Inside David and Victoria’s £150,000 First House: Where Beckham’s Legendary Career Began at Manchester United Before Beckingham Palace

LifeStyle — 03/07/2024

A young David Beckham is seen giving fans a tour of his modest home, which he shared with his wife Victoria. The video, filmed in 1997 when Beckham was just 22 years old, showcases their four-bedroom property on Hazlehurst Road in Worsley, Salford. The house, purchased for £150,000, was a far cry from the Beckhams’ current extravagant £56 million property portfolio.

During the tour, Beckham proudly displays his living room, complete with dark curtains, a white leather sofa, and a life-size cardboard cutout of himself. Trophies are casually placed on a window ledge, and a framed photo of Beckham with the 1996/97 PFA Young Player of the Year award is showcased. The kitchen reveals a pack of Walkers crisps featuring Victoria Beckham on the front, alongside yogurt, strawberries, and Toffee Crisp bars.

Beckham’s walk-in wardrobe consists of a small corner with upright racks, housing his shirt collection. The presenter playfully mocks Beckham’s “massive” collection of fifteen pairs of sneakers at the time. The video was recorded shortly before the couple moved into their renowned £2.5 million Hertfordshire home, known as Beckingham Palace.

Although the Beckham’s humble home holds fond memories for them, their subsequent residences have been much grander. They have since resided in properties such as their £36.8 million Holland Park home, a £7.2 million Cotswold retreat, a £22 million modern Miami condo, and their permanent residence in London.

While the video offers a glimpse into the early days of David and Victoria Beckham’s life together, it also highlights the remarkable journey they have taken, transitioning from their modest beginnings to becoming global icons in the world of fashion, sports, and celebrity.
