A £2.5million luxury home that was won by a Midlands couple in a prize draw has been put on the market.

They described the win as ‘beyond their wildest dreams’ and went on to say that it had changed their lives forever.

However, we can exclusively reveal that the couple have no plans to keep the property in Kingsdown near Deal as the property is now on the market for sale – but this time with a higher value.

The asking price for the house called The Gunnery is £2.65million, with estate agents Strutt & Parker handling the sale.

In its marketing literature for the house, the agents described the property as ‘unique’.

The unusual property was crafted from a former second World War gun emplacement.

The agent added: ‘The Gunnery is set in a commanding position with unrivalled 180 degree views of the Channel, looking over the charming village of Kingsdown to the east, towards the iconic White Cliffs to the west and France to the south.’
