One lucky Clarkson's Farm fan is about to get a taste of the dream Cotswolds life, as they've won a 17th-century country house after entering the Omaze Million Pound House Draw — as well as £250,000 to help them settle in.
25-year-old Anthony Martin from Cambridgeshire spent just £25 on his ticket to enter the competition and is now the proud owner of the five-bedroom property worth a staggering £5 million.
Anthony revealed that he'd never been to the Cotswolds before, but that he is a fan of Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Prime series, Clarkson's Farm, commenting that he 'can't believe [he's] pretty much Jeremy's neighbour now.'
The luxurious property comes mortgage-free, with all legal fees covered, meaning Anthony can decide whether he wants to live in the house, rent it out or sell it — which would make him a cash multi-millionaire.
Plus, along with the £250,000, the home comes with £180,000 worth of furnishings, so he can move right in and live the Cotswolds dream!
While the furnishings are warm and modern, the property's period features include classic mullion windows, exposed wooden beams and original fireplaces.
Offering ample space, the property has two reception rooms; a bespoke kitchen and dining area that leads onto a large south-facing terrace; as well as a detached, self-contained, two-bed cottage — perfect for hosting family and friends.
Along with five beautiful bedrooms, the home also boasts an incredible heated outdoor pool with its own changing room and shower facilities, all complimented by its outstanding countryside surroundings.
Before his big win, Anthony had been working as a deckhand on yachts for the past year and said: '[I'm] more used to sleeping below deck in cramped bunk beds, rather than mansions.
'I was backpacking in Spain when Omaze got in touch to tell me I'd won something. I didn't have any credit on my phone, so I didn't see any of the missed calls or emails at first, but when I eventually topped up and saw all the messages, I started to think I might have won something pretty decent.
'One minute I'm staying in a hostel, in a 15-bed dorm, then the next thing I know I'm a multi-millionaire.
'I don't know what I'll do yet, I've got a lot to think about, but this win has changed my life forever — my future is sorted now, whatever I decide to do, it's an incredible feeling.'
As well as making Anthony a multi-millionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw raised £4.2 million for the Guide Dogs charity.
