"A dedicated fan, initially residing with 15 others, has upgraded to being Jeremy Clarkson's fellow homeowner, having secured a £5 million mansion for a mere £25!"
Score a whopping £5 million abode next door to Jeremy Clarkson, all thanks to a stroke of luck in the latest Omaze draw! That's right, meet Anthony Martin, the 25-year-old yacht deckhand from Cambridgeshire, who just nabbed a dreamy 17th century Cotswolds home equipped with an outdoor heated pool.
Overjoyed by his newfound neighbor, the prolific star of Clarkson's Farm, Anthony gushed, "I can't believe he's going to be my neighbor now, it's just crazy." With five cozy bedrooms sprawled across this stunning countryside mansion, Anthony is now the very definition of living the high life.
Entering the Omaze draw was a whim for Anthony, who purchased his winning ticket for just a cool £25 and only started participating last month. After backpacking in sunny Spain, the surprising call from Omaze kicked his life into an unexpected spin.
The jackpot winner admits he initially missed the cacophony of phone calls and emails, but once he finally received service, his world changed in an instant. "When Omaze actually called me to say I'd won the £5 million house in the Cotswolds, I was stunned. That's not a call you get everyday, I just couldn't believe it, I was in total shock," he recounted.
But that's not all, Anthony. The lavish abode comes with a mortgage-free deed, all legal fees covered, and a hefty £250,000 cash bonus for decorating and renovating to his heart's content. Talk about cherry on top!
The winning house's spectacular attributes come with an extra edge, as it's already equipped with £180,000 worth of furniture. If Anthony should choose to lease this luxurious pad, estate agents estimate a potential monthly income of up to £18,000. Far cry from the cramped quarters aboard those yachts, eh, Anthony?
Anthony recently shared that he's new to the idyllic Cotswolds, expressing, "I've been working as a deckhand on yachts for the past year, so I'm more used to sleeping below deck in cramped bunk beds." Alas, those days are long gone as he now enjoys standing up straight in his spacious new home.
As the holiday season approaches, Anthony is eager to throw a memorable family Christmas bash at his stunning new property, stating, "We'll be having a huge family Christmas here. There are around twenty of us and I'm normally the one who ends up sleeping on the floor, but now I'm guaranteed a bed as I'll be hosting everyone else for change."
The south-facing mansion boasts two reception rooms, adorned with exposed wooden beams and original fireplaces. A sleek, bespoke kitchen and dining area shine with state-of-the-art appliances, while the expansive terrace beckons lovers of the outdoors to the heated outdoor swimming pool surrounded by stone decking. In addition to the magnificent main house, a cozy two-bedroom detached cottage guest house awaits visitors.
Lastly, the pristine landscaped gardens promise breathtaking views, leaving little to be desired in Anthony's magical new abode.
Of course, winning this incredible prize does more than change Anthony's life—it also benefits the Guide Dogs charity, raising a stunning £4.2 million. With two million people in the UK already struggling with sight loss, this much-needed donation will help fund 1,350 guide dog puppies and a year's worth of food for all 3,200 working guide dogs.
In the words of Andrew Lennox, CEO at Guide Dogs, "Thanks to the generosity of the Omaze community, we can provide life-changing services that empower people with a vision impairment to live the life they choose." Indeed, every penny makes a difference, and Anthony's winning entry has undeniably paved the way for a better world for those in need.
So, here's to Anthony, the 25-year-old yacht deckhand with a stroke of luck and an unbeatable story! Cheers to a future filled with good times, superb memories, and undying gratitude for this new lease on life—or rather, mortgage-free lifestyle!
Anthony's new home, a 17th century Cotswolds mansion, not only includes a dreamy outdoor heated pool, but also falls within the neighborhood of Jeremy Clarkson. With five cozy bedrooms, this stunning countryside estate truly embodies a home-and-garden lifestyle for Anthony. His newfound abode also comes with a £250,000 cash bonus for renovation and décor, making it even more enticing for Anthony to realize his design aspirations.
