A unique clifftop house that was on Grand Designs is for sale. The house, called Cefn Castell, is on a cliff near Criccieth and was on the TV show with Kevin McCloud in 2014.
It was made by famous architects from Manchester, Stephenson Studio. Rob and Kay Hodgson wanted it to look ultra modern but also use old stone from a cottage that was 400 years old, inspired by a maritime theme and coastal observation stations. You can read the full dramatic story behind the home here.
But the biggest source of intrigue comes from its position right next to the cliff which is slowly eroding away. On the TV show, they said the house might last 60 years. But in 2019, Rob said it could be more than 140 years because the supports they put in have resulted in very little movement, North Wales Live reports.

Now you can buy this amazing house, as Strutt and Parker are selling it for £1.3 million. Talking about the cliff in 2019, Rob said: "I understand the focus on the cliff, it was an aspect of the project and of course the production company needed to bring that aspect to the forefront of the story.
"People who pass by on the coastal path always want to chat and most of them ask about the cliff issue, but it hasn't moved. Props have been in place for years now and we've not lost any more than about 10cm of it." See the latest Welsh homes as they come on the market, sign up to our newsletter here
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."
"The quality of construction and detailing is exemplary and resulted in the house being shortlisted as a national finalist in the LABC Awards. 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."
They 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."
"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."
