Stacey Solomon, once reliant on milk tokens as a teenage mother, has purchased a £2.5 million country manor in Essex, a significant step in her rise to become one of television's most successful personalities. The 36-year-old and her husband, Joe Swash, 44, have moved from their former home, the £1.3 million 'Pickle Cottage', to a Victorian property situated on 30 acres of land, which includes stables and a lake.
The newly acquired mansion spans over 8,000 square feet and features a sauna, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite bathroom with a circular bathtub. The property is described as a "doer-upper," with ongoing renovation work evident, including the presence of builders' vans and the installation of chicken coops.
Solomon's career trajectory has seen her amass an estimated £10.1 million fortune. Her financial success is attributed to her television appearances, lucrative endorsement deals, and a burgeoning business empire. Company filings indicate that her main company, Key Map Entertainments Limited, reported net assets exceeding £10.1 million for the year ending June 2025. She has also expanded into property ownership, establishing Key Map Prop Limited, which recently acquired a plot of land adjacent to her new home.
Her entrepreneurial ventures extend to a 25% stake in the beauty business Capello Limited, valued at £3 million in 2025, and a cosmetics range named Belle & Rose. Solomon has cultivated a significant following on Instagram, attracting partnerships with major retailers such as Primark and Asda, and brands including Jet2 and In The Style.
Parallel to her business activities, Solomon has maintained a prominent television career. Following her success on "The X Factor" in 2009 and "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!" in 2010, she became a regular on ITV's "Loose Women." Her own primetime BBC show, "Sort Your Life Out," which focuses on decluttering and home organization, has also been a significant success, alongside other programs like "Craft Christmas" and "Renovation Rescue."
The move to the new estate fulfills a long-held family dream of having more space for animals and cultivating their own produce. Solomon shared her excitement with fans on Instagram, describing the new property as a "Pickle Project" and expressing her eagerness to undertake the renovation.
She has previously spoken candidly about her challenging upbringing in Dagenham, detailing her reliance on benefits as a single teenage mother and the discipline required to manage her responsibilities, which she credits with shaping her organized approach to life. The couple's blended family, comprising five children, is a central aspect of their public persona.
The new estate is located in an area known for its rural charm, which has also attracted other television personalities. Local residents have welcomed the couple, describing Solomon as friendly and the area as a desirable place to live, citing its fresh air and starry night skies.
