He later removed his coat as he and a female friend swept the leaves outside the swanky new home.
The double fronted house boasted original features and is situated in a quaint village, perfect to raise a family.
Later taking to her social media, Maeva shared a clip as the final touches were put to her brand new living room.
Maeva and James announced the fiery French beauty was pregnant in May.
She told Hello! magazine at the time: ‘All my dreams are coming true at the same time. I still don’t believe it! It’s all amazing – I just want to enjoy it all as much as I can.’

James said: ‘We are more excited every day. My dad told me that when he had his first child he never thought he could love something so much.
‘And I’m starting to get an inkling of that feeling as this baby growing in Maeva’s tummy is pretty special.’
The couple announced they were expecting a baby boy during a gender reveal on the Made In Chelsea Mallorca summer spin-off in August.
The couple, who have been together for three years, got engaged in April while visiting the Trevi Fountain in Rome.
Maeva recalled throwing a coin into the Italian landmark as befits tradition, and making a wish that James would propose.
She told the publication: ‘I did my wish which was, “I really hope James is going to propose to me soon”.

‘And then I opened my eyes and he was there on one knee. I was thinking, “Wow, this is it! Is this real?” It was everything I had ever wanted.’
James proposed with a 2.5-carat pear-shaped diamond engagement ring which he designed – and had already asked Maeva’s father for permission to marry her last year.
The engagement may have come as a surprise to some Made In Chelsea viewers after James admitted to kissing another girl behind Maeva’s back on the show earlier this year, in what he described as a ‘drunken night’ at a London club.
James’ romantic gesture also came weeks after he rejected Maeva when she got down on one knee in scenes filmed for the E4 series.
The reality star confessed to drunkenly kissing another woman behind Maeva’s back, saying he ‘hated’ himself for betraying her.

James said: ‘I disrespected our relationship that night, I disrespected you, I threw everything away for a drunken night and I hate myself for it.’
Hysterically crying at the revelation, Maeva sobbed: ‘You were the man, you were the dad of my kids, I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life.’
James told Maeva ‘I’ve got a f***ing ring’ before the dramatic scene ended with viewers believing the couple had gone their separate ways.
A source subsequently told MailOnline that Maeva forgave James for the infidelity, and they decided to put the past behind them.
James said: ‘It feels like I have everything I have ever wanted – it’s that secure feeling that this is my woman, forever.’
Maeva added: ‘I feel protected – being engaged to the man of my dreams is amazing. It’s a different love, it’s stronger, it’s deeper. I feel safe.’
