is particularly well appointed, boasting four bedrooms, four reception rooms, a dressing room, a music room and two separate offices, all wrapped within the character of a traditional converted barn.
The main farmhouse on the estate adds a further five bedrooms to the picture, bringing the entire compound into a league of its own among English countryside properties.
Horses appear to be a serious passion at the Carrick household.
