Real Madrid star Gareth Bale 'puts £2.2m Essex mansion up for sale'

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has reportedly put his mansion in Essex up for sale following his move from Tottenham Hotspur to the Bernabeu.

The Wales international has opted to put the £2.2m five-bedroom property, which sits in Clarence Gate, Woodford Green, on the website Rightmove.co.uk.

The mansion boasts a 150-foot garden, three bathrooms and a detached triple garage, while planning permission to add a second floor to the house has also been granted, according to the Daily Mail.

Bale left his base in Essex after he secured a move to Madrid in the summer for a reported world-record £85m fee.
