<\/p>\nSarah Beeny has confessed her marriage to husband Graham Swift is ‘hanging on by its fingernails’ following her breast cancer battle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet prior to her reveal, the couple were splashed over television screens thanks to the refurbishment on their stunning country mansion – which is the feature of their show\u00a0Sarah Beeny’s New Life in the Country.<\/p>\n
Back in 2020, Sarah and Graham decided to up sticks from their London home with their kids sons Billy, 18, Charlie, 16, Rafferty, 14, and Laurie, 12, and move to a former 220 acre farm near Bruton in Somerset which they have renovated on-screen.<\/p>\n
Although the farm had permission to build a new house, the couple had grander plans as they wanted to build a mini stately home with five properties in a different field where planning permission had been granted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite beef from neighbours, they were eventually granted the planning permission, while Sarah caused further controversies when she decided to keep a wild rabbit as a pet after her cat captured the animal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I discovered years ago that you can paint a room dark red, but it\u2019s the other colours in there that\u2019s the difference between a room that looks like a womb, or a luscious rich and exotically decadent living space.’<\/p>\n
On the flip side to their super classic styling, they have worked hard to keep themselves with the ages with their solar energy scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Given Graham’s career as an artist, the walls in the home are carefully curated with stunning pieces, including his own work and that of other artists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Read up! The toilet in one of the bathrooms was kitted out with a number of books, including Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah said of his work: ‘Having a craft that is exceptional to you is such a totally amazing thing. My husband, Graham Swift, is an artist and I admire his work because there\u2019s no way anyone else could do what he does…<\/p>\n
‘The skill I would really like to be better at is dressing and arranging spaces. It\u2019s much harder than you\u2019d think and comes very naturally to some people.’<\/p>\n
As well as the stunning inside, Sarah previously spoke about what she loves about the exterior saying: ‘What made me fall in love with the house was its position…<\/p>\n
‘The sunsets and sunrises are beautiful, the views are amazing and there is a tinkling stream to play in. It is also less than two hours from London so I can get up and down to meetings very easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
