AN incredible clifftop Grand Designs home that also featured in I’m A Celebrity has gone on sale.
The unique property, named Cefn Castell, is slowly falling into the sea and is found in the picturesque surroundings of Criccieth, in Wales.
Grand Designs has been on Channel 4 now for a whopping 25 years with Kevin McCloud at the helm.
Back in 2014, Rob and Kay Hodgson took part in the property show as they constructed a new-build on a dramatic cliff-side in Wales.
Rob and Kay wanted it to look ultra modern but also used old stone from a cottage that was 400 years old, inspired by a maritime theme and coastal observation stations.
The sleek glass-fronted villa is a sight to behold but erosion specialists predict it would fall into the sea.
Back in 2019, Rob said a range of experts have predicted the life of the home to be about 140 years.
But that’s still plenty of time for anyone to enjoy the great sights the house has to offer.
Strutt and Parker are now selling the stunning property for a whopping £1.3 million.
It was made by famous architects from Manchester, Stephenson Studio.
And it was seen in I’m a Celebrity 2021 when contestants raised a glass inside the home.
The estate agent shared: “The house featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs and more recently on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and was the winner of a national RIBA award.
“It has also been featured in a wide range of design and architecture publications.
“There is 2000 sq ft of space with all rooms enjoying coastal views combined with intimate views linking internal spaces. Skyframe sliding glass panels provide access to the garden, rear courtyard and first floor terrace.”
As well as being a TV star, the house has won a Royal Society of Architects in Wales (RSAW) award.
It was also long-listed for the RIBA Grand Designs: House of the Year 2015.
The listing continued: “The bedroom and bathroom have spectacular coastal views of the Llyn Peninsula to Abersoch to the West and Harlech to the East and there is access to a roof terrace through a sliding glazed unit.

This stunning property is situated on the Lake District and featured on the Channel 4’s show 10th series.
Its owners had fallen behind on their mortgage repayments and were at risk of losing the home before a supporter helped out.
Since then the abode has proven to be a hugely popular rental and operates as a B&B.
The house boasts a huge pool and spacious kitchen and dinning areas.
This home featured a long time ago, in series five to be exact, and is also known as the The Sliding Glass Roof.
Its owners couldn’t afford to buy a property in London and so bought a piece of land at auction.
The ‘experimental’ house features a sliding glass roof and bedrooms as pods on the mezzanine.
The three bed house sees a wall in the master bedroom completely disappear allowing the garden to become part of the room.
It features a spa as well as a fold down cinema.
This property featured on a recent series of Grand Designs and instantly had viewers fascinated.
It’s located in West Sussex and was transformed from a tired, rundown house into a luxurious home.
Daniel and Nina Rowland designed and built the timber-cladding house on their own.
They used their skills as a architect and interior designer to create the stunning property.
“The stone remains of a 400 year old existing ruined cottage were re-used for a new 2.8m monumental stone boundary wall offering exceptional privacy to residents and textural contrast using traditional stone wall building techniques of the local area.
“The new house separates from the stone wall with a glass slot roof, which delicately touches the wall.
“The home is located in an SSSI in front of the Welsh Coastal path which provides access to the beach and a short ten minute walk to the pretty seafront holiday town of Criccieth, providing a wealth of local amenities including shops, friendly pubs and excellent restaurants.”
