She's been contending with a gruelling round of chemotherapy as she battles breast cancer. 

But, as if that were not enough, vivacious Property Ladder star Sarah Beeny has inadvertently caused uproar with her latest landscaping project – provoking objections from two parish councils and being damned by a neighbour as ‘intolerable’.

It wasn’t what Beeny, 51, and her husband, artist Graham Swift, had in mind when they began building their 8,000 sq ft, three-storey, seven-bedroom ‘mini Downton Abbey’ at the 220-acre Somerset farm they snapped up for £3million in 2018.

Part of their vision included a lake – to be created at the back of the house by scooping huge amounts of earth out of a field.
