A famous "Curvy Seashell House" from the TV show "Grand Designs" has gone on the market for the first time since it was built - for £1.45m ($1.9 million USD).

The unique four-bed home, which overlooks the River Teign in England, stood out for its pale pink curving walls and corkscrew staircase tower.

Built by Pat Becker in the garden of her home in Shaldon, Devon, it was designed as a shell due to its seafront location and featured on the popular property show in 2005.

The home has remained in the same family ever since — but has now been listed for sale for the first time.

In the "Grand Designs" episode, host Kevin McCloud said: "It's like being in Miami or the Mediterranean."

He told viewers he loved the views and the glorious architect-designed curves and concluded: "This place is so quirky - there are bits I really like and others I do not."

Estate Agents Bradleys of Shaldon said: "As featured in the popular Channel 4 series of "Grand Designs." The house was built in 2005, echoing a seashell design, this modern coastal property is situated in a prime Shaldon location, in the exclusive Horse Lane neighborhood.

"Nestled between the extensive Botanical Gardens and the Ness Lawns, The Garden House offers fabulous estuary and coastal views."
