Celebrity manager Nick Fordham lists in Redfern

Celebrity manager Nick Fordham is selling the Redfern terrace he has renovated over the last eight year.

Fordham, who is the boss of the celebrity management business The Fordham Company, paid $1.4 million for the William Street home in 2010.

He's now asking $2.5 million for the 1880s colonial cottage that was renovated with recycled and reclaim materials (above and below).

The home with dual level layout has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a media room and a master retreat.

Steel-framed doors open from the living area to a deck and private courtyard garden.

Cobden & Hayson agents Matthew Hayson and Brigitte Blackman are marketing the home for a November 3 auction.

Nick heads up The Fordham Company, whose clients include entrepreneur Mark Bouris, media personality Tony Squires and Nine presenter Julia Snook.

Fordham hit the headlines last year when he negotiated the move of client Lisa Wilkinson from the Today Show to Channel Ten's The Project after the gender pay dispute.

The Fordham's have a history with Redfern.

Nick's brother, 2GB radio presenter Ben Fordham, previously lived in Redfern. He sold the industrial terrace last year for $3.2 million as he moved to the Lower North Shore with his family.

He retains an investment property which, having failed to sell late last year, became a $1,800 a week rental.
