We won our ‘dream’ £2.65m mansion in raffle last year – but now it’s up for sale
A LUCKY couple who bagged themselves a £2.65 million mansion have put the dream home on the market.
Jade and her partner were shocked when they discovered they had scooped the prize through website Omaze.
The lucky pair also won a £50,000 cash prize to help furnish the 9,000 sq ft property.
They couple who are from the Midlands told the win had changed their lives.
At the time, Jade said: “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.”
But, it seems the four-bed luxury home wasn’t to their taste, as it is now – less than a year after the win.
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.”
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.
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.
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 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.
