Man United footballer Gary Neville has splashed out on a new
home - his own Pennine village.
Neville has bought a remote moorland hamlet, once home to 60
people, called Top O' Th' Knotts.
The village features a farmhouse surrounded by seven other homes
and three barns, says the Daily Star.
But it's mostly derelict and hardly anybody lives there anymore so
Gary sees it as an investment.
He aims to restore the buildings, live in the farmhouse and sell
off the other properties.
The Star quotes a local as saying: "Not so long ago anyone wanting
to buy Top O' Th' Knotts would have been called a village
idiot.
"The place needs a lot of work doing on it but with the price of
property these days he will probably end up making a
fortune."
