Shirlie Kemp totally transforms charming hideaway in blooming garden

Shirlie Kemp and her husband, Martin, are getting us in the mood for spring.

The couple, both successful popstars in the 1980s, live in a beautiful Victorian home they renovated entirely, and the garden is just as impressive.

The former Wham! star and the ex-Spandau Ballet bassist have abundant space outside and are fortunate to have many different corners and areas of their garden.

One part of Martin and Shirlie's sprawling garden, tucked away neatly from other areas, has been transformed completely into a charming hideaway.

Posting on her home renovation account, MaisonNumber9, Shirlie shared a photograph and a video with her followers of their vegetable growing area that is filled with raised beds, potted plants and growing shrubs.

In the centre of the area is a small patio where the couple have placed a white table and chair set underneath a square pergola.

The idyllic sitting area is perfectly centred in the middle of the vegetable boxes, meaning come spring, it'll be surrounded by greenery once the produce starts to grow.

There is also a pretty water feature and a wire fence behind the largest raised bed, likely to protect their crops from wildlife.

Shirlie's snap showed Martin hard at work in their garden while the video panned across the area in its entirety, showing how vast this hidden part of their garden is.

The raised beds are arranged alongside each other and others perpendicular,r creating a neat formation around the pergola.

Shirlie captioned the image: "In between downpours, the sun comes out, and a glimpse of spring appears."

Shirlie and Martin's incredible garden

The pergola in the vegetable garden is just one of the many stunning areas in their garden.

Another part of the outside that has been their pride and joy is their outhouse, which, as fans will now, has been dubbed 'Piglet'.

The building was once a pig shed, and while Martin was initially keen on tearing the unit down, Shirlie saw a golden opportunity and created extra living space outside.

They renovated it from the inside out, converted it into a shabby-chic, wood-clad studio space which leads out onto decking, complete with another pergola-style sitting area with a barbeque, firepit and rocking chairs.

The pergola is roofless but covered in flowers, making the area even more beautiful – perfect for summer gatherings.

Martin and Shirlie also have plenty of lawn space outside, tennis courts, and another larger dining area nestled away in a secret garden-esque corner.

The impressive outdoor area has taken "years" for them to transform, with Shirlie admitting that there's still more to be done before it becomes her dream vision.
