A Grand Designs 'Noah's Ark' home that appears to float on air has been put up for sale for £1.95m.
The property on the Blackwater River Estuary near Maldon in Essex, featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs in October 2021 and is described as 'flood proof' because of its gravity-defying, cantilevered first floor, which is 4.5m above ground level.
It was originally built by Londoner Geoff Wood, who sold his home in Spain to take on the mammoth construction project whilst living in a caravan on the site.
According to reports, Mr Wood bought the land with planning consent for £325,000, but will have the last laugh on social media critics, who criticised his choice of décor, with its selling price of nearly £2m.
