Oakwood Home The power couple’s first purchase together remained in 1998, when they picked up an approximately $400,000 penthouse in a red-brick Victorian called Oakwood House, situated in the very chic town of Alderley Edge, a village known for its appeal with Manchester United footballers. The Beckhams turned a profit when they sold the house for approximately $733,000 in 2002.

In 1999, when Posh and Becks bought the Grade II– listed Rowneybury House, the press quickly called their brand-new home “Beckingham Palace” due to the exorbitant amount they spent on renovations at these imperial-looking digs, for which they paid approximately $3.14 million. The shopping list of features included seven bed rooms, an indoor swimming pool, a recording studio, a game room, and a gym.
“It’s an old house and I have actually themed every room. It’s truly camp,” Victoria once said in an interview. “There’s a room like a tart’s boudoir, with leopard print all over and a mirrored ceiling. Then there’s our bedroom, which is quite virginal and white, with a huge four-poster, old-oak bed. The hall is totally camp, with brilliant red walls, a substantial tacky chandelier, and huge, thick velvet curtains.”
The 24-acre premises boasted tennis courts, a football pitch, gardens, a chapel, a hedge labyrinth, and even “fake ancient ruins that form a children’s play ground.” The Beckhams sold the estate in 2014, netting just over $11 million in profit.Heawood Hall Estate Just as Victoria revealed her 2nd pregnancy in 2001, the household transferred to a converted barn in the prominent town of Nether Alderley on the historic Heawood Hall Estate, a Grade II– noted home thought to have actually been built in 1720. The Beckhams’five-bedroom spread set them back approximately$1.5 million and another$250,000 in renovations. According to reports, the property boasted a 35-foot-long indoor swimming pool, a gym, and a playroom when it increased for sale at $2.75 million in 2012. The household moved out in 2005 when Brooklyn was six years of ages; their second kid, Romeo, was 3; and their third son, Cruz, had simply shown up.
