A STUNNING zig-zag house featured on Grand Designs has been listed for sale five years after appearing on the show. Stunning property Abbey Orchard House in Hertfordshire took 10 years to create.

IT was dubbed Britain’s most disastrous Grand Design, but the owner of the ‘nightmare’ lighthouse project has revealed he's now been inundated with interest - including from top celebrities. Edward Short lost his marriage and ended up £4million in debt while building Chesil Cliff House and its annex, known as The Eye, in North Devon. But after 12 years of blood, sweat and tears it has gone on the market for £10million - and One Direction star Harry Styles has apparently been sizing it up.

Grand Designs has returned to the lighthouse once dubbed 'saddest ever house' after it underwent a dramatic makeover.

IT’S the Grand Designs property which has faced setback after setback.  Edward Short and his then-wife Hazel purchased the Lighthouse in Devon over a decade ago and have battled with its renovations - and their own marital problems - ever since.  The stunning Chessil Cliff House in Croyde, Devon has seen Edward pump millions into trying to make it the perfect home - which he and his ex dubbed the ‘Lighthouse’. The cliffside property first appeared on Kevin McCloud-fronted Grand Designs on Channel 4 in 2019 where viewers called it the ‘saddest property ever’.

GRAND Designs revisited the infamous lighthouse renovations on tonight’s episode – with fans all saying the same thing as Kevin McCloud caught up with Edward and Hazel.  Over the course of more than a decade, millions were pumped into turning Chessil Cliff House into Edward’s dream home.  But the Croyde, Devon property came at an even bigger cost – Edward and Hazel’s marriage.  The hope to spend £2.5million came and went within years, with the couple plunging themselves into financial ruin to make the transformation come to life. The eventual price came to more than £5million.  On top of that, they even knocked their own house down in order to invest more money into the fantasy.  When the show visited the house in 2019, it was dubbed the saddest episode ever as things turned even more bleak for the house, which still wasn’t completed and was referred to as being close to “complete coastal ruin”, with McCloud comparing it to looking like a “car park”.
