One lucky person is guaranteed to win a beautiful house in Yorkshire worth over £2.5 million – along with £250,000 in cash – as part of a new prize draw raising funds for Mencap – backed by Jodie Whittaker who hails from Yorkshire.
The winner of the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Yorkshire, will get the keys to an 18th century Georgian country house boasting six-bedrooms, acres of gardens and a spa pool – as well as its own paddocks, stables and state-of-the-art equestrian facilities.
The property comes mortgage-free, with all stamp duty and legal fees covered. The Grand Prize Winner is also given a whopping £250,000 in cash to help them settle in – and can decide to either live in the house, rent it out for a supplementary income or sell it whenever they wish to become a cash multi-millionaire.
If the winner decides to rent it out, local estate agents estimate that the property could achieve a long-term rental value of between £6,000 to £7,000 per month.
Located in the desirable district of Ryedale, the property is an outstanding example of Georgian architecture, surrounded by countryside and set in a commanding position with spectacular views across the Vale of Pickering.
The stunning house has been exquisitely renovated to the highest standards, whilst still maintaining its historical character. The result is a harmonious blend of original period features such as decorative plaster work, architraves and exposed beams – all flawlessly combined with modern luxuries and conveniences.
The winner will be greeted with an impressive entrance hall and staircase. The ground floor provides well-balanced living spaces offering both practicality and comfort for everyday living, with rooms bathed in natural light featuring wooden panelling, window seats, heated flooring and other architectural details encompassing the original stone work.
The winner can enjoy preparing meals for family and friends in the beautiful handcrafted kitchen with top of the range fixtures including a Butler sink with Quooker tank, marble topped island with breakfast bar and a five oven Aga cooker. Adjacent to the kitchen are several store rooms including a traditional pantry with stone slab shelving.
There is a dining room with ample space for hosting guests and a spacious, but cosy, sitting room with a contemporary wood burning stove to snuggle up in front of a fire when winter arrives.
Upstairs there are four sizable bedrooms and four-bathrooms – all furnished with the highest quality fixtures and fittings.
The second floor is home to a superb loft apartment with its own kitchenette, sitting room and a further two-bedrooms with another bathroom – an ideal space for teenage children or visiting guests.
The house is flanked by a sizable terrace, paved in York Stone, which provides excellent areas for entertaining and enjoying the panoramic views.
Overlooking the terrace and built into the bank is a bespoke, heated exercise and spa pool – where the winner can enjoy a dip whilst taking in the beautiful surroundings.
The tranquil property has 15 acres of gardens and is approached through stone gate pillars, with electric gates opening to a sweeping private driveway. There is a manicured lawn with herbaceous borders and clipped yew hedges to the front of the property.
There is ample parking to the front and side of a four bay car port and double garage. An expansive orchard sits to the west, dotted with apple, pear, plum, green gage and walnut trees.
It also has its own paddocks and state-of-the-art equestrian facilities including a stable block with eight loose boxes, two foaling boxes, a wash bay and tack room. There are ten individually fenced paddocks with five rail timber posts amounting to around 11 acres in all. There is also an L-shaped shed with two bay open barn and two timber stables.
The house is located in a small hamlet in Ryedale, perfectly placed between the historic city of York and Yorkshire’s spectacular Heritage Coast, home to some of the most spectacular and diverse scenery in England – with the dramatic landscape of the North York Moors National Park providing a striking contrast to the tranquil, gently rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds and the patchwork of farmland in the Vale of Pickering.
There is a local pub and the historic market town of Pickering, known as the gateway to the Moors, is only five miles away. The town boasts a number of public houses, supermarkets, leisure and sport facilities, local independent shops and cafes, as well as a 13th century castle, the North York Moors steam railway and a museum.
Nearby Kirkbymoorside also provides a good range of shops, a weekly market, cafes, pubs, primary school (Academy), a doctors surgery, cricket, bowling squash clubs as well as an 18 hole golf course. There are supermarkets, two breweries, restaurants, the Talbot Hotel, cookery school, tearooms, a cinema, theatre and Castle Gardens five acres of park.
Dalby Forest is around 12 miles away and features countless walks and cycle trails through stunning scenery, an adventure course and on-site cafe. A dark sky discovery site is an excellent location for stargazing. Also, the popular seaside resort of Scarborough is just over 20 miles away.
As well as making its Grand Prize Winner a multi-millionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Yorkshire, will raise money for Mencap.
Mencap supports people with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives by supporting them directly and campaigning with them to make communities and society fairer and more inclusive.
1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability and face barriers every day due to stigma and discrimination.
On average, people with a learning disability die up to 23 years younger than the general population and many deaths are avoidable.
Only 5% of people with a learning disability have a job but 86% of people with a learning disability want to work, but just need a bit more support to do it.
The money raised from the Omaze partnership will help the charity to fund awareness initiatives to tackle the discrimination that people with a learning disability face every day, breaking down barriers to create a fairer and more inclusive society.
The partnership with Omaze is backed by actress, Dr Who star, Jodie Whittaker, who is proud of her own Yorkshire roots.
Jodie, who is a Mencap ambassador, said: “We need a world where people with a learning disability are seen for all that they are and all that they can be. And Mencap promotes the positive change that is so needed in our society.
“I’ve supported Mencap for over 12 years and know just how vital their work is. The money raised through Omaze for Mencap will make an enormous difference, supporting their fantastic work advocating for people with a learning disability.”
Jodie will be performing in The Duchess at the Trafalgar Theatre from October 2024. She said: “The last time I was on stage was 12 years ago – I remember so clearly turning up for rehearsals with wobbly legs having just run the London Marathon for Mencap. I’m really excited to be back.”
Omaze has guaranteed a minimum donation of £1 million from the partnership.
James Oakes, Chief International Officer at Omaze, said: “Everyone at Omaze is delighted to be partnering with Mencap for our latest house draw.
“By offering this wonderful house in Yorkshire, along with £250,000 in cash, Omaze is giving people the chance to win a life-changing prize that can enable them to live mortgage or rent free, as well as raising money for charities and introducing its charity partners to new audiences that they wouldn’t otherwise reach.
“We’re extremely proud that the Omaze community has already raised over £50 million for good causes across the UK.”
