Don’t be disheartened by news that your dream of a two bedroom hardyplank on a subdivided quarter acre paradise in the backblocks of Henderson may not be financially realistic, here’s a 17 room place even you can afford. The catch is, it’s in Yorkshire.

A retired couple, who can’t sell their mansion because the asking price is too high for the area, are instead offering it as a prize in a raffle…

For £60 (NZD$160) anyone can enter the online lottery and have a chance at winning this 300 year old home on a three acre site, valued at £650,000 (NZD$1.7 million). Entries are limited to 25,000.

Anyone with an ornate villa in they can’t shift in Helensville would be well advised to try this.
