They recently confirmed they have moved their family temporarily to Australia.

But back in the UK, Ronan Keating and his wife Storm live in a stunning £5million mansion just outside of London, that they spent five years transforming into their ‘dream home’.

The Irish singer, 47, and his TV producer wife, 43, bought the countryside property back in 2016 and have spent the last few years transforming the traditional house into a modern zero carbon home.

While they regularly keeps her Instagram followers updated on their family life, but they also have their own home interiors Instagram account named The Keating House, where they previously documented the renovations. 

And there have been plenty of glimpses inside their lavish home over the years, with it shown to have a very modern and elegantly decorated interior.

The house appears to have an open plan kitchen and living area, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows letting in lots of natural light.

Storm has shared a number of snaps of the family enjoying meals at a stunning white marble breakfast bar and hanging gold ceiling lights.

While the sprawling living room boasts a huge stone coffee table, white sectional and an expensive-looking wood-panelled fireplace.

The area opens out onto the huge garden and with a famous musician in the house, a spectacular Yamaha grand piano sits pride of place by the window.

The property’s enormous garden is by far one its most impressive features, boasting a long swimming pool, where the Keating clan have enjoyed many sunny days.

But Ronan and Storm also enjoy their own tennis court and a huge patio, complete with an outdoor dining area and kitchen – perfect for a family barbecue.

There are idyllic views of the open countryside as well as a large seating area with its very own firepit that looks straight out of the Love Island villa.

Ronan and Storm shared a pH๏τo of the house when they first purchased it, writing: ‘May 2016 when we turned the key to our new family home just outside London. And so the story begins…’

Explaining how they came to choose the property, they explained: ‘We hunted for months for the perfect home for our family… somewhere far enough away from London so we could feel removed from the hustle and bustle… but still close enough that we could drive in and out daily for work and events etc.

‘We wanted land and fresh air and privacy, but we also needed to be somewhere fairly close to an airport given the amount of time we spend travelling. 

‘There was some serious criteria to meet (!) but the moment we drove down this driveway, we knew this was it. This was the place we were going to one day call home’.

They later revealed that after 18 months they finally received planning approval to knock down and rebuild their sustainable new home.

Explaining their plans, Ronan told fans: ‘As time pᴀssed and our imaginations and research expanded, our dream home evolved into a completely zero carbon home which harvests its own rainwater and waste also.

‘Our entire site with swimming pool and tennis court will also be run via solar panels and air source heat pumps, making their energy output neutral also (!) We are so proud and excited. 

‘We have also managed to connect with some the most beautiful, sustainable brands for the fit out too and we truly can’t wait to share these with you all.’

The family bought the property seven years ago but it wasn’t until Christmas 2021 that they were finally able to move in.

They decided to knock down the original property and built a brand new dream home after being told that the plumbing and electrical would need replacing, and that the structure was shoddy.

The property's enormous garden is by far one its most impressive features, boasting a long swimming pool, where the Keating clan have enjoyed many sunny days

After problems with their original builders the groundworks finally began in January 2019 and took a further two years to complete.

Ronan said the property which has solar panels and air source heat pumps is a ‘completely zero carbon home’.

It boasts an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, gym, open-plan kitchen and living area with a huge marble breakfast bar and outdoor dining area.

But it was lacking the finishing touches as there was nowhere to keep their cars.

The family applied for planning permission to add the car port comprising four painted steel columns with evergreen climbing plants to help it blend into the landscape, and sandstone rain screen cladding.

Ronan was previously granted planning permission for an underground pool house and studio, and a new entrance wall and gates.

His planning agent said: ‘Given the applicant’s main source of income is derived from music and hosting his breakfast radio show on Magic FM, the need for a studio space is undeniable.’

The parish council objected to his original plans for an ‘imposing and ostentatious’ block solid gate, saying they were ‘out of keeping’ with the area.

Ronan and Storm shared a pH๏τo of the house when they first purchased it, writing: 'May 2016 when we turned the key to our new family home just outside London. And so the story begins¿'

He then submitted revised plans for a more traditional country-style open-slatted timber gate, flanked by a lower flint wall.

However, last year the Boyzone star said that he and Storm have moved to Sydney with their kids Cooper, seven, and Coco, five.

He told 9News: ‘We are in Sydney mainly and we will be here until next year. We have re-evaluated life a little bit and the plan is to spend more time here in Australia and near family, we love being here.’

Storm hails from Australia and grew up on a cattle station in Far North Queensland before moving to Los Angeles where she interned at HBO.

The couple – who tied the knot in 2015 – explained they wanted to give their children an ‘Aussie lifestyle’.

Ronan also shares three more adult children – Jack, 25, Missy, 23, and Ali, 18 – with his ex-wife Yvonne Connolly, who he was married to for 12 years.

Having already been uncle to a number of nieces and nephews from his siblings, he also became a grandfather in 2023, when eldest son Jack welcomed a daughter with artist Keely Iqbal.
