Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has scrapped plans to build a lavish £3million home after villagers in Cheshire's exclusive 'golden triangle' branded it a hotel complex.
The Premier League winner and England star, 30, wanted to knock down two adjoining homes to make way for the seven-bed mansion with a trophy corridor, family pool, cinema, play room and tennis court.
But the parish council described the proposed new-build near Knutsford as 'more akin to a commercial or industrial building than a dwelling' following complaints from neighbours.
Henderson has withdrawn a planning application to Cheshire East Council to demolish the two existing properties which dated back to 1841, despite them not being deemed a heritage asset.
