22 Jul Omaze launches latest house draw with stunning £4,500,000 coastal property in Norfolk – as well as £100,000 in cash
One lucky person is guaranteed to win a breath-taking coastal home in Norfolk worth a whopping £4,500,000 – along with £100,000 in cash – as part of a new campaign supporting the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
The winner of the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Norfolk, will get the keys to a stunningly designed property complete with swimming pool and coastal views of the idyllic Blakeney salt marshes and harbour.
The dream property consists of a contemporary main house with five-bedrooms and an additional guest cabin with another four-bedrooms – as well as a standalone home office – providing exceptional entertaining spaces that incorporate the spectacular scenery surrounding the house.
It comes mortgage free – with all stamp duty and legal fees covered. The winner is also given £100,000 in cash – and can decide to either live in the house, rent it out or sell it.
If the winner decides to rent it out, local estate agents estimate that the property could achieve a long term annual rental value of around £60,000.
The house showcases striking modern architecture that has been meticulously designed to celebrate the nearby coastline, through its use of floor to ceiling feature windows that perfectly frame beautiful coastal views, which can also be admired from several balconies and terraces throughout the property.
The front of the property provides a large landscaped decking area that links directly to the heart of the house – the open plan kitchen, living and dining area, complete with sliding glazed doors on each side, which when opened create a seamless continuation of space from the swimming pool courtyard, through the house and onto an outside terrace and dining area that overlooks the North Norfolk coastline.
The lounge, set between the ground and first floor has a large framed view out to the North Sea, whilst the principal bedroom has twin dressing areas and bathrooms. The first floor also has three further double bedrooms with en-suites and a balcony.
A wellbeing area provides a steam room, yoga space and gym with ‘Technogym’ equipment including a Treadmill and Weights System accompanied by a Peloton exercise bike – whilst the cinema room has been built in the ‘Everyman’ mould with acoustic walls, doors and ceiling
The guest cabin – which is attached to the main house – gives friends and family their own private quarters with a further four double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and the principal bedroom providing fine views over to the village and prominent village church. All rooms have direct access to the private and enclosed gardens, with a terraced entertaining area complete with kiln fireplace.
A heated swimming pool, with the south to south-west aspect providing the ideal setting for outside enjoyment. There is raised decking and an outside kitchen area with steps down to paved areas that surround the house.
The property also boasts a stand-alone studio building – The Hub – at its southernmost point – is accessed through landscaped gardens of nepeta and tall grasses, with a wildlife pond, which leads to glazed doors into an open plan area, perfect for use as an office space.
With a sitting area, meeting area and desk space, this is the ideal work from home setup, complete with a kitchen, shower room and a further room that can be used for storage.
An expanse of lawn sweeps away from the house, with wildflower areas, tall grasses and clipped hedging providing horticultural form all year round. Within the grounds is a kitchen garden, ornamental pond and easily maintained private gardens.
The house is situated close to Blakeney – a quintessential coastal village, with pretty flint cottages lining narrow streets leading down to the charming quay. The village has excellent pubs including The White Horse and Kings Arms, a thriving delicatessen, art galleries, The Moorings fish restaurant, the renowned Blakeney Hotel and the convenience of a village store.
The picturesque market town of Holt is just over four miles away and is renowned for its boutique shopping, Byford’s delicatessen, good restaurants, pubs and further specialist and everyday shopping. There are also banking and transport facilities within the town and a host of schools nearby.
As well as making its Grand Prize winner a multi-millionaire – the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Norfolk – will support the RNLI – raising crucial funds to help the charity continue its lifesaving work. The RNLI’s volunteer lifeboat crews provide a 24-hour rescue service in the UK and Ireland, and their seasonal lifeguards look after people on busy beaches.
All of the training, kit and equipment RNLI’s lifesavers need is funded by generous donations. It’s with the support of the public that the charity continues to save lives at sea.
Omaze has guaranteed a minimum donation of £100,000 and has a target of at least £1,000,000.
The draw has been launched by BAFTA winning actress, wild swimmer and RNLI Ambassador, Joanna Scanlan, whose sister-in-law is a volunteer Deputy Launch Authority at RNLI Beaumaris which means she is responsible for requesting the launch of their lifeboat.
Joanna said: “This fabulous house in Norfolk is a truly life changing prize for one lucky winner – but more importantly, the money and awareness raised through this innovative partnership with Omaze will help the RNLI continue its lifesaving work.
“The RNLI has saved over 142,700 lives at sea since 1824 – and everyone who enters will be contributing towards the crucial training and equipment their lifesavers need to help people who find themselves in trouble in the water – and of course one lucky person is guaranteed to win this dream home too.”
James Oakes, Chief International Officer at Omaze, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with the RNLI for our latest house draw in Norfolk. By offering this stunning property, along with £100,000 in cash, we’re giving people the chance to live mortgage and rent free for the rest of their life – as well as raising money for charities whilst introducing them to brand new audiences.
“We’re incredibly proud that the Omaze community has already raised £15,400,000 for good causes across the UK.”
In addition to winning the Grand Prize house – people who enter by midnight on Sunday 13th August will be in with the chance to win an additional life changing £250,000 in cash.
