Sarah Beeny’s £3m mansion hit with demolition order

• Sarah Beeny's £3 million Somerset mansion, featured on Channel 4's Sarah Beeny’s New Life in the Country, is facing a demolition order.
• An extension built without planning permission, and documented on the show, was retrospectively refused by the council.
• Ms Beeny and her husband Graham Swift appealed against the decision, but that was rejected. They have been ordered to demolish the extension.
• The original planning permission stipulated that existing buildings on the property be torn down, but Beeny chose to renovate and extend instead.
• She has transformed the property into a stately home, complete with two libraries, a vineyard, a boathouse and a greenhouse.
