Photos of the property also reveal a dazzling hallway chandelier, en-suite bathrooms and perfectly manicured lawns.
The former Manchester United gaffer likely left off steam in his charming game room – decorated with art work, oak bookcases and a snooker table.
The property also has a unique ‘Ferguson clan’ tartan carpet adorned on the staircase.
Estate agents say: “This impressive, deceptively spacious detached is…positioned within a very private, gated and secure plot.
“It boasts approximately 7,000 sq ft.”
Sir Alex decided to sell the property following the death of his wife, the Mirror reported.
Lady Cathy Ferguson passed away in October aged 84, and is survived by her husband, their three sons, two sisters, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
He was among the mourners at Sir Bobby Charlton’s funeral earlier this month. Sir Alex has said his wife, who he met in 1964, was a “bedrock” in his life.
Fergie’s time living at the luxurious gaff wasn’t without its share of controversy.
In 2020, Sir Alex lost a planning struggle when the neighboring property voiced a substantial opposition to the proposal to destroy a two-story house and build a three-story mansion.
Fergie’s lawyers sent a five-page objection letter to the organizers.
He claimed that the removal of the trees will alter the natural landscape and jeopardize his privacy.
“Likely to have a significant impact on the character of the area and the existing privacy standards afforded,” he stated of the tree removal.
However, organizers chose to move forward with the plan.
