EXCLUSIVE We created the 'best ever home' on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces - but now we're separating and you could own our £750,000 houseboat for £5 Do you have a story to tell?

Christina and Rohan Tully have decided to end their relationship four years after completing their dream home, and in the absence of a cash buyer have decided to replicate Omaze by putting their home into a lottery.
The couple spent 20 months converting the old vessel, which cost less than £100,000, into a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom family home where they have been living with their daughter, Elara, on the River Thames in south west London . Their beautiful floating property was described as 'one of the best homes I‘ve ever seen' by George Clarke on Amazing Spaces when Christina and Rohan appeared on the Channel 4 show in 2020. However due to their separation, which the pair prefer to describe as 'conscious uncoupling', the home will soon belong to a new owner for the bargain price of £5, despite recently being on the market for £750,000.
Taking the decision to float their most valuable asset on a raffle isn't something the pair took lightly and only came.
