Pickle Cottage isn't just beautiful inside, it is surrounded by wonderful grounds, nestled in 2.5 acres of gardens.
The home's outdoor space has been used for many family events, including Stacey's baby shower and Halloween party - and it'll be no different for the couple's wedding day.
She recently offered fans a glimpse at the aisle she plans to walk down on their wedding day.
"This morning I had to meet with the caterers, florists and everyone in between because I almost forgot we are getting married in three months' time. We are on the last part now, the aisle," she wrote.
"And my sister just put a load of candles in my kitchen jars at the bottom where we are going to stand and I'm crying".
The 32-year-old asked her followers if she should walk down the whole pergola to meet fiancé Joe, after admitting her "stomach was churning" at the thought of the long walk.
"Should we just get married half way down the isle? [sic] Because it’s such a long walk." She asked. "Is it too long? I’m scared to walk that far in front of everyone. I think I’ll just end up falling over or laughing at how long it’s taking me to get down the isle [sic]. But I love the end of the arches. Help."
But the presenter's followers urged her to walk the whole way, telling her to make the most of the experience.

In another Instagram post, Stacey revealed she "really wants a karaoke" on her wedding day, as she gave fans a preview of her plans to eat in an outdoor area of the garden, underneath a thatched roof barn area.
While giving a tour, she said: "We might have like a dinner or something under here. And then I really want karaoke!"
Since moving into Pickle Cottage, the couple have carried out extensive renovations on the house, including the swimming pool - which has recently been given a brand new makeover, with mosaic tiles and a whole new patio and pergola area created.

Stacey kept her followers in the loop while transforming her conservatory ceiling, which has been completely done out with wood, some £11.99 garlands from Amazon and black spray-painted lamp holders.
On Instagram, she told fans: “So my friend found me this amazing slice of wood... So instead of hanging the flowers from the metal pole, I'm going to sort of stick them across this wood and then hang the whole thing up!”
She later decided to add some lights to the feature as well, adding: “Taking so much longer than I thought because I staple gunned the flowers on and then thought it really needs some dangly lights... So I've found some cable, lamp holders and bulbs and called my dad over. For supervision.”
Nursery

Joe and Stacey delayed their wedding when they found out Stacey was pregnant with daughter Rose to ensure all their children could join them on their big day.
And as the only baby girl in the house, it's no surprise that Stacey has gone all out for her nursery.
Rose's room follows a gorgeous pink and white theme, with a beautiful feature pink flower wall that Stacey handcrafted herself.
The room also homes numerous pink stuffed animals and a white crib and rug, as well as other heartfelt details the couple added in for their daughter.
Taking to Instagram, Stacey shared an image of a crafted a rose lamp - similar to that of Disney's Beauty and the Beast - with the caption: "Just a little something from me to you. May it always remind you of mummy and how excited we all are to meet you."

Another room at Pickle Cottage that has recently been given some TLC is the kitchen, which has had a new tile floor and has been updated to be more environmentally friendly.
Speaking to her followers on Instagram, the mum-of-four revealed she has gotten rid of her beloved Aga oven that came with the cottage, due to its impact on the environment.
"Audrey the Aga. I love her so much." She said. "We fell in love with her when we moved in but it was gas & used a huge amount from a tank in the garden, so we sent her back to Aga for them to repurpose & switched it for an electric one to save energy," Stacey explained.
"I called her Audrey and I’m going to jazz the wall up behind her with something special so she stands out even more."
Blue bathroom

When Stacey and Joe first bought Pickle Cottage, the dusty and dated bathroom was in desperate need of some attention. But fast forward to now, the bathroom couldn't look any more different thanks to Stacey's DIY skills.
When she moved in Stacey said she loved the original detailing on the toilet and the sink so decided to keep those and base the room around it.
By adding corner shelving, which she'd picked up from Amazon for £35.99 for two, and Primark pampas grass, it complimented the pale blue walls perfectly.
Rex's room

Stacey’s youngest, Rex, wasn't shy when it came to showing just how happy he was with his new bedroom.
In a Instagram post, Stacey shared a picture of Rex smiling ear to ear in his brand new grey-and-white bedroom.
The room boasts of white walls decorated with trees, birds panda bears as well as a quote that reads: "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other."
The traditional fireplace in Rex's room was also transformed with white tiling and a black and grey floral pattern.
Stacey says she does the majority of the DIY herself, with the help Joe, and often visits shops such as Amazon, Dunelm and IKEA for her bargain buys.
Dino toilet

One of the most recent parts of the house to be renovated is their upstairs bathroom which has been transformed with a dinosaur-theme design for their son Rex.
With a plethora of T-Rex toys and even some dinosaur footprints stuck on the floor, fans praised the couple for their creativity that Rex was over-the-moon with.
After the bathroom was complete, Stacey shared photos of Rex bursting with joy as he took in all the details for his brand new bathroom.
