An infamous Grand Designs property has been given another lease on life, with an Essex couple spending £150,000 to transform it.
An infamous Grand Designs project has now received a new lease on life Over the years Grand Designs has seen countless dream projects turn into nightmares, with homeowners plunged into debt and left with unfinished homes at times. Although many viewers will remember the infamous ‘saddest ever home’, another property was eventually taken over by squatters after being found washed up on an Essex beach.
Rob, 54, has explained they paid around £70,000 to buy the barge from a boatyard in Southend. ‘Structurally, it was in a reasonable position externally, but somebody had started work on it on the inside,’ he told Mail Online. ‘They were doing a conversion, and everything they had done looked okay on the outside, but it was terrible when we started to look at it. So, it ended up being a complete refit.
