We won a ‘dream’ home for £10 in amazing raffle – now we’re selling it for more than £2m
A LUCKY couple who scooped this £2.5 million ‘dream’ home in a luxury house draw are set to make even more cash.
Jade and her partner were shocked when they discovered they had won the prize through website Omaze.
After forking out just £10, the Midlands pair saw a mega mansion valued at £2.5 million land in their laps.
But now, less than a year later, they are listing the James Bond style beachfront property on the market for £2.65 – which will deliver a £150,000 profit.
The new homeowners had also bagged themselves a £50,000 cash prize to help furnish the 9,000 sq ft mortgage free home.
At the time, Jade told KentOnline: “It’s beyond our wildest dreams.
“There will never be quite enough words to describe how this whole experience has felt to me and my family.
“I can’t believe it. I’m actually physically shaking because it’s unbelievable.”
Located in the village of Kingsdown, Dover, The Gunnery offers a “unique” 1.5 acres with 180 degree vistas of The Channel and stunning White Cliffs.
The agent, Strutt and Parker, described the property: “On arriving in the entrance hall, one is immediately aware of the unique and special nature of this exceptional and individual home.
“A central passageway leads to the main living space – a room with three distinct areas and floor to ceiling windows on two sides affording the most stunning sea views.”
Originally crafted from a former second World War gun emplacement, a main feature of the lounge is an ante chamber with original gun emplacements.
The master bedroom leads out onto a terrace which wraps around the property, offering an idyllic spot to watch the sunrise with a coffee – or sunset with a cocktail.
An en-suite and private dressing room make up the rest of the main bedroom.
Another generously sized room next door leads onto the same terrace, and also comes fitted with en-suite.
The fourth bedroom even has access to a private sunken courtyard and beyond that a cinema room.
This mega mansion also boasts a sleek and modern kitchen at its core, with a large island, bar, integrated wine cellar and dining area – perfect for entertaining or family feasts.
If you are up for an adventure, coastal cliff walks, sailing, and three golf courses are also based nearby.
The grand prize was the latest offering from the Omaze Million Pound House Draw in the UK – which recently saw a family-of-three win a £3m home in Cornwall and a granny win a £3.5m home in the Cotswolds.
