Police officer wins sprawling mansion with hot tub and gym for just £2

A police officer has won a mansion with a hot-tub for just £2.

Alison Bellamy, from Telford, scooped the stunning Shropshire home in a property raffle.

The 49-year-old can kick back in the sizeable dwelling after spending time on the front line of the coronavirus crisis as a West Mercia police officer, the Coventry Telegraph reported.

The house comes with three acres of land, a gym, a hot tub and an sprawling lawn.

The stunning six-bedroom farmhouse was put up for raffle by home owners Nigel and Jane Chaloner, who want to raise funds to support the work of Severn Hospice after they were both infected with coronavirus.

The generous couple raffled their Grafton Farm home in a prize draw at £2 per ticket.

Nigel and Jane have raised their family and 22 foster children at the farm over the past 18 years.

Around the time they put the house up for sale, they couple both fell ill with Covid-19.

After recovering from the disease, they decided to try and raise £100,000 for the hospice.

Norma Ross, director of income generation at Severn Hospice, said: “Thanks so much to Nigel and Sarah Jane for their incredibly generous offer. Support such as theirs enables us to care for people with incurable illness in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales. 

"In the current climate of COVID-19 crisis, this kind of support is really valuable to us as we have lost some of our most vital income streams.

"People can support us from their sofas by taking part in the draw while, at the same time, be in with the chance to win a fully furnished, beautiful country home.  We wish everyone the best of luck with the competition."
