Omaze launches latest draw with £4.5m waterfront home in Cornwall + £250k cash

One lucky person is guaranteed to win a stunning waterfront house in Cornwall worth £4.5 million - along with £250,000 in cash - as part of a new prize draw raising funds for the RSPB, the UK’s largest nature conservation charity.

The winner of the Omaze Million Pound House Draw in Cornwall will get the keys to a contemporary, four-bedroom house near Falmouth, on the Cornish coastline, complete with spectacular panoramic sea views, a heated swimming pool, green roofs and its very own terraced tower to take in the surrounding scenery.

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 £5,000 per month.

The house is an outstanding example of modern architecture. It has been meticulously designed to celebrate the coastal landscape - with plenty of glazing to offer breathtaking views of the sea and Cornish countryside from almost every room - whilst also allowing natural light to fill the entire home.

The main entrance hall leads into an elegant open-plan living space with a bespoke kitchen, dining room and luxurious sitting room area. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors lead onto a spacious terrace that wraps around the front elevation of the house, and offers more views of the coast and picturesque landscapes.

The generous dining terrace leads directly from the kitchen and provides an idyllic space for entertaining guests alfresco anytime, day or night. The property has built-in speakers throughout so the winner can enjoy surround sound quality music from anywhere.

The central stylish staircase to the lower ground floor leads to the main bedroom, with a deluxe en suite bathroom and dressing area. This floor has a further three double bedrooms, two of which are en suite, as well as a family bathroom, utility room, plant room and a chic wine room.

A second staircase is located within the striking tower at the southern end of the house and connects the cosy ground floor snug to the first-floor office as well as a fantastic sundowner terrace.

The landscaped gardens at the property complement the house and surrounding landscape perfectly.

There is a lawn area, extensive terracing, a sheltered sundowner terrace and an abundance of colourful plants and shrubs which are well suited to a coastal garden.

The beautiful south-facing garden has been designed to take full advantage of the setting, with outstanding sea views across to the iconic Pendennis Castle and St Anthony’s Head Lighthouse.

The terracing creates a spacious dining area, and there are several sheltered spots within the grounds to enjoy the tranquil waterfront surroundings.

There is an outdoor kitchen and additional dining area, together with a sunken fire pit and private direct access to the South West Coast Path.

There is also a heated outdoor swimming pool with views of the ocean. There is also a hot tub and pool house, which could equally be used as a home office or additional accommodation. The property also has ample parking, garaging and a garden store.

From the bottom of the garden and following the South West Coast Path, the house is within walking distance of the beautiful beaches of Maenporth and Swanpool. Alternatively, the quieter beach escape Nansidwell, is only a short walk and offers the perfect location for a secluded break.

The house is conveniently located just 3.5 miles from the historic town and port of Falmouth. South Cornwall is famed for sailing and cruising out at the Helford River and the River Fal. There are deep water moorings at the nearby Helford River and first-class yacht marinas at Falmouth.

If the lucky winner is a sports enthusiast, there are several golf courses in the area. In addition to river and sea fishing, other water sports include windsurfing and water skiing on the Helford Passage and in Falmouth Bay. It is also a convenient location to explore the coves of the Lizard Peninsula.

As well as making its Grand Prize Winner a multi-millionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Cornwall, will raise money for the RSPB.

For over 130 years, the RSPB has been protecting habitats, saving species, and helping to end the nature and climate emergency so that wildlife, wild places and people can thrive.

The funds raised by Omaze will be used to support the protection and restoration of one of nature’s greatest superpowers: peatland.

These wet, boggy landscapes are home to some of the UK’s rarest birds and other incredible wildlife – from skydancing Hen Harriers, to hares and even insect-eating sundew plants. They filter much of our drinking water, can help reduce the risk of flooding and have a vital role to play in the fight against climate change.

Peatlands hold more carbon than all the world’s forests combined and when in a healthy, natural state keep it locked away. But around 80% of UK peatlands are damaged and deteriorating. Instead of absorbing carbon they are leaking their vast stores back into the atmosphere. To tackle the nature and climate emergency these amazing landscapes must be protected and restored urgently.

The money raised from the Omaze partnership will help the charity bring these precious places back from the brink.

The partnership with Omaze is backed by businessperson, TV personality and RSPB ambassador Deborah Meaden.

Deborah said: “Some of the best moments of my life have been when I have stood still surrounded by nature, just listening and watching. But nature is in crisis. We are now one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. We don’t want our wildlife to disappear, our wild places to be threatened, or our rivers to be polluted.

"This partnership with Omaze is a fantastic way to not only raise significant sums of money for vital conservation work, but also spread awareness for the RSPB and take action for nature. I’m so proud to be supporting this incredible partnership between the RSPB and Omaze. Together we can save the nature we love before it’s too late.”

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 the RSPB for our latest house draw.

“By offering this spectacular house in Cornwall, 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 £47 million for good causes across the UK.”
