It is no wonder that Zara Tindall has opted to stay living on the Gatcombe Park Estate she grew up on.
Not only is her farmhouse, Aston Farm, the most idyllic place to raise her three children, but it also has its own "party barn" with an ultra-modern touch.

Elsewhere in the space, the mother of three has beautiful midnight blue cabinetry and industrial-style pendant lighting. The exposed brick walls maintain the farmhouse chic feel.

Zara and Mike's family home
The Tindalls don't live with Princess Anne in the main manor house but the 700-acre estate affords them plenty of room with enough privacy to raise their young family.

Their newly-wed home
The couple's home they shared in Cheltenham at the point of their engagement was poles apart from the Gatcombe Park estate.
The former Olympic equestrian and her rugby star beau formerly lived at Halsey House which went up for sale in went up for sale for £1.2 million in 2013. The four-storey house increased in value to £1.69 million by 2017.

"The current owners bought it from them and have gone on to improve it further by building a double garage which completes the package. The house is detached, which is pretty rare for townhouses in Cheltenham, and there are lots of great amenities close by. The basement could be used as a separate self-contained apartment, so it's a massively flexible property."
