Kirsty Young won\u2019t be moving the Loch Lomond island<\/p>\n
Scottish television presenter Kirsty Young and her husband Nick Jones, founder of the Soho House private clubs chain, have dropped their plans to build a home on a secluded island in Loch Lomond.<\/p>\n
The couple spent just under \u00a32 million in 2020 on Inchconnachan Island, where they planned to build a home.<\/p>\n
Their only neighbours on the 103-acre wilderness would be a rare group of red-necked wallabies introduced in the 1940s.<\/p>\n
After securing permission for a two-storey lodge, boathouse and private jetty, ill-health has intervened and forced them to put \u201cwallaby island\u201d up for sale.<\/p>\n
Instead they will remain in the Cotswolds after Jones, 62, was successfully treated for prostate cancer, a decision that led him to step down from Soho House\u00a0after almost 30 years as chief executive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy priorities have changed,\u201d he told the Wall Street Journal. \u201cWhen you go through what I went through, you\u2019re looking for a slightly smaller life rather than a bigger life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ms Young, 57, who made her TV breakthrough with Scottish Television, has suffered health problems of her own, standing down from presenting\u00a0Desert Island Discs\u00a0to receive treatment for a form of fibromyalgia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The lodge will be designed by Nicos Yiatros and Gunnar Groves-Raines of\u00a0GRAS architects and has been designed to have \u201cuninterrupted views across the loch to Ben Lomond\u201d, according to Sotheby\u2019s International Realty UK, the estate agent.<\/p>\n
