Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, 60, has signed over the deeds to his glorious Cotswolds manor in a shock move.
The interior design expert has relinquished his grand home while planning for the future.
He told The Sunday Times: "I'm no longer lord of the manor," and explained that his surprising decision was to hand it down to the next generation.
As well as Laurence and his wife Jackie, the property is occupied by his two daughters, their husbands and four young children.

Hermione explains that the names now on the deeds are not even her and her sister: “Hilariously, Cecile and I aren’t on the deeds, because we inherit it anyway — it’s actually the husbands.” Laurence then added: “One of the most amusing things was having to sit down with a solicitor for them to assess whether Jackie and I were being coerced into this by our bullying sons-in-law. Our friends just can’t believe it. They go, what happens if you all fall out?”
Multi-generational living

Laurence's daughter Cecile lives with her husband, Dan and their children Albion, eight, and Demelza, four, in a converted garage on site.
While Hermione and her husband, Drew, along with their children Romilly, almost three, and Eleanora, 18 months, live in the main house, in a space that's separated from Laurence and Jackie by a secret door.
The house is full of quirky interiors as you can expect, and there's even plans for a gin bar halfway up the stairlift.
"We have provision for a stairlift. And yes, we have provision for a minibar on the stairlift. Because if it gets stuck halfway up, you’ve got to keep gin-drated," remarks Laurence in the same interview.
Look inside Laurence's newly decorated home:
Laurence's kitchen
The presenter has opted for a teal shaker-style kitchen with white subway tiles. His favourite feature? The stunning teal, red and orange tiled floor.
The design surprised fans though, as it was a little more pared back than his usual tastes. "The floor is very LLB but the rest is very plain, not what I expected; however, it is very me," one Instagram user wrote.
Another added: "Love it. Looks a bit plain for a Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen design."
Laurence's bedroom
The star showcased his statement bedroom with a video on Instagram. He has orange patterned wallpaper as well as an orange patterned headboard. A small bedside table, a cosy lamp and multiple pieces of artwork add further personality to the boudoir.
Laurence's lounge
Laurence's signature florals are plastered over the walls with a dark and beautiful wallpaper. He then has stone floors, a blue rug and a range of eclectic furniture. A pop of pink is added by a bright orchid, which is in turn picked up by the colour in the cushions on the sofa.
Laurence's granddaughters' room
In a promotional video for Shutterly Fabulous, Laurence shared a look at his granddaughters' pink bedroom. The space has a mini table and chairs, two animal rockers and the most amazing fairytale wallpaper.
