Inside Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright’s lavish home

Michelle Keegan has teased a glimpse of her lavish home with husband Mark Wright in Chigwell, Essex.

The Our Girl actress, 32, and TOWIE star, 33, purchased the £2million property in 2013 and it has six bedrooms, three bathrooms and plush furnishings.

Michelle gave an inside look at their home on Tuesday’s This Morning after she was forced to deliver an interview via videolink from her bedroom amid the UK coronavirus lockdown.

The former Coronation Street star’s bedroom boasted several luxury details such as a padded velvet floor-to-ceiling headboard, a collection of plump velvet pillows and gold bedding. 

Other details in the lavish room included several large mirrors, a diamond chandelier and sparkling mirrored cabinets. 

Michelle often gives fans a glimpse of her home as she regularly shares outfit snaps and updates about her pet pooches – Dachshund, Phoebe, Chihuahua, Pip, and her mother’s sausage dog Dougie, while Mark, who has just returned after working in Los Angeles as a presenter, also reveals details of their abode. 

In the hallway, the couple have gone for a white open staircase and at Christmas time they decorate the area with a lavish tree taking centre-stage and lighted tinsel on the banisters.

The front of their home has a grand look with three-step porch, driveway and large glass wooden door to welcome guests with.

Michelle and Mark also have a sprawling garden to entertain friends and family in with a picturesque countryside view, large wooden shed, patio area and rattan outdoor furniture.

Meanwhile, the couple’s living room boasts a huge flat screen TV on the wall, a large glass coffee table, huge candles and sweet pictures of them plastered across the mirrored cabinets.  

The bathroom – the location of many selfies between the two – doesn’t disappoint as it features a round sink, as well as a designer radiator.

A year after moving to the house, Michelle wrote in her blog for Hello!: ‘We are so settled in our new home.

‘It’s like a real sanctuary now, and I have to thank Laura and Sarah who run an interior design/furniture shop business in Essex called Stripes of Essex.

‘They are sisters and have a sharp eye for detail, and have helped make the house into a home 🙂 can’t recommend them enough – thank you talented ladies!!’  

And it won’t be long until Michelle and Mark will be treating fans to a glimpse of their new home after purchasing their dream home, a four bedroom Essex farmhouse, for £1.3million in October.

Although the couple have reportedly hit a stumbling block after an alleged row with the local council over the property’s foul sewage disposal. 

Michelle and husband Mark submitted plans to knock down their new place and replace it with a sprawling Georgian-style mansion, but the council are also said to be concerned over fears the land is ‘contaminated’ from its previous use as a farm.

According to The Sun, Michelle and Mark have failed to share any plans for getting rid of their toilet waste, with the local council concerned the plot might not have suitable drainage.  

The publication reports that Epping Forest District Council’s environmental protection and drainage unit wrote a letter this week stating that the pair had to provide the land drainage condition. 

It read: ‘The applicant has no proposal to dispose of foul sewage… the geology of the area is predominantly clay and infiltration drainage may not be suitable for the site.’ 

Another council letter from February stated fears that the property is contaminated: ‘These records have identified that the site has potentially contaminated land due to its use as a farm.’

It went on to say that the project can only go ahead with certain water controls ‘to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors.’

MailOnline contacted Michelle and Mark’s representatives for comment at the time.
