Stacey Solomon often shares photos of the garden at Pickle Cottage, but the most recent snap showed a fresh look at one corner of the outdoor space she's fortunate to have, which looks positively enchanting.

Taking to Instagram, the Sort Your Life Out presenter, who lives at her Essex home with her husband Joe Swash and their five children, posted a photo of her vegetable garden surrounded by gorgeous trees.

The area is accessed by a wooden gate, which has a charming wooden sign that reads: "Pickles Patch".

Stacey's patch is blooming with foliage and also has adorable small logs that are perfect for her little ones to sit on. 

The area is so pretty that it wouldn't look out of place in a storybook.

Stacey Solomon's life at Pickle Cottage

Stacey, Joe and their children have lived at their £1.5 million cottage in Essex since 2021, and since then, they have worked on completely renovating it to make it their dream home.

The pair have transformed the garden, the kitchen, bedrooms and their living spaces, such as their lounge and dining room. 

Outside, they're fortunate to enjoy a huge pool area and terrace, which comes in handy during the warmer months.
