Jetting off: Gareth Bale leaving his Essex home - now up for sale - prior to his Real Madrid move in the summer

Plush pad: The Essex mansion is on the market for £2.2million, and comes with five bedrooms

Gareth Bale's £2.2million Essex mansion has been put up for sale with the Welsh star settled into his new life at Real Madrid.

The five-bedroom pad in Clarence Gate, Woodford Green, has been posted on property website rightmove.com, giving fans and potential buyers the chance to look inside Bale's former abode.

The house comes with three bathrooms, a detached triple garage and a 150-foot garden.

Boasting three balconies, the house has an open plan kitchen/diner and a galleried landing, with French windows throughout to enhance natural light.

The estate agents' advert says it has been the subject of 'complete modernisation' over the last two years - and it could get even bigger.

Planning permission has reportedly been granted to add a second floor onto the property, complete with two more bedrooms and another bathroom.

Bale is now living in former Real star Kaka's house in the Spanish capital at the princely cost of £10,000 a month.

Since his world-record £86million move from Spurs, Bale has netted nine goals in 13 appearances, with the Spanish giants taking on FC Copenhagen in Tuesday night's final Champions League group stage.

The match is a dead rubber for Carlo Ancelotti's side who are guaranteed to finish top of Group B.
