Calvin has knocked down the Cotswolds mansion and has rebuilt it over five years, with it now nearing total completion.
But he recently discovered that a bus route goes past his home, which allows people onboard the bus to see in.
Because of this, the iconic DJ has had to take a drastic measure.
Calvin has had to install one way glass to preserve his privacy and keep his family life out of the public eye.
The reflective glass allows him to see out, but no-one to see in.
The Daily Mail reports that the new glass was visible this week as scaffolding was removed from the newly-built abode.
He has also reportedly bought two neighbouring homes, as per reports.
Calvin and Radio 1 presenter Vick Hope are due to move into the newly-built and adapted home later this summer.
Architect Ben Pentreath, a favourite of the royals, designed the property which will be completed this year.
A source previously told the paper: "There's no expense spared and it's going to be amazing."
Pregnant Vick Hope parties at BBC Radio One's Big Weekend after going on maternity leave
The happy couple, who tied the knot on their Ibiza farm in 2023, will become parents later this year, it was recently revealed.
And the couple's new home, which Calvin purchased in 2019, looks to be the ideal family home.
At the end of May, Vick shared the news of her pregnancy live on Radio 1.
On air, she told Jamie Laing: "I should probably also say this is my final week before I go on maternity leave."
Former Made In Chelsea star Jamie then told her: "You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum,."
She replied: "Oh, thank you."
Vick appeared to celebrate her baby shower a couple of weeks ago as she shared a picture playing a baby shower game - during a meal with friends.
Calvin and Vick made their first official outing together at The Chelsea Flower Show in May 2022.
After just five months together, a huge sparkler was spotted on Vick's finger.
They then got married in September 2023 at Hulne Priory, Alnwick, Northumberland.

Mr Tinder FINALLY finds love: Dating app's 'most swiped man' with 48,000 likes and who once dated Vanessa Feltz is left smitten with a finance manager he met in a Soho bar
Tinder 's 'most swiped man' who once dated Vanessa Feltz and racked up 48,000 likes on the dating app says he has been left smitten with a woman he met offline. Stefan-Pierre Tomlin, 34, downloaded Tinder in June 2015 after 'struggling to find love' but he quickly became addicted and was averaging over three hours each day trawling for potential matches. It led to him earning the title 'Mr Tinder' in 2017 when it was revealed that 14,600 users had swiped right - signalling their interest - for him, which was more than anyone else on the platform. But despite the hordes of potential suitors on the app, the trained pilot and male model said he 'never found love' on subsequent dates stemming from swipes. He did settle down briefly with NHS nurse Leanne Noakes in 2023 before having 'four or five' dates with Ms Feltz last year - but any romances were short lived and 'never worked out'. That is until now, as Mr Tomlin revealed he is 'love-struck' after a night-out to a bar in Soho, London, led him to find his very own 'Ms Right' in finance manager, Vicky Batsford, 43, who he says took his 'breath away'. He says their meeting was at first 'unexpected' but nine months on the pair have become official and are 'smitten' to the point they are considering moving in with each other and potentially tying the knot. Mr Tomlin, from Greenwhich, who owns his own match-making company, said he 'swiped right on her in real life'. 'She stole my attention straight away and everything was easy and natural with her,' he continued. 'At one point, I was getting 40 matches a day on Tinder and had to mute the app. Since then, online dating has never really worked for me. Meeting Vicky, I knew things would be different. 'She's organised, humble, and saw me beyond the Mr Tinder facade. She's the perfect woman for me and I'm completely off-limits now.' Mr Tomlin told how he had been on a 'spontaneous night out' with friends when he first bumped into Vicky in October 2024. 'She was wearing a fitted black dress and looked super fun,' he said. 'We made eye contact and both smiled while crossing paths. 'I knew I had to talk to her and we exchanged numbers that night. We quickly became friends and things lifted off from there.' Mr Tomlin said that Ms Batsford had 'no idea' he was 'Mr Tinder' when they first met, and that it was only later that week she became aware and was quite 'intimidated'. 'At first, it was a massive eye roll,' the 43-year-old from Essex said. 'But I didn't think anything of it at first, as we were just friends. I did ask if he was a s**g, which we laughed about. 'But after a few more drinks over the following weeks, we chatted more and I found him incredibly interesting. He soon swooned me over.' Mr Tomlin had used Tinder to go on over 15 dates, four of which resulted in relationships during his nine-year spell. But he 'struggled' to meet 'the one' especially after he 'shot to fame' in 2017 saying that it led to 'inauthentic interactions'. 'My success with dating apps plummeted after I became Mr Tinder,' he said. 'It's just become a game where people 'swipe on me' just because of who I am. 'So finding love the old-fashioned way was what I heavily relied on and I'm chuffed to say it has worked. It was probably in my favour that Vicky perhaps didn't know who I was off the bat.' Although Ms Batsford admitted there were 'clear differences' in who they are, she says she 'couldn't be happier' to call Mr Tomlin her boyfriend. 'We come from very different worlds,' she said. 'I'm way more structured and disciplined - and he's a lot more spontaneous. 'But I think that creates a good balance and a reason why we work so well together. We're super happy.' Earlier this month the pair made their relationship official and say they are now planning to move in with each other. Mr Tomlin says 'marriage is definitely in the future' with Vicky because she 'truly feels like the real deal'. He added: 'In the past, I've dated models, nurses, and idiots. However, things are different now with my new partner and we live a stable life. It's something I've never had before.' Mr Tomlin established online match-making site, Celebrity Love Coach, in 2021 and has since set up 52 couples. 'I found my love and I've always wanted to help others find theirs,' he said. 'The dating world is always changing and it's easy to lose hope.

'It's like an episode of the Vicar of Dibley': King Charles is 'called in' to settle an unholy row between a priest and choirmaster at Sandringham
A simmering row at a Sandringham church hit such a discordant note that King Charles himself was reportedly asked to mediate. A bitter feud between the vicar and choirmaster erupted over the future direction of the choir at St Mary Magdalene Church – the same site where the Royal Family traditionally attends Christmas service. The clash left the choir in tatters, with dwindling attendance, furious parishioners, and the Bishop of Norwich's inbox overflowing with complaints. At the heart of the dispute is Rev Canon Paul Williams, the King's Domestic Chaplain, who took up his post on 2023 after moving from Tewkesbury Abbey. He is said to be keen on modernising the centuries-old choir, including launching a social media presence to promote its work. But his plans appear to have struck a chord with Dr Claire Stewart, the long-serving and much-admired Director of Music, who hit back with a 28-page grievance report in response to a review of her role. Sources say the once-harmonious church has been plunged into an 'unholy row', with some likening the ongoing drama to an episode of The Vicar of Dibley. King Charles, who regularly worships at the 16th-century church, is understood to have been made fully aware of the dispute. Dr Claire Stewart has served as choirmaster for 12 years and is described by parishioners as 'hugely adored' and under immense pressure as the rift deepens Insiders say he lingered after a recent service to speak personally with concerned members of the congregation. 'It's turning into an unholy row and it's starting to get very bitter and damaging,' a source told The Sun. 'It is overshadowing what should be a harmonious parish church on the King's royal estate and heads need to be banged together.' Dr Stewart has served as choirmaster for 12 years and is described by parishioners as 'hugely adored' and under immense pressure as the rift deepens. In an attempt to calm the waters, local councillor Lord Greville Howard, Baron Greville of Rising, convened a private meeting earlier this month with church leaders in a bid to broker peace. But tensions remain high, and choir numbers at Sunday services and rehearsals have noticeably thinned amid the ongoing turmoil. MailOnline has approached the Palace for comment.
