‘I was sharing room with 15 people, now I'm Jeremy Clarkson's neighbour!' Superfan wins £5m mansion for just £25
A 'CLARKSON'S Farm' fan has scooped a £5million house - and it's right next door to Jeremy Clarkson. Anthony Martin bagged the keys to a stunning 17th century Cotswolds home - as well as £250,000 in cash. 16 16 It came after the 25-year-old won the latest Omaze draw. The five-bedroom mansion, situated in sprawling countryside, boasts an outdoor heated pool. Anthony said: "I've been watching Clarkson's Farm and I can't believe he's going to be my neighbour now, it's just crazy. "At 25 I hadn't even considered owning so much as a garden shed yet, but now my first property is a £5 million house - it's so surreal." The jackpot winner, who lives in Cambridgeshire, bought his ticket for just £25. And, he only started entering the Omaze draws last month. Anthony has been working as a deckhand on yachts for the past year. He added: "I was backpacking in Spain when Omaze got in touch to tell me I'd won something. "I didn't have any credit on my phone, so I didn't see any of the missed calls or emails at first, but when I eventually topped up and saw all the messages, I started to think I might have won something pretty decent. "When Omaze actually called me to say I'd won the £5 million house in the Cotswolds, I was stunned. Musician wiped out on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire after using two lifelines on tough Spice Girls question - but would you know it? ''That's not a call you get everyday, I just couldn't believe it, I was in total shock. I had to call them back to make sure it was real. "One minute I'm staying in a hostel, in a 15-bed dorm, then the next thing I know I'm a multimillionaire-that was an unexpected upgrade for sure. "I had a couple of beers to celebrate, but nothing too wild as I had to be up early-not that it made much difference as I probably only slept for 20 mins, my mind was whirring trying to process what had just happened." The lavish property is even sweeter as it's mortgage free and has all legal fees covered. 16 16 16 16 16 16 Anthony has also been given an eye-watering £250,000 in cash, to help him decorate the home to his liking. Although it already offers a whopping £180,000 worth of furnishings. If the 25-year-old chooses to rent out the luxurious pad, estate agents recon he could rake in up to £18,000 per month. "This is my first time in the Cotswolds and I can see what all the fuss is about, it's beautiful around here," said Anthony. "The house is stunning, the walk-in fridge is bigger than my current kitchen… and that's just the fridge. "Everything has been done so nicely, I love it. I'm looking forward to diving into the pool and hosting all my friends and family in such an amazing house. "I've been working as a deckhand on yachts for the past year, so I'm more used to sleeping below deck in cramped bunk beds than places like this-I can stand up straight in this place for a start. "We'll be having a huge family Christmas here. There are around twenty of us and I'm normally the one who ends up sleeping on the floor, but now I'm guaranteed a bed as I'll be hosting everyone else for change. "I don't know what I'll do yet, I've got a lot to think about, but this win has changed my life forever-my future is sorted now, whatever I decide to do, it's an incredible feeling." The south-facing mansion comes with two reception rooms, exposed wooden beams and all the original fireplaces. A spacious bespoke kitchen and dining areas are already kitted out with state-of-the art appliances. The beautiful terrace leads on to a heated outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by stone decking. 16 16 16 16 It also boasts its own changing room and shower facilities. And, if the main property wasn't enough, there's a two-bed detached cottage guest house too. The pristine landscaped gardens will also make for breathtaking views. As well as changing Anthony's life forever, this Omaze Million Pound House Draw raised £4.2 million for Guide Dogs. Over two million people in the UK are living with sight loss-a number projected to double by 2050.

Worth a lot more than Diddly Squat! Clarkson's Farm fan, 25, wins £5m 17th century Cotswolds house - and is delighted the TV star will be his new neighbour
A Clarkson's Farm fan has won a £5million 17th century house in the Costwolds - where he will become Jeremy's new neighbour. Anthony Martin has celebrated winning a five-bedroom country house in the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw. The 25-year-old's new home comes with a heated pool and stunning views of the Cotswolds countryside. He has also won £250,000 in cash and can choose to live in the house, rent it out for a supplementary income or sell it to become a cash multi-millionaire. Anthony has become the second youngest Omaze Grand Prize winner and his mansion only cost him £25, having only started his subscription last month. The deckhand was born in Asia and currently lives with his family in Cambridgeshire. Anthony revealed he'd never been to the Cotswolds before, but is a fan of Clarkson's Farm saying he 'can't believe I'm pretty much Jeremy's neighbour now'. Anthony said he was backpacking in Spain when he heard the news of his win. He said: 'I didn't have any credit on my phone, so I didn't see any of the missed calls or emails at first, but when I eventually topped up and saw all the messages, I started to think I might have won something pretty decent.

Clarkson's Farm fan wins £5m Omaze draw home next door to Jeremy
Anthony Martin, 25, was staying in a hostel before he scooped the keys to a 17th century, five-bedroom property - complete with period features, a heated outdoor pool and sweeping countryside views A Clarkson's Farm fan has just landed the ultimate prize - a £5 million Cotswolds home and £250,000 in cash, making him Jeremy Clarkson 's new neighbour. Anthony Martin, 25, scooped the keys to a 17th century, five-bedroom property complete with period features, a heated outdoor pool and sweeping countryside views. 'I've been watching Clarkson's Farm and I can't believe he's going to be my neighbour now, it's just crazy,' the lucky winner said. 'At 25 I hadn't even considered owning so much as a garden shed yet, but now my first property is a £5 million house - it's so surreal.' Born in Asia and now living with his family in Cambridgeshire, Anthony bought his winning entry for just £25 through his new Omaze subscription, which he only just signed up for last month. Until now, he had been working as a deckhand on yachts and said he is 'more used to sleeping below deck in cramped bunk beds, rather than mansions'. Anthony, who was backpacking in Spain when he got the news, added: 'When Omaze actually called me to say I'd won the £5 million house in the Cotswolds, I was stunned. That's not a call you get everyday, I just couldn't believe it, I was in total shock. I had to call them back to make sure it was real.

I had a couple of beers to celebrate, but nothing too wild as I had to be up early - not that it made much difference as I probably only slept for 20 mins, my mind was whirring trying to process what had just happened.' The luxurious home comes mortgage free and with all legal fees covered and £180,000 worth of furnishings. Anthony also pocketed £250,000 in cash to help him settle in. He can move in, rent it out or sell up and become a multi-millionaire. If he opts to rent, local estate agents estimate it could fetch between £13,000 and £18,000 per month. He said: 'I don't know what I'll do yet, I've got a lot to think about, but this win has changed my life forever—my future is sorted now, whatever I decide to do, it's an incredible feeling. 'The house is stunning, the walk-in fridge is bigger than my current kitchen… and that's just the fridge! Everything has been done so nicely, I love it.

There are around twenty of us and I'm normally the one who ends up sleeping on the floor, but now I'm guaranteed a bed as I'll be hosting everyone else for change." Anthony's new Cotswolds home is the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury. The stone-built, south-facing property is drenched in natural light and packed with period features - mullion windows, exposed beams and original fireplaces - all paired with sleek contemporary comforts. Inside, the spacious layout includes two elegant reception rooms and a high-end, bespoke kitchen that opens out onto a sun-soaked terrace. Outside, there's a heated pool, stone decking, a changing room and shower facilities. There's also a self-contained, two-bed guest cottage, ideal for hosting friends and family. The grounds are equally impressive: landscaped gardens, a Roman well, a kitchen garden, and a footbridge leading to a private wildflower meadow and peaceful lake. As well as making Anthony a multimillionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Cotswolds, raised £4.2million for Guide Dogs. Andrew Lennox, CEO at Guide Dogs said: 'We are truly overwhelmed that an incredible £4.2million has been raised for Guide Dogs through the Omaze Million Pound House Draw.
