This has included everything from stunning marble bathrooms, a jungle-themed space for their little boy and an outside kitchen reminiscent of the al fresco foodie space Love Island villa.
The duo featured on the show's 2016 series, finishing as runners up.
Alex, 32, popped the question a year later, with the pair saying their I Do's in September 2018.
Now they have the perfect pad for their happy countryside home after selling up their £1.3m Essex property in 2023.

Olivia, 30, described their outdoor entertaining space as "a little Italian haven" as she captured the cream-coloured worktops and outdoor oven set under a wooden pergola.
Yet the cherry on top were the rustic blue, red and terracotta tiles as the splashback.
Olivia gushed how the duo had even sourced some items from Lake Como to complete the Mediterranean feel of the space.
With a pizza oven on order to complete the outdoor living area, it'll be ready for the reality TV pair to host their loved ones this summer.

"I knew I had to get these tiles in somewhere - they are just beautiful.
"I think I’m going to try & do some really high quality reels to show you some of the areas of the house, and also were planning to film something really exciting for each room that I’m hoping will give you a good insight."
Meanwhile, little Abel hasn't missed out on his own stunning surroundings either.
His room features stunning jungle artwork spanning the length of one wall while exposed beams on the ceiling and windows keep a classic feel.
There's a nude coloured carpet and tan starfish-print rugs, complete with cuddly toys scattered around.
White storage cabinets and bookcases give enough space for toys while a blue big boy bed will be a snug space for sweet dreams.
Olivia told fans: "This room is definitely the most completed out of the whole house!
"I have made it my mission to get his as near complete as possible so he has it all ready to get acquainted with & feel as comfortable and at home as he can somewhere new!"
PROJECT MANAGER
Olivia got into interior design in a big way after her time on Love Island.
She recently told us: "We've designed a little kitchen barbecue area, getting a pizza oven, and we'll have seating. So the love island is still creeping in."
"I've become a lot more confident in my style and my design process, and I think that that's just helped with this house.
"It will show because my style is very different to the old one. It will look very different and I think people are not going to expect what it's going to look like."
She added: "The last house was very modern, a lot of like clean lines. A lot of sort of beige, minimalist kind of thing, but this house is very different.

"There's a lot of colour, a lot of pattern. It's just very country.
"We have a lot of beams and things, so yeah, it's kind of completely different."
