Would You Move In, Rent Out or Sell Up The Lake District House?

When you win an Omaze Million Pound House, it's as if a fairy godmother has unlocked your destiny in the flash of a magic wand. But even fairytale heroes encounter crossroads on the way to everlasting happiness. Soon, the Grand Prize Winner of this Enchanting House in the Lake District, worth £4,000,000, will wonder whether to Move In, Rent Out or Sell Up. 

Spoiler: Each path leads to a happy ever after! 

Let’s look at the options in more detail:

Move In

The Grand Prize Winner may ponder whether waking every day in the unspoilt majesty of the Lake District is their true calling. They may even decide to try it on for size, like Cinderella stepping into the fabled glass slipper for a life beyond her wildest dreams. The lucky winner can unwrap a storybook Christmas with loved ones in a state-of-the-art marble and oak kitchen to a spectacular Lakeland backdrop. Or take time to explore Coniston Water in their handmade boat from a private jetty before warming themselves by the fire in an oak-clad summerhouse.

If this incredible house in six acres of woodland gardens with a gym and spa turns out to be our winner’s perfect fit, then they are free to move in and never look back. 

And here’s how we aim to make move that as smooth as possible:

  • We’ve styled and furnished the house with beautiful pieces worth £160,000 so it’s all ready to move into.
  • As always, we’ve taken care of the mortgage, stamp duty and legal fees, so there’s nothing left to pay.
  • We’ll give the winner £250,000 in cash to help with running costs and settling in.

We’ve estimated the running costs of the Lake District House (as of November 2024) to be £862 per month based on:

  • Electricity: £400 per month  
  • Air source heat pump service: £33.00 per month
  • Water (bore hole service): £33 per month 
  • Broadband: £65 per month
  • Council tax: £316 per month
  • Gate access: £15 per month

There are also additional services that the winner may wish to engage such as hot tub maintenance, a mooring license, cleaner and gardener, which we would expect to come to around £1,220 per month. 

Rent Out 

When Jack descended the beanstalk with the golden goose under his arm, he knew he’d captured the ultimate gift that keeps on giving. And if our winner rents out this four bedroom house in one of the Lake District’s most beautiful locations, they can enjoy a monthly income of around £4,000 a month, every month, without lifting a finger. Perhaps this could mean retiring early, pursuing a long-held creative ambition or just simply doing more of what they love without worrying about the bills. In which case, renting out this Enchanting House is the one for them.

Sell Up

Or if, like The Little Mermaid, our winner longs to walk away and start a new life elsewhere then selling up is the best option.  With a six figure sum in the bank, they could design and build their dream house wherever they like, travel the world in luxury, or set their family and friends up for life. So if millions of pounds is their heart’s true desire, the Lake District House Grand Prize Winner can put this luxurious house on the market in two shakes of a mermaid's tail and be free to chase their dreams.   

So, for your chance to live in luxury in this truly spellbinding spot, enjoy an extra monthly income of £4,000, or a multimillionaire’s bank balance, just enter the Lake District House Draw now.
