Elizabeth Hurley’s new show, The Inheritance, features a stately home in Dorset to lounge around in, but it’s not too dissimilar from the actress’ very own £6 million mansion in Herefordshire! Elizabeth acquired Donnington Hall in 2012 with her former partner, the late Shane Warne, and remained living there after the pair split the following year. Elizabeth and Shane’s son, Damian, has his own flat in London’s Chelsea, however, the actress told HELLO! that he does enjoy coming back to see her in the countryside. Elizabeth has spent this summer snuggling up to her boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus, at her home, where she’s had a “whirlwind” time.
From her very own decadent bar through to her royal-worthy garden, take a look around Elizabeth’s property…
The 187-acre estate is likely to require a team of employees; however, the mum-of-one isn’t afraid of getting her hands dirty in the garden. In fact, she told HELLO! that it’s where she spends most of her time. “I spend all day outside wrestling my garden into submission,” she confessed. Adding: “I have a tool shed for which only I have a key, full of my ‘lady tools’. My favourite is a mini leaf blower which Joan Collins and her husband gave me. I use it every day.”
The actress even tried BBQ-ing in her garden
BBQ heaven
During a balmy summer day, Elizabeth even tried her hand at the barbecue, posing next to her culinary delights. This snap also revealed that her beautiful lawns are immaculately manicured and her hedges are pruned perfectly. The setting really is reminiscent of a royal garden.
The garden is perfect for relaxing days in the sunshine
Lounging around
When sunbathing, the model showed off her wooden sun loungers and bright parasol. She also has a useful patio area with wicker tub chairs and outdoor lamps. The exterior of the property is covered in vibrant green foliage and looks like something from a postcard – how dreamy!
The star has her very own lake
On-site lake
Within the many acres of land that the model owns, she has her very own fishing lake – which provides a picture-perfect scene for her glorious Instagram snaps! One day, the model donned one of her signature bikinis and posed up a storm next to this stunning feature. You wouldn’t believe she’s only steps from her home.
Inside, the vast abode boasts 13 bedrooms and five bathrooms, and fans have been treated to various looks inside the walls via Elizabeth’s Instagram feed over the years. Her cosy lounge features a roaring real fire with stone surround, a leopard print rug and a golden console table brimming with accessories. More is more when it comes to home décor in Elizabeth’s book.
The property has incredible views across the grounds
Stylish dining room
Shared via Instagram, Elizabeth showcased a room on the ground floor of her home, which could be where she dines, and the space offers up dreamy views of her greenery outside, through the Georgian windows. This room has had the model’s injection of personality with a sunburst mirror and a patterned chair brightening up the area.
Elizabeth used her royal-worthy staircase as a backdrop for a photoshoot
Grand staircase
The star has a wide wooden staircase that screams stately home. As well as providing a grand entrance to the upper floors, it’s the ideal place to pose in a jaw-dropping gown, naturally! Just imagine waltzing down for breakfast each day down these wow-factor stairs.
Elizabeth’s private bar is the perfect party room
Private bar
Elizabeth’s eccentric interiors continue into her at-home bar, featuring velvet-clad furniture and much more leopard print. She also has animal ornaments throughout such as a pink flamingo and gold elephant, adding further fun to the room. Elizabeth uses this space for entertaining frequently and we can imagine she throws one hell of a party.
The residence has its own pool too
Outdoor swimming pool
Another day, another bikini – and this time Elizabeth flaunted her incredible figure by her swimming pool. Here we can see the outdoor feature is lined with patio and grass and there is a lounger positioned nearby. The area is also sectioned off by a beautifully shaped hedge, providing suitable privacy.
