A North Wales home that featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs and ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here has been put up for sale.
Cefn Castell - located in Criccieth, Gwynedd - is an award-winning "contemporary coastal home with spectacular views" which was designed by Manchester architects Stephenson Studio.
The property is famous, having first featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs back in 2014 when it was predicted by erosion specialists that due to its clifftop location it would eventually fall into the sea.
It then appeared on I'm a Celebrity in 2021 when the ITV reality show was relocated to North Wales - the show taking part at Gwrych Castle in Abergele - due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Campmates Louise Minchin (broadcaster), Naughty Boy (music producer), Snoochie Shy (radio DJ) and Danny Miller (Emmerdale star) all began their I'm a Celebrity journey at Cefn Castell, reports ITVX.
The celebrities met at the Criccieth-based property before heading off to their first challenge at Alexandra Quarry near Penyffridd on the outskirts of Caernarfon.
But now the property, which also won a national RIBA award and was named a finalist in LABC Awards, has been put up for sale.
Cefn Castell is currently on the market with Strutt & Parker at a guide price of £1.3 million.
