Yahoo News The dream £3m gated mansion in Greater Manchester that looks like The Notebook house
A dream mansion has come up for sale in Greater Manchester for a whopping £3,150,000, and it closely resembles the idyllic property that features in The Notebook.
Fans of the 2004 romantic movie, based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, will know that the film features a huge white house built by Noah, a poor man, for his lover Allie, who comes from a wealthy family.
Before they are forced apart because of their differences in society, Allie, played by Rachel McAdams wishes for "a white house with a big old porch," which years later is brought to life by Noah, played by Ryan Gosling.
Now, a gated mansion that looks like Allie's dream house has come on the market in Hale, one of the region's 'most prestigious areas', which has an average house price of £663,340.
Found on a private road, the four-bed detached house sits at the end of a large sweeping driveway and features an all-white exterior with a big porch and balcony at the front.
The individually-designed home has a grand entrance hall, three main reception rooms and a stylish open plan kitchen, dining and family room on the ground floor. Upstairs it has a large landing leading to four double bedroom suites, each with contemporary en-suite bath or shower rooms.
Listed for sale on Zoopla with estate agents Gascoigne Halman, the listing reads: "Located on a quiet, private, no-through road, this beautifully presented home occupies a prime position in one of Hale's most prestigious locations, with easy access to the village and highly regarded schools.
"Hale is a vibrant village renowned for its specialist shops, services and restaurants which are within a reasonable walking distance of the property. Hale railway station offers links with Knutsford, and further afield to Chester. Hale and its surrounding towns and villages are particularly favoured, having good commuter links into Manchester City Centre and Salford Quays via the Metrolink facility at Altrincham station.
"Trafford is also well known for its excellent schooling, both in the state and private sectors. Indeed, there are several good schools nearby to suit children of all ages."
