A student nurse who was left homeless after her landlord raised the rent has won a £5 million townhouse in Chelsea through a prize draw. Oceanne Belle, who had been "sofa surfing" after falling victim to the rent crisis in Britain, received a text message informing her of her win. The Georgian townhouse, located in one of the most exclusive areas of Britain, features a garden, modern kitchen, lounge, and bedrooms. Belle also won £100,000 in cash, and the property comes mortgage-free with all stamp duty and legal fees covered.
A Life-Changing Surprise
Oceanne Belle was at home feeling stressed and working on her dissertation when she received several phone calls, which she ignored. Moments later, she received a text message notifying her of her win, but she initially thought it was a joke. However, when she answered the door, she was greeted by the Omaze team singing Christmas carols. Belle was shocked to learn that she had won a multimillion-pound house and described the experience as life-changing.
A Dream Come True
The four-storey townhouse in Chelsea is the most expensive prize ever won in a UK prize draw. Belle, who is originally from the Seychelles and has lived in London for 19 years, is free to live in the house, rent it out, or sell it. Local estate agents estimate that the property could generate a long-term rental income of around £140,000 per year. Belle, who is studying full-time at the University of Sunderland, plans to finish her degree in Health and Social Care in January. She considers winning the house the best Christmas present ever and is excited to invite her family over from the Seychelles.
Achieving Her Dreams
Despite her newfound wealth, Belle remains focused on her ultimate dream of becoming a paediatric nurse. She believes that winning the house will help her achieve that dream. Belle and her partner plan to live in the townhouse for a while before making any long-term decisions.
Overall, Belle's win has provided her with a much-needed home and financial stability, giving her the opportunity to pursue her career goals without the burden of high rent costs in London.
