The Grade II listed manor is set among 42 acres of countryside in the small Welsh village of Northop, near Mold.
Owen, 40, has owned the property since 2001 and lives there with his wife Louise Bonsall and their four children.

It includes a giant photo-frame on the wall that carries a handful of Owen’s England jerseys from the 89 caps the striker won.
