British movie royalty Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are in deep water with their local council after they started building a huge 'swimming' lake on their country estate without permission.

The Hollywood director and her actor husband - tipped to be the next James Bond - bought Great House Farm in the Somerset village of Leigh-on-Mendip for £1.85m in 2010.

The luxury five-bed stone property, once owned by Grand Designs presenter Kevin McCleod, was built in the 16th century and is Grade II listed.
