Trent's doing quite nicely, thank you very much

[The Who]

Incoming Manly Sea Eagles coach Trent Barrett and his wife, Kylie have sold their Shellharbour district home for $2.4 million.

The Barrack Point home sale follows Barrett's appointment last month as Manly coach for the 2016 season, replacing Geoff Toovey.

Barrett paid $904,000 for the house on oceanfront reserve Headland Parade in 2004. They have lived there continuously, except for in 2007 and 2008 when they resided in England.

After renovation work to create a six-bedroom, three-bathroom home with ocean views, the property set a suburb record.

There was a $2 million record set last November for an oceanfront house in nearby Junction Road.

It sold through Ray White Shellharbour.

Plus 1.

So he's got enough now for a two bedroom unit in Manly

Might have been wiser to have waited 12 months before he sold.

The Penns might sack him next year

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

That's what I've been thinking. Sounds like a great house. Barrack Point is a nice area. Maybe it would be difficult to find a renter in that area willing to fork out the required rent for a house of that value?

Narrabeen caravan park is close by cheap

Isn't Collaroy Basin our league HQ (Brandy, Des, Matty Johns, etc)? 2.4 won't get him much there...

He might have to settle for a house in Cromer

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Given his boss's tendency to sack everyone he'd be safer renting I think!

Mate if I ever sell my unit I'll probably have to go further out than that if I want a house
