Win £1.1 million house in charity raffle
A property worth £1.1 million is up for grabs in a competition to raise funds for the Black Country’s Beacon Centre.
For £5 a ticket people could win Orleton House, a six-bedroom family property which dates back to the 1580s.
The property comes with more than one acre of gardens and has its own tennis court.
Homeowner, businessman Tim Page, has decided to move on after renovating the home – and said he wanted to give someone an opportunity to win the historic property while raising funds for the Beacon Centre For The Blind.
He bought the property in 2018 after moving back to the UK following 25 years in America working in the events software business. He has spent the last two years renovating the home.
He said: “I was born and bred in the Black Country and I want to give this property to a normal, hard working person.
"Growing up in the Wolverhampton area we came to this area as kids and it was very special for us.
Important
"There aren’t many 500-year-old properties around. It sits right in the middle of a village two doors away from the pub which is owned by the villagers.
"I came off a council estate and have been successful, I kind of like the idea of a regular guy being able to own a house like that.
“An important party of it though is to raise a significant amount of money for charities as they’re having a hard time at the minute.
"The Beacon Centre for the Blind have got about 4,000 people relying on them.”
Lisa Cowley, Beacon Centre chief executive, said: “We are really happy to be part of Grand Draw, which will not only help raise much-needed funds for Beacon, but also offer someone the chance to win an absolutely amazing £1.1m pound house.”
The competition closes on April 30 – with the draw on May 7.
