A couple who bought a rundown 'crack den' stately home for just 225K spent £2million and ten years restoring it to its former glory.
Reg and Elizabeth Price made a 'daft' offer for 200-year-old Roswarne House - which had fallen into disrepair and taken over by squatters.
But they were amazed when the bid was accepted in 2013 and they set about renovating the depilated graffiti covered home in Camborne, Cornwall.
The stunning Regency Grade-II* listed 29-room home was built between 1810-1815 - but had been abandoned for six years and was being used by drug addicts.
The Greek-revival style stately home on six acres of land was so bad that when retired Reg and Elizabeth bought it it was literally collapsing.
