CHANNEL 4 star Sarah Beeny is at war with her neighbours over her "intolerable" garden, it is claimed.

The property guru has sparked uproar in her community after building a lake outside her £3million home in Somerset.

Two parish councils objected to the landscaping project, while two of her neighbours described the feature as "intolerable".

They took issue with the fact that huge amounts of soil had been dug up and piled at the edge of a field, The Daily Mail reports.

Mum-of-four Beeny and her husband Graham Swift said it was to help quieten the noise of passing traffic.

But they failed to secure planning permission and locals have argued it has "changed the landscape for the worse".

Two neighbours claim the noise in their own backyards is now "intolerable".
