According to the reports from the Mirror, Sir Alex's decision to part ways with the home follows the passing of Lady Cathy Ferguson in October, leaving behind a cherished legacy encompassing her husband, three sons, two sisters, 12 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. As Sir Alex advances, bidding adieu to his cherished home, memories of a life shared with Lady Cathy will forever linger within its walls.

While this residence has been a sanctuary for the Ferguson family, it hasn't been devoid of controversy. In 2020, Sir Alex engaged in a planning dispute over a neighboring property's development, expressing concerns about privacy and the area's character due to proposed tree removal.

Despite objections, planners approved the scheme, marking a chapter of contention during the football icon's time in this luxurious abode. As Sir Alex Ferguson prepares to part ways with his treasured home, its walls carry the echoes of a life lived, woven with memories and experiences shared with Lady Cathy.
