What happens when a couple wins a mansion in the Omaze house draw? For Paul Knight and Jason Snowdon, the answer is a £4 million listing for their newly acquired home in Bath, UK. The couple, who got married in the mansion just six months ago, are now looking to invest in further properties.
Paul Knight and Jason Snowdon won Batheaston House, a historic mansion that was once part of the estate of Sir John Harington, the inventor of the first flushing toilet. The house boasts six bedrooms and features that date back to the mid-1500s, making it a unique piece of history.
After winning the house, Knight remarked, “When we first won the house, we joked it was fit for royalty, so it felt only right that we have our wedding here.” The couple has since rented the property out as a holiday let for £4,000 a week, capitalizing on its historical allure.
The mansion was meticulously restored in 2015, enhancing its appeal to potential buyers. In addition to the house, the couple also won £250,000 in cash, which they plan to use to purchase another home and invest in more holiday lets.
In a related note, another winner of the Omaze draws, Steph Churchill, celebrated her own victory of £1 million in the Omaze Monthly Millionaire Draw. She expressed her joy, saying, “I just screamed and gave my husband a big kiss and massive hug.”
As the couple prepares to sell Batheaston House, they reflect on the memories created there. Knight stated, “Omaze didn’t just give us a house – they gave us the opportunity to create moments like our wedding day.”
With the listing now active, it remains to be seen who will be the next owner of this remarkable property. The historical significance and luxurious features of Batheaston House are sure to attract considerable interest.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the timeline for the sale and the couple’s next investment moves, but their journey from winners to sellers is a fascinating chapter in the ongoing story of the Omaze house draw.
