Grand Designs' episode targeted on Chesil Cliff House was memorable for all the incorrect causes and has been dubbed 'saddest house ever', now things have gotten worse.
In a 2019 episode of the Channel 4 present, we met Edward Brief, who shared his intention to rework his family's 1950s residence situated in North Finish, near Croyde on the North Devon coast into a lighthouse-style mansion.
The plan was to finish the renovation in 18 months and spend £1.8 million. As an alternative, when host Kevin McCloud met Edward he'd already been working on it for over a decade.
He ended up £7million in debt, and his 20-year marriage to his wife Hazel got here to an end.
He finally completed the property in 2022, and it was initially put on the market for £10million.
Within the newest blow to music business government and father-of-two Edward, the worth of the property has been slashed again.
The eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom, six-reception room property, has been listed with Savills for £5.25million.
It's described as 'one of the UK's most spectacularly situated coastal houses' stretching over 6,260 sq ft. The spectacular features embrace an infinity pool, scorching tub and in depth outside entertaining areas with a indifferent visitor lodge/holiday let with lodging extending to about 1,270 sq ft.
'The bespoke design has been delivered to life by way of spectacular engineering, with the building being anchored to the bedrock, mixing whitewashed elevations with steel and glass, culminating with a lighthouse function at one finish giving virtually 360-degree views of the coastline,' reads the house's profile.
'The place combines privacy with a various range of breath-taking views, all set in around three acres, which incorporates a large space of the foreshore, a personal tidal seashore area and coves.'
The eventual transformation exceeded even 64-year-old Kevin's expectations – whereas it once resembled an empty concrete shell, it turned a fascinating property that reportedly even sparked interest from Harry Styles. After getting a tour Kevin stated: 'All the things here is epic.'
The official Grand Designs X account, previously Twitter, wrote: 'In the face of overwhelming odds, Edward pushed his dream to the top – and achieved the close to unattainable.'
This assertion was somewhat totally different to his opinion a couple of years prior. Kevin informed viewers: 'If a lighthouse has a single message that it shouts out, it is this: "Stay away – or danger destruction"' and added it was 'a sad and cautionary tale about overreaching'.
Whereas it is lovely now, it took some time to get there with many points along the best way including a recession, and building points – hence viewers calling it the 'saddest ever' episode and residential they'd ever seen.
'The entire venture has been a horrendous pressure for Hazel, I have sunk our household purse into this and I really really feel for her. I never meant to place her by way of any of this,' Edward previously informed Devon Stay.
Locals have been additionally less than impressed with the unfinished house, main Edward to reassure them in 2020 that: 'I know it's a multitude, and I've to fix that – however when it is finished will probably be superb. Decide it when it's finished.'
As soon as it was finally accomplished, it was swiftly put available on the market so he might recoup prices, estimated to be around £6million.
