Work on Wayne and Coleen Rooney’s sprawling Cheshire mansion is finally nearing completion, more than two years after plans to develop the 40-acre estate got underway.
New pictures from the site show the two building property in a near-habitable state, with the scaffolding that previously surrounded it dismantled, fresh masonry adorning its extension and sliding sash windows looking out at the picturesque Cheshire countryside.
But while work draws to a close, a team of builders continue to work on the property’s numerous interior spaces, among them six enormous bedrooms.
Home sweet home: Work on Wayne Rooney’s sprawling Cheshire mansion is finally nearing completion, more than two years after plans to develop the 40-acre estate got underway
Plans: Wayne and Coleen planned to move house after the family were left shaken when burglars broke into their home in August 2016
Its two outbuildings, situated on either side of the main property, also appear to be in a state of near completion as contractors endeavour to finish the project ahead of schedule.
Elsewhere the roof has been fully tiled, a vast difference to its tarpaulin covered appearance 12 months ago.
Wayne and Coleen planned to move house for months after the family were left shaken when burglars broke into their home last August.
Lovely: Fresh masonry adorns its extension while sliding sash windows looking out at the picturesque Cheshire countryside
Ever present: While work on the property is almost complete, a large crane still looms over the estate
Ongoing: Vans and building materials can be seen outside one of the property’s two enormous outbuildings
Previous images of the 40-acre site, taken in May, showed builders working on the roof, with all three floors of the sprawling property erected but a long way from completion.
The vast landscape was first pictured during snowfall in December 2017, but showed the construction on the ground floor was well under way.
The lavish home is said will feature its own bar, snooker room, cinema and indoor swimming pool.
Enormous: The house will have six bedrooms, all with en-suites, big enough to accommodate their four sons, Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass
Plenty of room: The mega-mansion is also believed to house a spa with a plunge pool, a six car garage and an orangery and a stable where they will be able to keep up to 15 horses
Lavish: A wine cellar and football pitch are also being constructed elsewhere on the sprawling pile
Life of luxury: The mega-mansion is also believed to house a spa with a plunge pool, a six car garage and an orangery and a stable where they will be able to keep up to 15 horses

MailOnline previously reported that a wine cellar and football pitch are also being constructed on the sprawling pile.
Guests will be able to opt for ‘his’ or ‘hers’ changing rooms, and after a dip they can pop outside to the extensive patio and landscaped gardens.
When completed, the property will have two floors as well as a subterranean basement, which will be home to the steam room, hot-tub, gym, cinema room with ten seats, wine cellar and snooker room with bar.
Almost there: The scaffolding that surrounded the property in September (pictured) has since been dismantled
Work in progress: Piles of building materials, diggers and a crane – looming high above the site – suggested considerable work still needed to be done when it was last pictured in September 2018
Quite a difference: The main property looked vastly different as builders worked furiously to complete its roof in July 2018
Plans for the new home were already in place before Wayne’s drink-drive conviction threatened to rock their nine-year marriage.
Wayne was caught behind the wheel of officer worker Laura Simpson’s Volkswagen in September 2017, and she later said she planned to have sex with the England star if they had not been stopped by police.
After months of speculation that her marriage was on the rocks, Coleen released a defiant statement via Facebook, confirming that they were due to work on it and stay together.
Big move: Wayne signed a three and a half year contract with MLS side DC United in June, prompting a move to the United States
