Celebrity house tours used to be a bit of a numbe-watch. Big gates, bigger sofas, and a camera gliding past rooms that felt like nobody had ever sat down in. These days, the best tours land differently.
Now it’s the small stuff that sticks. A boot room that admits Britain is wet or a kitchen that looks like someone actually makes toast, not “content”. A sofa with a slightly scruffy throw that clearly wasn’t arranged by an assistant five minutes before filming.
And that’s why Celebrity house tours keep pulling people in. They’re not really about property. They’re about personality, and what people choose to live with when they don’t have to impress anyone.
Before we get into the homes, here’s a simple snapshot of the eight tours and “peeks” below. It helps because after the third gorgeous hallway, your brain starts mixing them up.

| Mark Wright & Michelle Keegan | New-build glamour | Feature staircase, Essex showpiece | HELLO! — April 2023 |
Michelle Dockery: The Grange-Style London Townhouse
This is one of those house tours where you can tell the home has been properly thought through, but it still feels like a home. Architectural Digest’s Open Door episode shows Dockery’s London place as a blend of city living and English country warmth, down to the dedicated boot room and the grange-style kitchen.
The colour choices are what make it. It’s calm, then you catch a jolt of red. Not in a loud way. More like: a lamp here, a chair there. AD’s write-up even quotes Dockery talking about reading “unexpected red theory” and using red to brighten a space.
It’s a very British kind of confidence. This confidence comes from not trying too hard and just getting the details right.
Sienna Miller: The 16th-Century Buckinghamshire Cottage
Sienna Miller’s cottage is the tour people send to friends with the message: “This is the dream.” It’s a 16th-century thatched-roof place in Buckinghamshire, and Architectural Digest describes her reaction to buying it as a kind of escape, a sanctuary, and somewhere for people to gather.
What makes it work isn’t perfection. It’s the opposite. The charm sits in age, texture, and the feeling that the house has lived a life before Instagram existed.
If you want the most up-to-date angle, in late 2025, AD reported she listed the cottage for about £1.95 million and revisited the story and details again in that context.
So yes, it’s beautiful. But it’s also a reminder that “cosy” is a design decision, not an accident.
Harris Reed: A London Flat Turned Full Fantasy
Harris Reed doesn’t decorate in half measures. Architectural Digest’s gallery on his London apartment describes a 750-square-foot space transformed into something extravagant and intensely personal, shared with his husband, Eitan Senerman.
Even if maximalism isn’t your thing, this tour is useful because it shows what commitment looks like. When people try bold patterns and then chicken out, rooms feel confused. Reed goes the other way. He commits, and the home looks like it knows what it is.
It’s a proper example of style matching identity, not trend.
David and Victoria Beckham: The Holland Park Standard of Luxury
The Beckhams’ London townhouse gets talked about like it’s a brand in itself. HELLO! has described it as worth an estimated £31 million, with features including six bedrooms, an indoor pool, a wine cellar, and a gym.
The interesting part isn’t that it’s expensive. Everyone expects that. It’s how controlled it looks. It has that “hotel but make it family” feel, and it’s clearly designed to stay sleek even when life’s happening inside it.
This is the version of luxury that’s meant to feel effortless. It probably isn’t. But it’s meant to.
Florence Pugh: A Kitchen That Feels Like Real Life
Florence Pugh’s “house tour” footprint is more pieced together from cooking clips and home snippets than a formal, glossy walk-through, and honestly, that makes it better. You get real surfaces. Real lighting. Real “this is where I stand and chop garlic” energy.
Vogue’s video of her cooking garlic crostini is a good example of why people find her so watchable. It’s relaxed, practical, and not overly staged.
And little press bits latch onto that same vibe. Apartment Therapy, for instance, has pulled specific details from her kitchen setup and what’s sitting out in the space.
This is why Celebrity house tours are changing. Viewers don’t just want fantasy. They want proof somebody lives there.
Pearl Lowe: The Somerset House That Feels Collected, Not Bought
Pearl Lowe’s home is the opposite of minimal. It’s layered, romantic, a bit rock-and-roll, and very British in its love of old things with stories.
House & Garden profiled her Georgian home in Frome, Somerset, describing it as an 11-bedroom house she first saw back in 2010, with Lowe speaking about it with full “love story” energy.
More recently, there’s also been renewed attention around the contents of her Somerset home being auctioned, which says a lot about how recognisable her aesthetic is. If you like the idea of a home that feels like a life, not a catalogue, this is the one.
Ed Sheeran: “Sheeran-ville” and the Backyard Pub
Ed Sheeran’s setup is famous for being more than one house. It’s a private cluster that’s become known as “Sheeranville” in media coverage, and the headline detail people love is the pub.
People magazine reported Sheeran discussing how he recreated the feeling of a favourite teenage hangout by building a pub space at home called “Lancaster Lock”, plus details like buying an old pub counter and creating a hangout vibe for friends and family.
For a more specific planning angle, The Drinks Business has also described the private pub project in the context of permissions, including references to underground rooms and a passage linking spaces.
It’s over the top, sure. But it’s also oddly relatable in motive: privacy, nostalgia, and a place to breathe.
Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan: The Essex Mega-Mansion Build
This one sits in a very modern British lane: a custom build with clean lines, big lifestyle spaces, and a long “watch it grow” story for fans.
HELLO! has repeatedly covered features of their £3.5m home, including standout structural details like the staircase. Yahoo UK has also reported on the timeline and the scale of the project, including the reported purchase price and the long renovation arc.
This tour appeals to a different itch than the cottage crowd. It’s for people who like new-build glamour, big terraces, and that “everything has its place” calm.
Why People Keep Watching
Here’s the funny part. The homes that linger aren’t always the biggest or the most expensive. They’re the ones that give you a clear sense of the person, even through a camera lens.
Dockery’s boot room. Miller’s lived-in history. Reed’s fearless commitment. Pugh’s kitchen energy. Lowe’s collected layers. Sheeran is building a private world. The Beckhams are keeping the polish tight. Wright and Keegan are turning a build into a storyline.
Anyway, next time a celebrity walks you through a perfect hallway, look for the one unplanned corner. The place where the house stops performing for the camera. That’s usually where the truth is hiding, isn’t it?
