Her new home is a stunning five bedroom Victorian villa in a quieter and more secluded part of Cornwall, off the tourist track.
It is set within three acres which include a Victorian glass house, potting shed, two paddocks and a fruit and vegetable allotment.
As well as the main house, the property has an annex with its own bedroom, kitchen, living room and shower room.
