Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have sold their £1.3 million Essex home, Pickle Cottage, and are preparing to move into a new property which they say requires extensive work.
The couple shared the news on Wednesday, bringing an end to their time at the house they have spent years renovating and personalising for their family.
Solomon and Swash moved into Pickle Cottage in 2021 after buying the property as a project. The home became closely associated with Solomon’s DIY and home-improvement projects, which she regularly documented for her followers.
The Tudor-style property, set in the Essex countryside, has included a swimming pool, extensive grounds and a number of family-focused features. The couple also held their wedding ceremony there in 2022.
Pickle Cottage has been home to the couple’s blended family of six children, with Solomon frequently sharing glimpses of their life at the property through social media and television.
Announcing the move, the couple indicated that their next house would provide another major renovation challenge, describing it as a home that “needs a lot of love”.
