Mark, 34, has been keeping fans updated on the progress of their dream home and on Wednesday shared a tour of the property to his Instagram stories.

With busy workmen in the background the former Towie star made his way up into the loft area.

Holding the camera, Mark explained: "So the roof rooms are now being shaped and laid out.

"This is the hallway when you get up to the roof, one bedroom over here and one bedroom over there..."

He went on: "At this stage we're working out where the beds are gonna go, cause you want to put in the electricity for the TV and stuff."

Detailing how each room would each have their own ensuites, Mark proudly pointed out the "views all across the land."

Mark and his wife Michelle dished out £1.3 million on the mock-Tudor house which was previously on the site.

After demolishing the old property, they set about creating their brand new dream home on the plot.

Mark and Michelle have plans in place for a stunning landscaped garden and an outdoor pool within the grounds.

The house, meanwhile, will feature a huge makeup room for former Our Girl and Coronation Street star Michelle, which will join up with an even bigger dressing room on the first floor.

Each of the property’s five bedrooms will have their own en-suites, while three of them will also have dressing rooms.

Michelle and Mark's master bedroom is set to feature a glass balcony so the couple can enjoy their extensive countryside views.

They recently made the decision to surround the property with fast-growing trees to keep out prying eyes.

The magnificent new rural home has a footpath that cuts through their land, giving a right of way to ramblers.

The couple had hoped to build a wall and install electric gates but were told they were not allowed to close off the footpath.

Instead, Mark and Michelle have employed a team of landscapers to plant scores of laurel and conifer trees that will provide a leafy barrier to people seeing into their new property.
