Benedict Cumberbatch has introduced a new Omaze charity draw for a chance to win a £4 million period home near Cirencester, with proceeds benefiting The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. This initiative offers fans and supporters an opportunity to win a luxurious country property while contributing to cancer research and patient care.
Details of the Prize Home and Financial Benefits
The prize includes a fully refurbished four-bedroom main house accompanied by a two-bedroom guest cottage, all situated on one acre of landscaped gardens. Located six miles from Cirencester and a short distance from Kemble railway station, the property merges traditional features with modern conveniences and scenic views. The winning package is mortgage-free, with stamp duty, legal fees, and £175,000 worth of furnishings covered. Additionally, the winner will receive £250,000 in cash to assist with settling into the property.
Flexible Options for the Winner
The grand prize recipient can choose either to live in the home, rent it out to generate substantial monthly income, or sell it and obtain a considerable cash return. Local estate agents suggest the property could earn an estimated £12,500 to £15,000 per month through long-term rentals. The house, originally dating back to the early 1900s, has undergone significant renovation and extension to offer modern living spaces.
Property Layout and Amenities
The main house presents ample living spaces on the ground floor, including a reception hall, a spacious living room, a study, a library, a garden room, and a large bespoke kitchen and dining area. Upstairs, it features a primary bedroom with an ensuite, two additional ensuite bedrooms, and a versatile dressing room or extra bedroom also equipped with an ensuite. The separate guest cottage offers a sitting room, kitchen and breakfast room, two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and its own private garden. Outside, a well-maintained one-acre plot includes mature shrubs, ornamental trees, herbaceous borders, a large driveway, a handmade oak carport, and electric vehicle charging points.
Supporting The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity
The money raised from this draw will aid The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, supporting The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust in London as it advances cancer research and patient treatment worldwide. Benedict Cumberbatch, who serves as the charity’s ambassador, emphasized his personal connection to the cause.
“The Royal Marsden is very close to my heart, and I’ve seen firsthand the impact of their incredible work.
