The pair, who share five children together – Zachary, Leighton, Rex, Rose and Belle – have put their own stamp on the property, adding an outdoor swimming pool and a life-size Wendy house.
Since moving into their beautiful abode, the couple have also incorporated an array of fluffy companions into their large brood. Their menagerie of animals includes a gaggle of ducks and two dogs called Peanut and Teddy.
Stacey and Joe added a duck pond to their property for their four ducks called Daisy, Delilah, Daphne and Delphine. They shared a glimpse of the idyllic setup on Instagram, revealing a picket-fenced area with a large pond and a mesh duck house.
At the time, they shared: "We built this pond ourselves & it's been a labour of love. This was the hardest pickle cottage project so far but was worth EVERY single second! Months of hard work and the happiness on those ducks' beaks is EVERYTHING!"
