“With the fire brigade coming to the rescue…”

The mother-of-two moved into the sprawling new property earlier this month after getting stuck in rebuilding and restoring the exterior.

Laura shockingly split with her husband Alex Goward this year after admitting they were on "different paths" in their lives.

The property expert seems to have gotten over her "overwhelming sadness" by throwing herself into working hard on a new property.

She moved out of her old family home in Purley, which she shared with her kids Rocco, eight, and Talia, six, and into the new Surrey mansion.

Laura has been keeping fans updated on the progress of her new place on her YouTube channel, showing her re-tiling the roof.

After moving in this month, Laura told OK! magazine that her new place was already "feeling like home".

"When I walked through the door, it felt like coming home," she said. ""I knew from the moment I first saw it. It has such a lovely feeling about it. I do feel like this is my little place in the country."

The star opened up that the renovation reinstated her love for "buying places and making them beautiful", as she did before her TV career.

While so far the home has been repaired and upcycled for the family to move in, Laura has bigger plans for the Surrey mansion.

She concluded to OK! that she hoped to put in a double-storey extension for two more bedrooms, and a gym.

Laura's fresh start comes after she announced her shock split from Alex, after 13 years together.

She married insurance broker Alex in 2012 - three years after they started dating.

Revealing her break-up, Laura said: "This isn’t something I ever thought I’d be saying but, after 13 years of being together Alex and I have separated.

"Our children are and always will be our number one priority and we would respect privacy for our family at this time."

Alongside her message to fans, Laura shared an image which read: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
