Billie Shepherd shares update on £1.4million mansion after rows with neighbours
Billie Shepherd has given fans an update on her £1.4million home as she and husband Greg move in after two years of renovation works and disputes with neighbours.
Billie, 33, has given glimpses of the work that she and her husband have had done on the four bedroom 1920s home in Brentwood as she revealed it is "finally starting to feel complete".
The renovations work hasn't been without some hiccups for ITV2's The Mummy Diaries star, as disputes with neighbours have been ongoing since they purchased in January 2021.
Mum-of-three Billie shared an update on her new family home to her Instagram as she showed off how the exterior of the home has changed in two years.
Showing off the fresh white exterior and immaculate driveway, Billie shared a short video with her 2.6million followers.

"It has made the biggest difference!! It’s completely seamless and easy to maintain @vubaresinproducts are a manufacturer and supplier of resin bound products and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided."
While the work to their Brentwood home is impressive, it's not what Billie and Greg had originally planned.
The couple had hoped to create a five-bed home with a two-storey extension, gym, games room and huge walk-in wardrobe.
However their proposals were refused planning permission after objections from neighbours who branded the renovations as "excessive" and not in line with other homes nearby.
However amended plans were subsequently approved and their new home includes a swimming pool, jacuzzi and fire pit.
The renovations work has caused tensions with neighbours with Billie reportedly 'at war' with nearby residents after her initial plans to knock down the property and rebuild a five bedroom home were rejected.
At the time, Billie said: "We've not seen anyone. But it's just not a great start, is it? The house is so old, whoever was going to buy it was going to have to renovate.
"There's only one neighbour to the side of us and he had a lot of reasons as to why he didn't want us to go ahead, but it was getting a bit silly in the end.
"It's been a very long journey already and it's about to get even more pressurised once the builders start work."
