Fans of After Life will have become accustomed to seeing Ricky Gervais in a homely setting. But the comedian's real-life home is a tad grander.
The £10.8 million property that the 62-year-old owns with his partner and Just Got Real author Jane Fallon is quite the spectacle with its mahogany staircase and personal tennis court, not to mention the eight bedrooms the residence boasts and the summer house.
The pair moved into the impressive home after putting their Hampstead Heath pad on the market in 2015 and it is just one purchase in their portfolio. Ricky also owns a £2.75 million riverside house in Marlow, Buckinghamshire that he has called a "little country retreat".
Ricky and Jane have been known to let their combined following of over 3.8 million people into their home with the occasional Instagram snap. Here are a few of our favourites.

Jane's writing desk
Having a desk that you can feel creative at is key for a writer like Jane. Though you may imagine an author's desk to be covered in post-it notes and cups of tea, Jane has gone for a more minimalist feel with a mahogany storage facility on her desk that is near enough bare. The room has plenty of access to natural light to offset the deep wood.
A minimalist interior
The minimal feel has been carried through to other spaces in the house. The David Brent-playing star's partner has revealed an upstairs room in their house where their cat can laze of an afternoon. The space features floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry in an off-white wood for a rustic feel and a patterned jute rug in cream and tan.
