With the home set on the edge of the Tamar Valley, Cornwall, an area of outstanding natural beauty, it may sound idyllic but the property still needs finishing.

The former silver mine, in Harrowbarrow, near Callington, first appeared on the Channel 4 TV show, fronted by Kevin McCloud, in 2011 – but it’s not yet finished.

The main home stretches over four floors with the entrance hall and kitchen/family room situated on the ground floor along with a shower room and bedroom.

On the first floor there is another bedroom and bathroom while the next floor contains the sitting room.

The couple had a 12-month limit to complete the renovation but had only borrowed £100,000 from the bank.

They ran out of money and missed the deadline for completion but continued to work on the home when they had time in between their day jobs.
