Sterling splashed out the case for the luxury pad in Cheshire just weeks before he and partner Paige Milian gave birth to new baby son Thiago.

The Manchester City ace spent six months searching for the ideal spot to start a family and was finally bowled over by the five-acre plot in the countryside.

Less than an hour from City’s training ground, the new house comes complete with its own wildlife pond and a paddock, surrounded by farmland.

The quiet base is a short drive from the rented house he had been using following his £49m move to City from Liverpool in 2015.

It houses five bedrooms, plus an additional guest flat built over the top of the THREE garages and has a floorplan of 7,500 square feet.

Sterling, who earns £180,000-a-week at City, bought the house just before Christmas and moved in just in time to get sorted before 22-year-old model partner Paige gave birth last week.

The England forward already has a four-year-old daughter called Melody Rose from a previous relationship.

Sterling splashed out on the new house despite suffering frustrations in his efforts to sell his old home in Birkdale.

The four-bedroom mansion went on the market for £1.5m 18 months ago, before £300,000 was knocked off the asking price last March.

But it has failed to attract any buyers so Sterling has decided to take it off the market.
