Nigel Farage wants to build a swanky new house in a UK seaside town, but it's not Clacton-on-Sea where the Reform UK leader is standing in the General Election.
Mr Farage has submitted plans to knock down a derelict house on the Kent coast and replace it with a swish, three-storey new-build.

Reform UK's leader has tasked local architects Hollaway Studio with the project in Greatstone on Romney Marsh, Kent.
The three-bed property, which is currently in a state of disrepair but boasts sea views, was bought in March last year for ￡575,000, according to Zoopla.
Mr Farage told KentOnline this week: "This is a commercial rebuild through my company. I believe Greatstone is a super place with a great beach. It will attract many people in the coming years."

He added it will be a long process and he has not yet decided what he will do with the property once work is complete.
News of the planning bid comes as Mr Farage battles to become the MP for Clacton-on-Sea, which is about 125 miles from Romney Marsh.
Mr Farage’s company, Thorn in the Side Limited, has lodged an application with Folkestone & Hythe District Council (FHDC) to knock down the house and replace it with a three-storey dwelling, including a lower ground floor garage.
Planning documents say the existing house is "currently in a state of disrepair" and is smaller compared to other properties in the street.
Under the plans, the property will still be a three-bed, but will rise to three-storeys, including a master bedroom and en-suite in the roof space.

The ground floor at street level will include a garage and carport with space for three cars as well as a "generous driveway" at the front and space for another two vehicles.
The grey brick and weathered timber-clad home will also feature a sunken terrace outside, backing directly onto Greatstone Beach, and a balcony on the first floor overlooking the sea.
New Romney Town Council raised no objections to the planning application. Two of its planning committee’s eight members abstained from voting on it.

It is not yet known when FHDC will decide on the application, but a deadline of July 23 has been set.
In December last year, it was reported Mr Farage had bought a four-bed property in Lydd-on-Sea, less than two miles down the coast from Greatstone.
The Brexiteer was born in Downe, near Orpington, and still resides in the village, which is technically part of Bromley but outside more urban parts of London.
