Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster's £4.65m Essex mansion could be a 'palace'

Penny allowed fans to see inside her plush living room when she presented Loose Women from her home. It is brimming with regal-looking features such as ornate armchairs, a vintage sideboard and lots of gilded picture frames.

During one show, her co-star Denise Welch even joked about the home's regal energy, asking Penny if she lives at Hampton Court Palace. 

One of Penny's interviews was conducted from the bedroom within her regal home, and it certainly lived up to the rest of the palatial interiors. The couple have a quilted headboard with silk curtains behind it, and the room features plenty of lighting options with fringe bedside lights and vintage wall uplights. 

While showing off her cooking efforts, Penny revealed the family kitchen which also has opulent features. Their hob has an intricately carved surround and the kitchen cupboards are painted with a sophisticated cream shade. The space has marble floors and a marble worktop. 

The presenter, who is now a qualified special constable, has a home office that's akin to a royal library with grand wooden bookcases and ornate features. The shelves are packed with antique-looking books and plenty of cherished photographs.

The Loose Women star posted a sweet clip to her Instagram Stories, showing her pet dog Bubbles gazing out into the grounds from inside her home. The perfectly preened outdoor space looked idyllic!
