The eventual winner will receive the keys to a beautiful five-bedroom home in Prestbury, one of the most exclusive areas in the country.

But the fantastic draw is also aimed at raising £1 million for the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK, which has been set up to continue the work of bowel cancer sufferer and campaigner Deborah.

The mother-of-two and journalist was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer in 2016 and subsequently presented the You, Me and the Big C podcast on BBC Radio 5 Live about her struggles with her disease, raising awareness of the disease.

Deborah sadly passed away in June 2022 at the age of just 40, but the charity lives on in her name.

Her mother, Heather James, said of the partnership: “Deborah’s awareness and fundraising made a huge difference to so many people’s lives.

“Through this partnership with Omaze, we hope to raise more money for the groundbreaking cancer research she was so passionate about and make a difference to the lives of many more people.”

The Omaze Million Pound House Draw in Cheshire is the company’s 25th house draw and returns to the site where the very first Omaze house was given away in 2020.

The property is mortgage free and all stamp duty and legal costs are covered.

The winner will also receive £100,000 in cash and can decide to live in the house, rent it out for additional income or sell it to become a cash multi-millionaire.

If the winner decides to rent it out, local agents estimate the property could reach a long-term rental value of £20,000 per month.

The house is located in Cheshire’s Golden Triangle, between Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Prestbury – famous for being the home of football stars and celebrities.

And this prime level property has been carefully designed to provide a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary style.

It contains a mix of brick, sandstone details and wooden cladding.

The impressive 7,000 m² new build property is surrounded by manicured grounds, including south-facing gardens to the rear and an enclosed private driveway with ample parking.

The house has a hall with a gallery and a characteristic staircase.

Large windows not only provide beautiful views, but also fill the house with natural light, creating a light and airy atmosphere inside, in addition to the high ceilings and impressive room proportions.

The main reception rooms have French doors giving access to the gardens and terrace, which receives light all day with a south-facing aspect.

The heart of the house is the spacious open kitchen, living and dining room.

The custom-made handmade kitchen is equipped with various integrated Miele appliances, a coffee station, a large central island and a walk-in pantry with French doors to the rear terrace.

The main living room has several French doors that also open onto the backyard.

The ground floor also has a cinema room, a study with beautiful views over the front of the house and a home gym complete with shower room.

There is home audio and underfloor heating on the entire ground floor.

The first floor features five generous bedrooms, three of which have en-suite bathrooms with built-in dressing areas.

The master bedroom suite has a large walk-in dressing room, a beautifully appointed bathroom with a walk-in rain shower, tiled bath and a large hidden backlit television.

The largest bedroom even has its own night kitchen – with built-in refrigerator – and windows overlooking the backyard.

The remaining two bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and share the family bathroom.

Outside there is a double garage with electric doors and a separate suite above with its own entrance and use of the ground floor shower room.

To the front of the property there are box hedges and plantings with additional lawns and large south facing gardens to the rear with lawns, mature hedges, plant borders and a large patio spanning the full width of the house with external speakers, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.

The sought after village of Prestbury is a short walk from the property and is renowned for its range of luxury shops, eateries and schools including the new Kings School Macclesfield, along with a tennis club, park and train station giving easy access to Manchester and London.

The Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Cheshire, will not only make the lucky top prize winner a multi-millionaire, but will also raise money for the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK.

Established to continue the incredible legacy of Dame Deborah James, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016 at the age of 35 and who went on to become a tireless campaigner and fundraiser.

Around 44,100 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in Britain every year – making it the fourth most common cancer in Britain and the second most common cause of death from cancer.

The Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK aims to give more people more time with the people they love by funding ground-breaking research and raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer.

Mum Heather, 66, told The Sun: “I’m so excited – it’s guaranteed £1 million for Deborah’s Bowelbabe Fund.

“That’s an awful lot of money. I am very aware that we will never be able to generate the level of fundraising that Deborah did in the weeks before she died, so something like this is incredible.

“As a family, we are so proud of Deborah’s legacy, and it is an honor to continue what she started.

“She would be so excited if an Omaze house was dedicated to her Fund, she loved it and always entered the draws.

‘Her brother Ben thinks it’s a shame that he can’t win this house, he has a standing order every month.

“It’s such a beautiful home and it will be a wonderful opportunity for a family to enjoy new beginnings and new memories together.

“And that fits so well with the Bowelbabe Fund: more money is raised to finance more research to help save more lives.

“The money raised will ensure families like ours have the opportunity to make new memories with their loved ones.”

Heather highlighted her daughter’s fundraising spirit, adding: “I can just hear her now, I know she would say ‘let’s go ahead and get it to £3 million’.

“So I can’t help it… wouldn’t it be great if we could reach at least £2 million.”

Dame Deborah James died in June 2022 at the age of 40, five and a half years after she was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer.

At the time, the mother-of-two shared her experiences of living with incurable cancer with millions of people, giving a candid account in her Sun column Things Cancer Made Me Say.

She then launched the You, Me & The Big C podcast on the BBC and was a regular on Lorraine’s sofa, as well as writing two self-help books.

With only days to live in May 2022, Dame Debs launched her Bowelbabe Fund to fund vital research “to give one last f*** you to cancer, and give more Deborahs more time”.

The inspirational campaigner captured the hearts of the nation and smashed her £250,000 target in one day.

She was stunned when donations gained momentum, reaching £1 million within days.

When Debs died on June 28, the total amount was almost £7 million – more than her wildest dreams.

Knowing that one of the 40-year-old’s dying wishes was for it to reach £10 million, The Sun called on readers to donate in her memory.

Last April, her proud husband Sebastian revealed that the Fund had reached a whopping £11.3 million – and has since risen to £12.6 million.

In footage filmed just before she passed away, Dame Debs thanked the more than 330,000 people who donated.

“Every cent counts. I can’t thank you enough for your support.

“You’re amazing,” she said.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Seb revealed that the first £4 million would go towards funding five different projects in partnership with Cancer Research UK, The Institute of Cancer Research, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and Bowel Cancer UK – all charities near Dame. The heart of Debs.

And earlier this month it was announced that a further £5 million will be spent to fund a new study that will help shed light on an alarming rise in bowel cancer rates among the over-50s.

This is the second time that Cancer Research UK has partnered with Omaze.

The first partnership in 2021 has raised £500,000 for the charity’s vital work, creating a world where everyone can live a longer, better life, free from the fear of cancer.

Omaze has guaranteed a minimum donation of £1 million from this partnership.

James Oakes, Chief International Officer at Omaze, said: “We are really excited to be back where it all started for our 25th home in beautiful Cheshire – and to be working with Cancer Research UK for the second time to support the Bowelbabe Fund to support Cancer Research UK.

“By offering this beautiful property in Cheshire, along with £100,000 in cash, Omaze is giving people the chance to win life-changing prizes that can help them get a mortgage or rent a free life.

“In addition to raising money for charities, Omaze introduces them to new audiences that they would not otherwise reach.

“We are extremely proud that the Omaze community has already raised more than £34 million for charities across the UK.”
