What happens when a couple wins a mansion through the Omaze house draw? For Paul Knight and Jason Snowdon, it means selling their stunning Batheaston House, which is now listed for £4 million. This remarkable property, steeped in history, was part of the estate of Sir John Harington, the inventor of the first flushing toilet.
Paul and Jason, who tied the knot in the mansion just six months ago, have decided to move on after winning not only the house but also a cash prize of £250,000. “When we first won the house, we joked it was fit for royalty, so it felt only right that we have our wedding here,” Paul shared, reflecting on the special memories created in their home.
Batheaston House boasts six bedrooms and has been meticulously restored to preserve its historical features dating back to the mid-1500s. The couple even rented the property out as a holiday let for £4,000 a week, showcasing its appeal to visitors seeking a luxurious stay in Bath.
The house includes modern amenities such as a home cinema and a hot tub, blending contemporary comforts with historical charm. After their wedding, the couple has enjoyed their time in the mansion, but they are now looking to invest in another home and expand their portfolio of holiday lets.
In a related story, Steph Churchill recently celebrated her win of £1 million in the Omaze Monthly Millionaire Draw. Her excitement was palpable as she exclaimed, “I just screamed and gave my husband a big kiss and massive hug.” Such moments highlight the joy that the Omaze draws bring to winners.
As Paul and Jason prepare for the next chapter of their lives, the sale of Batheaston House marks a significant moment not just for them but for the community as well. The property, with its rich history and modern upgrades, is sure to attract attention from potential buyers looking for a unique home in Bath.
Details remain unconfirmed about who might purchase this iconic mansion next, but the legacy of Batheaston House will undoubtedly continue, whether through new owners or as a cherished memory for its past inhabitants.
