Ex-Manchester United star Dwight Yorke will finally sell the lavish mansion he shared with Katie Price after slashing the asking price by £100,000.
The 46-year-old’s six-bedroom mansion, complete with a swanky games room and a home bar, is now under offer for £2.1million after it sat on the market since July 2017.
The former Premier League striker had originally put the luxury 6,000 square feet home up for sale for £2.2million but without any buyers he was forced to drop the price by £100,000.
Yorke had lived at the stunning property in the glamorous Alderley Edge neighbourhood of Cheshire with Price, 39, during their brief romance in 2001 and 2002.
But the pair had split by the time she gave birth to her first child Harvey in May 2002 and the model has since criticised the Trinidadian for his treatment of their 15-year-old son.

Yorke’s home features a lavish master bedroom that comes with two dressing rooms, a king-sized bed and its own living space with a leopard print three-seater sofa while the marble kitchen has an ultra-modern feel to it.
There is also a galleried reception hall, dining room, drawing room and garden room.
The home is L-shaped in design and the kitchen, breakfast and family area were refinished in a contemporary style with an open floor plan several years ago.
The exterior of the impressive property includes a detached triple garage, gated driveway and large lawned gardens.
Estate agents Stuart Rushton & Co. describes the home as: ‘A fabulous detached modern family house within walking distance of the village with wonderful 6,000 square feet of grand accommodation, designed for family living and entertaining.’
Yorke, who fired in goals for United between 1998 and 2002, secured a two-year deal working as a pundit for Sky News in 2011.
Yorke has since been coaching and training young footballers, as well as giving encouragement and advice to players. He is still very active within the football community, regularly commenting and giving his opinion on happenings within the football community.
The master bath boasts of both a shower and a separate tub, with a television mounted to the wall for ultimate relaxation
The spacious dining room, which is accented with an image of Yorke on display, leads to a calm drawing room, filled with natural light from the surrounding windows

Yorke and Price enjoyed a brief romance in 2001 and 2002 before Katie became pregnant with Harvey, although after the footballer denied paternity, she was forced to undergo DNA tests to confirm he was the father. Pictured: The ex couple in May 2001
He seems to still be on rocky terms with his ex Katie Price, who slammed him for reportedly not seeing their 15-year-old son for ten years.
The two had enjoyed a brief romance in 2001 and 2002 before Katie became pregnant with Harvey, although after the footballer denied paternity, she was forced to undergo DNA tests to confirm he was the father.
Price responded to headlines in February of last year that Yorke had been denied entry to America because he had an Iranian stamp on his passport, prompting the athlete to claim he had been treated ‘like a criminal’.
Hitting back at Yorke, Price took to Twitter, writing: ‘Why don’t you fly to West Sussex Dwight. The door is always open. It’s been ten years Harvey has been waiting #d**k’.
She added: ‘Why doesn’t he fly to West Sussex Harvey has been waiting ten years .. Dwight knows the door is always open and I’ve NEVER stopped him seeing Harvey .. it’s NEVER to late.’
The kitchen area has an open layout, with dark floors, white cabinets and dark counter tops, for a modern feel
The home is perfect for entertaining, with a winding staircase leading down to the game room and restaurant-quality bar
The stately home is only a few minutes walk into the Alderley village and is a very rare village house with land
Apart from the master bedroom, out of the other five bedrooms, two rooms feature en-suite shower and bathroom areas
Stemming out from the kitchen and dining area, is another family room, fitted with a projector and a projector screen
That wasn’t the first time Price blasted Yorke over his relationship with his child.
In her book Reborn, the mother-of-five insisted Yorke was unwilling to accept the limitations of his son’s disabilities.
When Harvey was born he was diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder Prader-Willi Syndrome, among other health complications including being blind due to Septo-optic dysplasia while he is also autistic, has an underactive thyroid and diabetes.
Harvey’s Prader-Willi Syndrome means he suffers with a chronic feeling of hunger, resulting in the fact he is prone to obesity.
The mother-of-five explained: ‘I’d explained Harvey’s condition to Dwight many times, but he refused to understand it and kept going on about him being fat.’
Above the fireplace in the spacious living room, there is more than enough space to mount a large flat screen TV
In the main living area is a nook that offers natural sunlight, perfect for reading or a quick day nap
The master bath is one of the highlights of the mansion, with double doors, a giant tub and a large vanity
Dark colours make up the design seen within Yorke’s kitchen, which is fully fitted with marble worktops
