Floor plans posted on the Epping Council website showed their blueprints also include a playroom for any future children, and the project is being designed by Essex-based company MP Architects.
The ground floor is set to give a nod to both their love of work and play, with a gym and bar placed either side of the huge kitchen.
Meanwhile, the first floor will boast a balcony extending from the master bedroom, complete with a dressing room and make-up room.

All five bedroom feature an en-suite, while cupboards are littered through the floor and a vast drive will accommodate a plethora of cars.
Their planning agent previously said: ‘This new house has been carefully designed so that it is similar in area and volume to what is currently on the site.
‘The new house will sit further back on the site and will create a much more functional family dwelling for our clients.
‘The existing house has been extended several times and is not functional, therefore a new house would be a better use of the site.’
