A Grand Designs 'Noah's Ark' home that appears to float on air has been put up for sale for £1.95m.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.
