A charming two-bedroom house in Kokkini, Corfu, featured in Alan Carr and Amanda Holden’s renovation series Amanda and Alan’s Greek Job, now stands ready for new owners at €675,000 (£588,000).
This fully restored 1,561 sq ft property blends period features with neutral interiors and a quaint garden. A local developer handled the renovations, and sale proceeds will split equally between Comic Relief and BBC Children in Need.
Rustic Kitchen and Stylish Bathroom
The country-style kitchen highlights a high beamed ceiling, custom-built units, and marble worktops. Restored original stone-flagged floors add authentic rustic charm throughout the space.
Upstairs, a spacious custom circular bathtub paired with colorful tiles elevates the bathroom’s appeal.
Records indicate the home sold for approximately £30,000 prior to its transformation.
Desirable Inland Location
Kokkini sits just a short drive from the vibrant coastal spots of Agios Stefanos and Kassiopi, offering easy access to beaches and seaside amenities.
TV Show Sparks Search Surge
Rightmove data reveals Corfu claimed the top spot among overseas property searches in January 2026, with interest surging nearly 173% year-over-year. The renovation series drove this boom, much like the previous spike in queries for Moclin, Granada, after Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job.
Corfu outpaced popular rivals including Dubai, Costa del Sol, and the Algarve.
“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,” stated Colleen Babcock, Rightmove property expert.
Guide to Buying in Greece
Foreign nationals can own property in Greece, though they generally need a Greek tax number and guidance from an English-speaking lawyer. The golden visa program enables select Corfu purchases to secure EU residency rights.
Overseas property deals demand careful planning due to potential high costs and lengthy processes.
