Transformation: Cambridge Lodge, which was a disused water tank, has opened as a holiday home
A disused concrete water tank dating back to 1909 has been transformed into a luxurious holiday home.
Jim and Lisa Hardy spent 10 years renovating Cambridge Lodge, which was covered in earth and only accessible through manholes in the roof.
The couple, who bought the property from Severn Trent Water, gave it a makeover – based on a sketch on the back of an envelope.
