Mark Wright visits construction site as he prepares to build million-pound dream home with Michelle Keegan
MARK Wright visited the building site as he prepares to make his million-pound dream home with wife Michelle Keegan.
The ex Towie star purchased the £1.3million Essex mansion in October last year before demolishing it in July.
However, Mark and Michelle, both 33, submitted plans in February to knock down the Essex farmhouse and replace it with a vast Georgian-style home.
New pics show the reality star dressed in a hi-vis vest, black T-Shirt and blue skinny jeans as he inspects the site.
He can be seen walking through the building site, with his dad Mark Wright Snr – who is leading the build – showing him what needs to be built.
It appears like the foundations are laid and they are already beginning to lay bricks for the main bulk of the house.
Mark seemed satisfied with the progress and eventually left the home.
Golden couple Michelle and Mark recently submitted the plans for the sprawling pad which will boast a stunning landscaped garden with new trees planted behind an outdoor pool.
It will also feature a huge makeup room which joins up with an even bigger dressing room on the first floor.
Each of the property’s five bedrooms has its own en-suite, while three of them have dressing rooms.
The master bedroom has its own glass balcony so the couple can enjoy the countryside view.
Last year Mark left his dream job in the US to concentrate on his marriage to Michelle after two years of making a long distance romance work.
He has made no secret about thinking about starting a family and last year revealed that 2020 could be the time.
Speaking to The Sun Online at the end of last year, Mark teased: “We say we’re going to try [for a baby] every year but something comes up with work.
“So it’ll be Michelle filming in South Africa and then I got the job in Los Angeles – so we think, right, we’ll try next year.
“It’ll be around December or January, we’ll talk about it and we’ll go from there.”
He continued: “With kids, I used to want three or four. But now, I’m 31, we’re not having kids any time before 32.
“I think we could have two or three. Twins would be great because you’re getting two out of the way at once!

“Triplets would be even better! And if we have quadruplets we’d be laughing because we’d have them all in one go!”
Throughout lockdown, the couple have been giving their fans a glimpse of their current home on Instagram and during TV interviews.
