“Former Paratrooper Wins £4.5 Million Seaside Mansion and £100,000 Cash Prize in Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Despite Considering a £5 Bottle of Wine His Best Previous Win”
“Now, he holds the keys to an ultra-modern five-bedroom mansion in North Norfolk, equipped with a wellness center, a heated swimming pool, and a four-bedroom guest cabin.
The 54-year-old veteran, hailing from Bournemouth, humorously remarked, ‘The first thing I did was head straight to the local pub to celebrate, and of course, I got a few rounds in! When I woke up on Saturday, I thought I must’ve eaten too much strong cheese and dreamt the whole thing, but now that I’ve seen the house, it’s finally starting to sink in. The house is magnificent; I was half expecting the palm trees to fold down and see Thunderbird 2 pop out from under the swimming pool!'”
“This remarkable home offers breathtaking coastal views that stretch over the serene Blakeney salt marshes and the picturesque harbor, extending toward the North Sea. Daren, who is set to share the residence with four cats and a goldfish, can revel in these stunning vistas from his personal Zen zone.
Internally, the mansion boasts a steam room, a dedicated yoga space, and a well-equipped gym featuring ‘Technogym’ fitness equipment, including a treadmill, weights system, and a Peloton exercise bike to help the ex-paratrooper stay in prime condition.
Every room in the house provides direct access to the private and enclosed gardens, which include a terraced entertaining area complete with a kiln fireplace, offering the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings and relaxation.”
