The rags-to-riches millionaire has put his lavish seven-bedroom mansion on the market for almost \u00a37m.<\/p>\n

Oliver Nobahar-Cookson, who kick-started health supplement brand Myprotein in his twenties, has put the Tudor-style country pile for \u00a3300k less than what he bought it for.<\/p>\n

The drop in value isn’t likely to worry Cookson though, as the sprawling mansion is just one of his many ultra-luxurious properties around the globe, with a portfolio including homes in Monte Carlo and Monaco.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Located on the cusp of Cheshire’s famous ‘Golden Triangle’, the house sits in 13 acres of woodland and private land in plush Alderley Edge.<\/p>\n

The main house is spread across four floors, boasting five bedrooms, an entrance hall, spacious dining room and open plan kitchen each decorated in a blend of traditional timber frames and modern fittings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is also a leisure suite consisting of a pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room, as well as a cinema room, bar, wine cellar and gymnasium.<\/p>\n

A cosy annex just across the cobblestone drive above the property’s five door garage features a further two bedrooms, a dining area and kitchen – perfect for any guests seeking their own space.<\/p>\n

Alderley Edge, nicknamed the ‘Knightsbridge of the north’, has long been a popular home for the rich and famous, particularly Premier League footballers including David Beckham and\u00a0Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

\"David <\/p>\n

David and Victoria Beckham used to own a similarly glamourous country pile in the same neighborhood (Pictured)\u00a0<\/p>\n

And millionaire nutrition tycoon Oliver was no exception, as despite leaving school with just one GCSE he went on to become worth an estimted \u00a3306million.<\/p>\n

Cookson, originally from Cheadle Heath, Manchester, left education at the age of 16 because school ‘wasn’t for him’ and went on to complete an apprenticeship in computer programming.<\/p>\n

The budding entrepreneur\u00a0taught himself how to make a website in his spare time and after taking a sabbatical in Australia he fell in love with the fitness industry.<\/p>\n

His passion for working out led him into taking protein and supplements which later sparked his interest into what was actually in them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At 23-years-old, he wondered if there was a faster and cheaper way to make protein powder himself.<\/p>\n

Oliver asked his local bank for a start-up loan but he was turned down, however, they did agree to increase his overdraft to \u00a3500.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Using his overdraft, the entrepreneur bought a bag of protein and started mixing and flavouring his product. In 2004 he put the product on his website and it sold out straight away.<\/p>\n

While working full-time as a web developer, he single-handedly ran the company until the demand for his product became too much to handle alone.<\/p>\n

Eventually\u00a0Myprotein had grown so much that Oliver was able to buy his first warehouse in Cheadle Heath.<\/p>\n

Just a few years after starting the company, Oliver’s hard work paid off when Myprotein was named the number one sports nutrition online company in Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2011, he sold the company to The Hut Group for an impressive \u00a3350 million in cash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Using his overdraft, the entrepreneur bought a bag of protein and started mixing and flavouring his product – starting MyProtein<\/p>\n

In 2019, the sale led to him being named the UK’s number one self-made millionaire under 40 and he also made the Sunday Times Rich List.<\/p>\n

It is unclear when Oliver purchased the property in Cheshire, but his departure from the luxurious Hanson Hall will no doubt entice another high earning A-lister to take his place.<\/p>\n

Alderley Edge was also once home to David and Victoria Beckham, who bought a\u00a0converted barn for \u00a31.25million in 2001 and spent \u00a3200,000 doing it up<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They were forced to sell it it four years later after the midfielder had moved to Real Madrid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The three-storey Hollinshead House, which is 16 miles from Manchester City Centre, sits on half an acre of land and boasts landscaped gardens and grounds.<\/p>\n

The ground floor opens with a huge entrance hall and boasts a luxurious play room, drawing room, and breakfast room.<\/p>\n

There is also a hand made David Lisle kitchen with limestone floor and granite worktops, utility room, boot room, and bathroom.<\/p>\n

Other famous footballers to have moved from the bustling streets of Manchester to the Cheshire countryside<\/a> include former Manchester City teammates\u00a0Erling Haaland and\u00a0Jack Grealish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is unclear when Oliver purchased the property in Cheshire, but his departure from the luxurious Hanson Hall<\/p>\n

The former was reportedly spotted viewing homes with his long-term partner Isabel Haugseng Johansen, 20, in October 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sun later reported they had moved to the countryside after purchasing a six-bed mansion near Alderley Edge, which is just an estimated 30 minutes from Manchester city centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Grealish, who recently completed a move to Merseyside with Everton, bought a \u00a35.6m property near Knutsford with his partner\u00a0Sasha Attwood.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cristiano Ronaldo is another big name to have previously purchased a property in the area following his return to the Premier League in 2021<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 23-acre estate, which the Portuguese star put up for sale shortly after his move to Saudi Arabia in 2023, includes a two-bed guest barn as well as the stunning main house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other features include a cinema room, a wine store, a leisure suite with pool, gym, sauna, and jacuzzi, and a padel court.<\/p>\n

Manchester United star Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen also used to live in Prestbury until they moved to a \u00a320million home they designed nearby<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The rags-to-riches millionaire has put his lavish seven-bedroom mansion on the market for almost \u00a37m.
