Now that the last touches are being put on, Wayne and Coleen joke that it looks like a “Mini Versailles,” which is a reference to the grand French Palace from the 17th century.
Even though the Rooneys’ home doesn’t have the original 2,300 rooms, each piece of furniture was made just for them.
It was meant to be done at the beginning of the year, but Covid’s rules caused a lot of delays. A source says that Coleen thought about moving in early so that the builders would have “some focus.”
However, they completed the task after a deadline was imposed.
Wayne and Coleen, who are both 35, plan to move in with their four boys by the end of the month.
All of the builders’ cabins have been taken down, and landscapers came last week to finish up the grounds. “It’s been a hard and often frustrating process, but it’s almost done and ready to move into,” the person said.
“Wayne and Coleen are absolutely thrilled with it”.
“It’s been a long time coming, but the best things come to those who wait. They’ve still got their other house nearby so are gradually moving between both homes until everything is in.”
On a 40-acre plot in Knutsford, Cheshire, the six-bedroom mansion features stables, a six-car garage, an orangery, and two artificial angling lakes.
There is a football field and a chamber with whisky and cigars for Wayne, the manager of Championship side Derby County.
In addition, the mansion features a television room, bar, wine cellar, snooker room, movie theater, fitness center, hot tub, swimming pool, plunge pool, and massage room.
In addition, there is a foyer, a study, and a library, as well as two elevators — one for the family and one for guests.
After someone tried to break into their house in 2016, builders dug a tunnel from the pad to the nearby garage and stable block.
Both ends of the tube have steel doors that make it very safe. It can get Wayne, Coleen, and their boys Kai, Klay, Kit, and Cass away from danger if someone breaks in.
