Love Island star Lucie Donlan puts £475k Cornwall cottage on the market less than 3 years after saying it was her 'dream' home
Love Island star Lucie Donaldn has put her Cornish cottage on the market less than three years after saying it was her 'dream' home.
Lucie, who was part of ITV's hit dating show back in 2019, renovated the quaint seaside house in Cubert, near Newquay alongside her fiancee Luke Mabbott.
The pair have taken their loyal followers along with them for the journey and have been posting progress pictures to Instagram, as they hope to get around £475,000 for the property.
Although she has not said what is next for the duo, they are still doing up a 144-year-old Cornish chapel also in Newquay, so it is expected the couple will stay in the area.
