TV personality and interior design expert is gearing up to give viewers an intimate look into his family life in a new reality TV series set in his own manor house.
The 59 year old, along with his wife Jackie, also 59, has been living in their six-bedroom for more than ten years. The property was previously showcased in the 2007 series To the Manor Bowen.
Since the show, the manor has undergone several changes and now accommodates two more generations of the Llewelyn-Bowen clan. Their daughters Cecile, 28, and Hermione, 25, have moved in with their respective husbands Dan and Drew, as well as four grandchildren aged between six months and seven years.
Laurence, renowned for his stint on , has suggested that despite sharing the home, each couple has their “own space” in the vast rural estate, revealing that the house has been “split” to allow for “complete autonomy” for each family unit.
While fans eagerly anticipate the new reality series, various social media posts from Laurence offer a sneak peek into the manor’s interior and exterior, including a recent post showcasing the grand front garden and the house’s impressive windows after Laurence returned from a trip in 2022.

Fans of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen have been treated to glimpses inside his lavishly decorated home, as the design guru has shared snippets of his interior on social media. The shares include enticing images of a dining area that effortlessly merges into a magical section of the garden.
This particular room boasts a striking round table large enough for numerous guests, set against a diverse backdrop featuring bold wallpaper and carefully chosen artwork. A standout feature is the vibrant blue cabinet, while other adornments such as statues, flowers, and lighting choices contribute to the unique ambiance.
Elsewhere in Laurence’s home, design enthusiasts will spot a harmonious blend of patterns generously spread across furniture and walls, particularly noticeable in a corner adjacent to the aforementioned dining space.

Providing further insights, Laurence once revealed another dining space within his home, specifically adorned in Christmas decorations. Followers were shown visuals of a grandly set table strategically placed near a traditional fireplace and book-filled shelves.
Upon venturing into the lush outdoors, visitors are met with a quaint swing set amidst a verdant array of plants and a stunning pond. The designer playfully remarked on his garden’s verdure, quipping: “The thing about my garden is you’ve gotta like green.”
For outdoor dining enthusiasts, there’s a terrace wrapped in the arms of nature, complete with a large table and chairs for social gatherings. Laurence fondly recalled summer days spent enjoying meals in this picturesque spot.
Laurence divulged details of his unique home life on the My Dirty Laundry podcast earlier this year, saying: “We’re looking at doing all sorts of work to basically reconfigure the way that we live so the three households [each] have our own space in what can only be described as a little manor house on the prairie.”
He further commented: “I think its something that I think more and more people should be doing.”

On the same podcast episode, Laurence also mentioned: “Now we’ve got our sort of big echoey manor house full of life and children and really irritating brightly coloured bits of plastic and Peppa Pig again.”
In a candid chat with the Times, Laurence divulged: “[Myself and Jackie] were rattling round our six-bedroom manor house like dried peas in a luxury tin, so why not consolidate into a homestead? A hundred and fifty years ago, no one left home – and it very much works for us. We’ve split it so we have separate quarters and complete autonomy.”
He also revealed during the interview that Hermione lives “next door” while Cecile has made her home in a “converted garage block” on the estate.
