A lucky dad from Bolton is selling his stunning £2.35m mansion after winning it in an Omaze draw, aiming to secure a bright future for his family.
Bolton: Just a few months ago, Tom Steenson hit the jackpot in an Omaze draw, winning a gorgeous mansion in Exmouth. Now, he’s putting it up for sale at a staggering £2.35 million.
Tom, 63, only spent £20 to enter the draw last autumn. He ended up with a modern four-bedroom home that boasts a swimming pool and stunning sea views. Talk about a lucky break!
When he won, everything was covered—no mortgage, no stamp duty, and even £250,000 in cash to help him settle in. What a sweet deal!
Tom lives in Maidstone with his wife, Carole, and they’ve been married for 35 years. He’s been in the motor industry for nearly four decades and isn’t planning to quit his job just yet. He likes to keep busy!
After winning, Tom was excited about hosting family gatherings at the new place, including a pool party for his grandkids. He even mentioned a possible Christmas trip with family from Australia.
But now, he’s thinking about selling the mansion. He believes the money could change their lives and help their kids get on the property ladder. It’s all about creating a legacy for the family.
Local estate agents say if they rented it out, they could make between £6,000 and £7,000 a month. That’s some serious cash!
Besides making Tom a millionaire, the Omaze draw also raised £3.5 million for a suicide prevention charity. So, it’s a win-win situation!
Tom and Carole have lived in their two-bedroom home in Maidstone since 2021, sharing it with their kids and a Cocker Spaniel named Dazzle. Now, they’re ready to cash in on their new mansion.
The property, called The Hideout, is listed with Knight Frank for £2.35 million. It features up to five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a gym, a cinema room, and even a separate annexe.
The garden is southeast-facing and includes a terrace and swimming pool. The house itself is a modern marvel with over 4,200 square feet of luxury living space and breathtaking views.
All the furniture and contents are included in the sale. If you’re curious, you can check out the property details online.
