Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have found themselves at the centre of speculation regarding the grounds of their impressive £3.5 million Essex mansion. The property, which they built from scratch, is surrounded by luscious lawns, and fresh photos have shown the area looking verdant despite the local hosepipe ban, causing questions about how they've managed to keep it looking so healthy.
The couple haven't posted pictures of their beloved casa on their home Instagram page (@Wrightyhome) since April; however, they are still posting their travels and family life via their personal feeds. It is unknown if this is an intentional avoidance of showcasing the property, or simply a coincidence of a busy summer.

However, the reason the couple's lawn isn't looking too shabby could be down to the fact that the ban in this area was only implemented on 3 August, whereas other water providers across the country have had restrictions in place throughout July too.
We've seen in the past that former TOWIE star Mark takes lawn care very seriously, even acquiring robot lawn mowers to keep it picture perfect. Revealing this new toy last summer, he wrote: "Honestly these robot mowers from @husqvarnauk are a game changer.
"They make your life so much easier and sending them out to graze means your lawn is always at optimum length, leaving you with top quality grass and no leftover grass clippings as it’s constantly cutting 1mm at a time, so no long leftovers. Couldn’t love these robots more. I’ll never look back."

Michelle and Mark's dream home
The pair painstakingly custom-designed their house, including features like a spa-like bathroom, a home gym and a giant kitchen. The views from the residence are incredible, sweeping out over their never-ending lawn and outdoor pool to the fields of the countryside beyond.
Not suitable for family life?
When Michelle and Mark were transforming their property room by room, comments came flooding in praising the gorgeous, minimal design. However, others pointed out that many of the rooms wouldn't be suitable for children. They went on to welcome their daughter Palma in March 2025.

"The sofa is beautiful but not child friendly", "Not having kids anytime soon then with a sofa like that", "Fantastic until there are kiddies running around that colour scheme will be pure carnage" and "Stunning but kids do not live in that house," were comments among the naysayers.
