STOKE CITY midfielder Stephen Ireland's luxury home which featured on TV show Come Dine With Me has gone on the market - for £3.95m.

Ireland's six-bed mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire, is described as an "exceptional contemporary residence" by estate agents Savills - and they are not wrong.

 The £100,000 fish tank is certainly one of the highlights of Stephen Ireland's £3.95m mansion

This place covers 8,000sq ft, has its own swimming pool, astroturf five-a-side pitch, gym, £100,000 fish tank and orange pool table.

The Potters midfielder and his wife Jessica have previously showcased the house in celebrity magazines and it was onTV when Jessica took part in an edition of Come Dine With Me.

Ireland has been living in the area, with Premier League footballers as neighbours, for the best part of a decade.

Wilmslow-based Savills said of the property: "Few properties make the impression of Asana. This is an exceptional house in so many ways.

 The swimming pool is another major selling point for the stunning Cheshire property

"The quality of presentation is astounding, with individually sourced wall and floor coverings, fantastic quality fixtures and fittings and artistic flourishes which contribute to creating a unique home.

"The property is as well suited to entertaining as for family use and the great flow of the accommodation means there are areas away from the main family space if needed.

"The staff accommodation is ideal for a housekeeper or live-in nanny while offering space for guests to be self-contained.

The gym below is of professional standard and in all, this has great further potential for accommodating teenagers in their own space."

Ireland is back in training with Stoke, building up his fitness as he continues to recover from an awful double leg fracture suffered in spring 2016.

The former Manchester City player-of-the-year was given a short-term contract in the summer to help find his way back to full speed.
