The latest property featured in Alan Carr and Amanda Holden’s popular Greek renovation TV series, Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job, has hit the market in Kokkini, Corfu. Priced at €675,000—or £588,000—this fully restored two-bedroom house spans 1,561 square feet and blends period charm with modern comforts.
Key Property Features
The home showcases a country-style kitchen with a high beamed ceiling, custom-built units, and sleek marble worktops. Restored old stone flagged floors enhance its rustic appeal. Upstairs, the bathroom impresses with a large custom circular bathtub and vibrant tiles. Neutral interiors, period details, and a quaint garden complete the inviting space.
Believed to have been purchased for £30,000, the house was renovated by a local developer. Proceeds from the sale will split equally between Comic Relief and BBC Children in Need.
Prime Location and Rising Popularity
Situated inland from the popular Agios Stefanos area and the seaside town of Kassiopi, the property offers convenient access to Corfu’s attractions. Recent data from Rightmove reveals Corfu as January’s top-searched overseas destination, with searches surging nearly 173% compared to the previous year. This boost mirrors a similar trend for Moclin, Spain, following the duo’s prior series, Amanda & Alan’s Spanish Job.
Colleen Babcock, Rightmove’s property expert, stated: “Time and again we see curious home-hunters flock to see properties for sale in locations they’ve seen on TV or in films. In this case, the popularity of Amanda Holden & Alan Carr’s renovation projects took Corfu right to the top of overseas destination searches. It’s a beautiful home and we hope it finds the right buyer.”
Buying Property in Greece
Foreign buyers can own property in Greece but typically require a Greek tax number and assistance from an English-speaking lawyer. Greece’s golden visa program allows certain Corfu purchases to qualify for EU residency. Experts advise thorough due diligence, as overseas transactions can be complex and costly.
