Arsenal star Raheem Sterling has splashed out £3.1 million on a new family home in Cheshire, marking an exciting new chapter for the England winger. Nestled in a serene village, the luxurious five-acre estate features a picturesque wildlife pond, providing a perfect rural retreat for Sterling, his long-term girlfriend Paige Milian, and their newborn son, Thiago.

The stunning property spans 7,500 square feet and includes five spacious bedrooms. Sterling purchased this mansion before Christmas, transitioning from a previous rental in the same county that cost £3 million. This new home, complete with its own paddock and a one-bedroom guest apartment above a triple garage, offers a blend of luxury and comfort, all while being just under an hour’s drive from Arsenal’s training facility.

Paige Milian, a 22-year-old model, welcomed their son Thiago in a Manchester hospital last week, with Sterling by her side. The 22-year-old winger joined Arsenal in 2015 for £49 million from Liverpool and is also a proud father to a four-year-old daughter, Melody Rose, from a previous relationship.

This new purchase comes after Sterling took his former home in Birkdale off the market before Christmas, unable to find a buyer. Initially listed for £1.5 million after his move to Arsenal, the four-bedroom property saw its price reduced to £1.2 million, but it remains unsold. As Sterling settles into his new Cheshire mansion, it seems he’s ready to embrace both family life and his thriving football career.
