Manchester United player Gary Neville converted a barn into the plush mansion in 1999 – the same year the Red Devils won the treble.
Part of the four-bedroom house, which has its own mini five-hole golf course in the grounds, is known as the Beckham Suite, as David, 45, lived there for a year when his wife Victoria, 46, was away.
Neville moved out of the house in Bolton, Lancashire, in 2003, but still owns land nearby where he tried to build his Teletubby-style eco house.

In an interview, Gary admitted that while Becks was staying the former England captain would do all the cooking.
He told The Guardian in 2014: ‘I roomed with David Beckham and when I had my house in Bolton, David would stay when Victoria was away, and he’d make food for me all the time.
‘Stir-fries with noodles and vegetables and pasta dishes with sauces – a lot of pasta.’
The property’s illustrious history is on show as soon as buyers walk through the door, with two wooden carved lions on the stairway bearing the Manchester United and England crests.

The house has an integrated sound and music system, and residents can talk to anyone in a different room via an intercom.
It also has a £60,000 bar in a fully equipped entertainment room, which includes disco strobe lighting, karaoke equipment and a 6ft projector screen.

The bedrooms all have walk-in wardrobes and en-suites, while the master has its own special steam room.
