The 'saddest ever' house on Grand Designs looks set to be sold within weeks to a mystery buyer. The house, designed in the style of a lighthouse, has sat empty for years due to development hell which cost owner Edward Short his marriage to wife Hazel.
In February the property was removed from the Knight Frank website as “terms of a sale” were being discussed with a 'serious buyer'. However, earlier this month it was reported that the £10m sale of the extraordinary Chesil Cliff House along with its annex The Eye had dramatically collapsed after the potential buyer pulled out at the eleventh hour.
But Express.co.uk can reveal that the deal is very much alive and that the sale of the Devon clifftop mansion is expected to “go ahead” in a matter of weeks.
