Battle residents transform £100k investment into stunning £1.5m house now up for raffle

They are now raffling off the house for just £5 per ticket with Raffall, a trusted third-party platform who have hosted 17 successful house raffles to date, along with thousands of other raffles, with prizes including cars and holidays.

It all came about after watching a few too many episodes of Grand Designs. Despite some prior experience in property renovations, the couple had no background in building houses. Even so, shortly after their children began primary school, they put their cottage on the market and went about searching for a plot within their budget.

Eventually, they secured some land with the potential for the development of a small barn and a ‘new build’ property. After renovating the barn and then selling it off, they created the funds to build their first home.

Three years later, their newfound passion for building led them to embark on a second self-build home in the stunning Battle area. However, shortly after the commencement of laying foundations, the sudden lockdowns were announced which created huge uncertainty and many challenges in navigating a building project.

Living on-site in two static caravans with their two sons, somehow, with their experience, sheer hard work, and a fantastic local team of tradesmen, they were able to move into part of the house by October of 2020. It was what they affectionately describe as their lockdown project!

They then spent the following 12 months finishing the rest of the house, landscaping the garden and installing the pool. Despite many challenges, limited finances, and no formal qualifications in the building industry, the couple's determination and efforts resulted in a fulfilling accomplishment.

“We’re extremely proud of this achievement; it is a wonderful family home that just a few years ago we could have only dreamt of owning. Despite our love for the house and location, we feel there is one more project left for both of us. Rather than selling the traditional way with an agent, we decided to raffle our house, allowing someone to win the property for just £5 and at the same time, raise money for some local homeless charities. We are thrilled at the prospect of handing over the keys to the lucky winners, plus raising money for some worthy causes,” said Bella

Located in a perfect setting of countryside and convenience, this home is just a mile from the historic town of Battle. The U-shaped design of the house offers numerous opportunities for a large family or even a multi-generational living arrangement.
