Competition for Dartmoor cottage will raise McMillan cancer charity funds

Dartmoor cottage

Omaze MacMillan Cancer Support dream home

One lucky person is guaranteed to win a beautifully renovated cottage in South Devon worth over £2 million– as well as £100,000 in cash - as part of a new campaign raising vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. And for as little as a tenner!

 

The winner of the Omaze Million Pound House Draw will become the proud owner of a five-bedroom property, set amidst enchanting woodland that borders Dartmoor National Park.

 

The charming home is the result of a tasteful renovation that has preserved the original features of the cottage, such as farmhouse beams and exposed brickwork, whilst incorporating modern architectural design elements that have expanded the property to perfectly complement the original cottage - ensuring it maintains its historical character but still offers modern day luxuries and conveniences. 

 

It comes mortgage free - with all stamp duty and legal fees covered. The winner will also be 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 monthly rental value of almost £3,000 per month.

 

A private driveway leads up to stunningly landscaped gardens showcasing lush lawns and floral displays that surround the property, which is nestled in nature and seamlessly blends into the serene surroundings of Dartmoor National Park.

 

The main house has five bedrooms - the main bedroom comprises ample in-built storage, a panelled rear wall, four large windows overlooking the gardens below and a spacious en suite shower room. The other four double bedrooms provide plenty of space for family and friends.

 

The centre piece of the house is the exquisitely designed kitchen and dining area, complete with state-of-the-art appliances. It provides a bright and open-plan space, featuring a central marble island, and leads onto a dining room, with ample seating for eight people and framed by glazed floor-to-ceiling walls and doors that allow natural light to stream in and fill the space. 

 

The glazed doors open onto a garden stone paved courtyard - giving the winner the option to host friends and family indoors or alfresco, to take in a Devon sunset on a warm summer's evening.  

 

The cosy lounge has large sash windows, a brick fireplace with traditional log-burner and Georgian-style doors leading to the manicured gardens. There is also a home office that has a calming and tranquil atmosphere as well as more inspiring garden views for the winner to take in. 

 

The property also comes with a two-bedroom guest house that has an open-plan kitchen-dining area, shower room and comfortable living area, providing an ideal private space for when guests come to stay. 

 

The house is less than half an hour from Ness Cove Beach, the winner can enjoy lots of outdoor activities including coastal walks, hilltop hikes, horse riding, sailing, surfing and trips to Bovey Castle.

 

As well as making its Grand Prize winner a multi-millionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Devon, will raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, helping the charity provide vital support to people living with cancer across the UK.

 

The money raised will help Macmillan to continue to do whatever it takes to ensure every person with cancer gets the right support for them, every step of the way.

 

Omaze has guaranteed a minimum donation of £100,000 and has a target of at least £1 million.

 

The draw is backed by actor and Macmillan supporter, Larry Lamb, who has been involved with the charity since losing his brother and another close friend to cancer.

 

Larry said: “I first became involved with Macmillan Cancer Support when a dear friend of mine was suffering with brain cancer, then years later we discovered my brother had the same condition. The work Macmillan did to help was extraordinary - they do whatever it takes to support everyone living with or affected by cancer, wherever they are.

 

 “This beautiful house in Devon is a truly life changing prize for one lucky winner - but more importantly - the money and awareness raised through this partnership with Omaze will help Macmillan continue to do their unimaginably important work.

 

“The charity relies almost entirely on donations and everyone who enters the draw will be contributing towards the vital support Macmillan provides to help people living with cancer live life as fully as they can 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 Macmillan for our latest house draw in Devon. By offering this charming 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 £17,350,000 for good causes across the UK.”

 

In addition to winning the Grand Prize - people who enter by Midnight on Sunday September 10 will be in with the chance to win a brand-new VW California Ocean Camper Van.

 

Entries for the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Devon are available now at www.omaze.co.uk. The draw closes on Saturday September 30 for online entries and Tuesday October 3 for postal entries.
