Owner of £570,000 five-bedroom home with sauna raffling it off for £2.50

You could get your hands on a five-bedroom period home with sauna, detached garage and landscaped gardens for just £2.50.

Yes, you did hear that right. The owner of this gorgeous property is raffling it off for £2.50 a ticket in a once-in-a-lifetime competition that anyone can enter.

And some of the proceeds will be going to a hospice which provides end-of-life care to those dying of incurable illnesses.

The house is charming to look at and boasts a wealth of original period features such as decorative coving and ceiling roses.

Set far back from the road, it comes with landscaped gardens, a paved drive, and a detached garage.

The upper level boasts five double bedrooms, with the master and bedroom three offering the additional benefits of en-suite shower rooms.

Oh, and there's a sauna in the attic.

The house is currently valued at £570,000. The original closing date for the competition was March 2020 but has been extended to 20 December 2020 due to the  coronavirus  pandemic.

What do you say - win the raffle in time for Christmas 2020?

The property, 62 Alexander Street Airdrie, North Lanarkshire ML6 0BD, is just a 25 minute drive from arty Glasgow and 53 minutes from trendy capital of Scotland, Edinburgh.

The winner will visit McEwan Fraser Legal solicitors on East Claremont Street in Edinburgh by appointment and show a valid passport to prove their identity and sign a Transfer Document.

The owner of the house - a Mr Phil Leckie - has hit back at people who say they suspect a scam, telling EdinburghLive : "My parents still live in the area and brought me up with solid 'values'.

"I don’t need to steal and I also respect that people in life have to work extremely hard to get money.

"The £2.50 fee was to make it accessible for everyone, I just dislike the idea of people being 'priced out'."

As with any raffle or similar promotion, always be sure to stay safe and be  Gamble Aware.

You must be over 18 to enter.
