£3m luxury home in north Cornwall up for grabs in prize draw for charity
The fully furnished house is a grand prize in the Omaze Million Pound House Draw
One lucky person is guaranteed to win a stunning £3,000,000 house in Cornwall - as part of a new prize draw to raise vital funds for Blood Cancer UK.
The winner of the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw will get the keys to an award-winning four-bedroom house, boasting unobstructed panoramic views of the Camel Estuary, just a mile away from the picturesque village of Rock, on the North Cornwall coast.
The luxurious 4,200 sq ft home - crowned Best New Build in Cornwall 2020 - is set in more than five acres of land and has been designed to seamlessly blend into the surrounding Cornish countryside.
About the house
The house is in a quiet and private location, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Outside it has a south-facing, sun-soaked terrace with unspoilt views overlooking the estuary, as well as a hot tub and an internal courtyard with exposed brick walls featuring a large open fireplace.
The fully furnished property is a marvel of modern architecture – it has an impressive open plan living space with a state-of-the-art kitchen and dining room, creating a serene space for family life and entertaining guests.
The main bedroom has its own deluxe bathroom – whilst the other three well-appointed double bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, so guests can freshen-up after a long day at the beach.
The house is close to an array of fine sandy beaches and even has a dedicated surf wet room. The surrounding area is ideal for a host of outdoor activities including - surfing, sailing, canoeing, water skiing, windsurfing, gig rowing, golf, cycling and scenic coastal walks.
Locally, there are ample shopping facilities and a wealth of excellent restaurants and pubs including The Mariners Pub in Rock, Restaurant Nathan Outlaw in Port Isaac, Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant and Paul Ainsworth’s No. 6 in Padstow. The ferry and water taxi at Rock make travelling to Padstow both enjoyable and easy.
The sustainable house is mortgage free and all stamp duty and legal fees are covered. The winner is also given £50,000 cash to help them settle in - and is free 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 up to £15,000 a month for holiday letting during peak season.
Raising money for charity
As well as making its grand prize winner a multi-millionaire - the draw will also support Blood Cancer UK, a charity dedicated to funding research into blood cancer, which includes leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
Blood Cancer UK is also committed to offering information and support to people with blood cancer, as well as improving early diagnosis rates. Currently, a quarter of people with blood cancer are diagnosed as an emergency, as the symptoms can so easily go unnoticed.
The money raised through the Cornwall House Draw will help Blood Cancer UK to fund more research to help bring forward the day when blood cancer is finally beaten, and to give support and information to people who are affected by blood cancer.
The fundraising campaign with Omaze will give the charity a minimum donation of £100,000 guaranteed and has a target raise of at least £500,000.
The draw is backed by Olivier Award winning actress and Blood Cancer UK supporter Dame Penelope Wilton, who has been involved with the charity since appearing in the film Calendar Girls - alongside Dame Helen Mirren and Dame Julie Waters - in 2003.
The film tells the story about a group of friends from the Women’s Institute inspired to shoot their own Pirelli style nude calendar to raise funds for Blood Cancer UK - after one of them, Angela Knowles, tragically lost her husband John to non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in February 1998.
Dame Penelope Wilton said: “I worked on Calendar Girls almost 20 years ago - it told such a moving and inspirational story that I have been involved with Blood Cancer UK ever since.
“Their partnership with Omaze is brilliant - it raises money and awareness for such an important charity. Their research is pivotal to beating blood cancer and everyone who enters the draw is helping to support this incredibly worthwhile cause.”
Gemma Peters, Blood Cancer UK’s Chief Executive, said: “We are so grateful to Omaze for choosing us as its partner for this house draw. Blood cancer is the UK’s third biggest cancer killer, and the money this partnership raises will help fund lifesaving research that will bring forward the day when blood cancer is finally beaten.
“The partnership is also a great opportunity to raise awareness of blood cancer and its symptoms. Too many people with blood cancer are not diagnosed quickly enough, which results in poorer outcomes so by making sure more people know about the symptoms, we could save lives.”
How the prize draw works
James Oakes at Omaze said: “We’re honoured to be partnering with Blood Cancer UK for this House Draw. By offering this dream property in Cornwall, we’re not only giving people the chance to win an amazing house, but also raising money and introducing charities to brand new audiences.
“We’re incredibly proud that the Omaze community has already raised £4,750,000 UK charities since we launched in 2020.”
