EastEnders Kacey Ainsworth has showed off her incredible home
The star is the proud owner of an eco home
Kacey played Little Mo for six years on EastEnders
Kacey, 54, moved into the property in 2008 and wanted to make her “forever home” sustainable and energy efficient.
Over the years the soap star has done just that.
Sharing a snap of her stunning home, Kacey said: “15 years ago today we moved into our eco house.
“I had done huge amounts of research into building a sustainable energy efficient forever home.
“I didn’t have huge amounts of money so tenacity was required ..Some folk thought I was mad.
“We could have thrown up a traditional house and there were problems, a leaky roof and our solar panels are now obsolete.”
“BUT our house is still working as per the plan. No fancy gadgets. The basics. Great Insulation, energy efficient heating, triple argon filled glazing and MHRS ventilation .. furnished with vintage finds.”
She also shared her future plans in the post, focusing more on the land outside of the house.
Kacey continued: “I had no money for landscaping – still not done that !!
“There was more I could have done (rainwater recycling, more panels etc) but this was all I could afford at the time.
“Thank you to the McGills for lending us your house with my newborn son (lifesavers) during the build and to all my neighbours for their support and putting up with the disruptions and @baufritz_uk for helping me realise my dreams.”
Kacey lives with her partner Darren Hales and their two kids Elwood and Blossom.
It comes after the star looked very different to her former alter-ego on a recent skiing holiday.
Kacey now rocks bright blonde hair after her character opted for dark locks.
Back in December she shared a series of snaps from her family trip.
She told her followers: “We are here in France celebrating my children’s French heritage and for the World Cup Final. This red sky heralds the arrival of my beautiful daughter, Blossom.”
