Luxury Lake District Home Worth £5 Million Offered In New Omaze Charity Prize Draw
A luxury lakeside property in the Lake District is being offered in a new charity prize draw, with a £5 million cash alternative.
The contemporary six-bedroom lodge is situated beside Lake Windermere and features a private jetty, boathouse and extensive views across the surrounding landscape. The property is the latest grand prize in an Omaze Million Pound House Draw, which aims to raise money for Maggie’s, a charity supporting people affected by cancer.
The successful winner will be given a choice between receiving the property or taking £5 million in cash. The house is being offered fully furnished and mortgage-free, with stamp duty and conveyancing fees covered as part of the prize package.
Anyone choosing the property will also receive £250,000 in cash to help with running costs. The arrangement is intended to give the winner flexibility when deciding how to use the home, whether as a private residence, a rental investment or a property to sell.
The lodge covers approximately 6,000 square feet and has six bedrooms and six bathrooms. Its layout includes an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a lounge, a cinema room, a gym and a games room, offering a range of facilities within the main building.
A separate boathouse adds another feature to the lakeside property. It includes its own living area and kitchen, while the outdoor space has a two-level terrace, an outdoor kitchen and a private stretch of lakefront. The grounds also include a tin spa bath and parking for up to six vehicles.
The property's private jetty provides direct access to Windermere, one of the Lake District's best-known natural attractions. Its woodland setting and views across the water and surrounding fells are central to the appeal of the prize, which is being promoted as a distinctive lakeside home.
The location is within reach of several popular towns and transport links. Windermere town and railway station are approximately 4.3 miles away, while the M6 at Junction 36 is around 15 miles from the property. Manchester Airport is approximately 87 miles away.
The prize draw is also intended to generate support for Maggie’s, which provides practical, emotional and social support for people living with cancer and their families. Omaze says the draw includes a guaranteed £1 million donation to help the charity establish a new cancer support centre in the West Midlands.
The organisation said its fundraising model allows participants to enter prize draws while helping charities reach wider audiences. Omaze has stated that it has raised more than £150 million for UK charities since 2020, alongside awarding more than £250 million in prizes across the country.
Online entries for the Lake District draw are scheduled to close on Saturday, December 26, 2026. Postal entries will remain open until Wednesday, December 30. The winner is due to be drawn on January 7, 2027, with notification scheduled for the following day, subject to the verification process.
An additional early-bird prize is also available for eligible entrants. Those entering online by Sunday, December 6, or by post by Tuesday, December 8, will be included in a separate draw for £500,000 in cash. The early-bird winner is scheduled to be drawn on December 10.
The draw is open to UK residents aged 18 and over, and Omaze states that entry is also possible without making a purchase. Participants should check the official terms and conditions for the entry process, eligibility requirements and closing dates before taking part.
The competition offers a choice between a substantial cash prize and a furnished home in one of England's most recognised scenic areas. Alongside the opportunity for one winner, the fundraising element is intended to support Maggie’s work with people affected by cancer.
