ITV star Julie Goodyear has been forced to sell her £1.3 million mansion, which comes complete with its own Corrie-style cobbles on the driveway. The 83-year-old, who was a regular in Coronation Street between 1970 and 1995, was diagnosed with dementia, prompting her and husband Scott Brand to make some major lifestyle changes.

Julie first offered up her four bedroom Manchester mansion, which is in a rural area on the outskirts of the city and boasts its own stables, in October 2024. However, a lack of interest forced her to axe £200,000 from the asking price, leading to her finally making the desired sale. It marks the last time the former actress will ever drive through the huge wrought iron gates, framed by two decorative golden eagles, again.

If a fan of the ITV soap purchased the pad, they'll be delighted to see how Julie, known for her trademark love of leopard print, made it her own.

Her distinctive personality is stamped all over the place, with animal print furnishings galore, while there's a signature oak staircase and an airy conservatory with sweeping views of her 15 acres of land.

The location had been perfect for a high-profile celebrity as it featured its own gated entrance for extra security, while the barns and gardens had also been among the property's key plus points.

However, Julie is now being cared for in Lancashire by fourth husband Scott, who is almost three decades her junior.

Despite being diagnosed with dementia, she is currently doing well, as Scott confirmed in his latest Instagram update to celebrate her birthday last month.

He wrote: "Just got home with my lovely wife and we’ve had a fantastic day together.

"Thank you so much for all your birthday wishes from both of us."

However, he deleted the photo after a backlash from fans who believed it was too personal to post given the current circumstances.

Meanwhile, Corrie fans have raved over the house photos, which appeared on Zoopla last year, with one writing on Reddit: "If ever there was a house that was emblematic of Bet Lynch/Goodyear, this is it. Quite remarkable."
