My belief is that we should be fixing the drive and taking that risk element away, but that's a negotiation I’ve got to have – I think that's the way for me to pay back the most money.' The story behind the Grand Designs lighthouseĬompletion of Edward's lighthouse faced prolonged delays, in many ways mirroring the well-documented early struggles of the build in a 2019 episode of Channel 4's self-build series, Grand Designs, presented by Kevin McCloud. 'We built a brand new driveway down to the new house, but the original driveway that goes down the other way has become a problem. 'I've got to try and find a way to pay the lender back as much as possible,' said Edward, who admitted that the new price is now 'very good', adding, 'It was for sale all year and didn’t sell, but I’d be surprised if it didn’t sell at that price.'Įdward revealed the previous sale fell through because the old driveway built in the 1960s had become a 'concern' for the potential buyer. There have been further developments in 2024, with the property being relisted once again at the end of January, this time listed via Savills on behalf of Joint Receivers, with a lower knockdown price of £5.25 million. The guide price changed again in autumn 2023, with Chesil Cliff House being marketed for £1 million less at £6.5 million. In spring 2023 it had been taken off the market amid discussions with a buyer, however, in June 2023 the property listing returned, relaunching with a new, lower price of £7.5 million and with the two properties being sold separately.
