Grand Designs has played host to many brilliant ideas that have dramatically failed to come to fruition.
One of the most famous disasters ever featured by Grand Designs is Short’s mansion, which starred in what viewers dubbed the “saddest ever” episode of the show in 2019.
However, it is worth noting that it was only recently relisted, so it may well find a new owner soon.
One builder said in the memorable 2007 episode said the barge “looks s***” while McCloud couldn’t help but dub the home “a floating scrapheap challenge”.
