Stacey Solomon Purchases New Mansion Solely in Her Name

Stacey Solomon has reportedly purchased a new £2 million mansion in Essex, acquiring the property solely in her name. This marks a repeat of her previous transaction, as she was also the sole owner of their former home, Pickle Cottage. The news comes after Solomon, 36, and her partner, actor Joe Swash, 44, announced the sale of their family home to move into the new property.

Solomon originally bought Pickle Cottage for £1.3 million in 2021, referring to it as the family's 'forever home' at the time, before deciding to move five years later. Earlier this year, it was revealed that while the couple had a wedding ceremony at Pickle Cottage in 2022, their marriage has not yet been formally registered.

According to The Sun, Solomon has again purchased a property without Swash, with an insider suggesting it was practical for her to be the sole purchaser. "Stacey's a canny businesswoman and was also the sole owner of Pickle Cottage, which sold for over £1 million, so it made sense she'd buy the new home on her own," a source told the publication. The insider added that Solomon secured a reduction on the asking price for the new mansion, which she purchased for over £2 million, a sum that represents a small fraction of her estimated £10 million net worth.

The new residence is a Victorian-era manor situated on 30 acres of countryside. The property, which is over 8,000 square feet, features stables, a coach house, and a lake. It underwent extensive renovations, with builders' vans frequently seen at the property, which was formerly owned by a newspaper journalist. Solomon has shared glimpses of the ongoing work with her followers on Instagram, showcasing features like a large bedroom with a sauna and a walk-in wardrobe.

Solomon's career trajectory has seen a significant rise since her third-place finish on The X Factor in 2009. Her success continued with a win on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! the following year, establishing her as a popular television personality. Her business ventures, focusing on decorating, decluttering, and DIY, have contributed to her substantial net worth, which reportedly exceeded £10 million in the year to June 2025. Her main company, Key Map Entertainments Limited, reported net assets of over £10.1 million, an increase from approximately £7.3 million the previous year.

Solomon has also diversified into property, establishing Key Map Prop Limited in April, where she serves as the sole director. Additionally, she holds a 25% stake in Capello Limited, which operates the beauty business Rehab and was valued at £3 million in 2025. Her significant presence on social media, with approximately six million Instagram followers, has also led to lucrative partnerships with brands such as Primark and Asda.

Her television career includes regular appearances on Loose Women and her own primetime BBC show, 'Sort Your Life Out.' She has also presented other shows like 'Craft Christmas' for BBC and 'Renovation Rescue' for Channel 4, alongside publishing books.

The move from Pickle Cottage, a Tudor-style home on 2.5 acres in Essex, was prompted by the family's desire for more space to accommodate animals and grow produce. Solomon explained to fans that the new property offered the potential for a large vegetable patch and the ability to house animals in need, as well as bringing their horses and ponies to the estate. She described the new home as a 'project' that requires significant renovation but expressed excitement for the process.

Locals in the village have welcomed Solomon and her family, with one resident describing her as "very friendly" and "a really nice person." Another neighbor noted that the family is "welcome here, they're lovely" and expressed good wishes for them.
