A DREAM five-bedroom woodland home that featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs and is based on the 80s movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off has gone on sale for £2.5m.
Natural Bridges, in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, was inspired by the house that was home to Cameron – Ferris’ best friend in the hit 1986 film.

The property owner, Harry Anscombe, had become obsessed with living somewhere that resembled the floating steel and glass home in Illinois, US.
And when he showed off the build on Grand Designs in 2018, presenter Kevin McCloud described it as a “stonking triumph”.
It is set in a private eight-acre wooded valley, one mile inland from the County’s rugged northern coast.
