Portsmouth house raffle: How to enter the £10 draw to win £3.2m Winton House on Portsdown Hill

Winton House, in Portsdown Hill Road, was fully renovated in 2012 and boasts a whopping 372sqm of living space over two floors.

It also has an indoor pool and a two-bedroom annex at the end of its garden, with a detached orangery, a water fountain and an 11m upstairs terrace to boot.

The house, pictured, is being raffled off by a businessman in his 50s who hopes to downsize and travel the world after it finds its lucky new owner.

Where can I see more pictures of Winton House?

We’ve published more than a dozen stunning photographs taken inside and outside the house so you can take a look around.

You can view the collection here, where you will also find our interview with the property’s current owner.

He spilled the beans on why he’s moving out and what features Winton House’s potential new owner may enjoy the most.

How does the raffle work?

The raffle is being held online, costs £10 to enter, and you must correctly answer a simple general knowledge question to be in with a shot of winning.

The raffle will close at 6pm on December 22, 2020, before a winner is announced two days later in a live event at 7pm on Christmas Eve.

The winner, who must be over 18 and be willing to be named for transparency, will also be given news of their victory over a phone call.

It is hoped the number of £10 entries will eventually equal the owner’s £3.2m valuation of the property, making it financially feasible to give it away as a prize.

If however this sum is not reached, the property’s owner will decide whether or not the cash raised is sufficient to still give away the house.

If it’s deemed too low, the money raised by the raffle will instead be given away as the top prize.

Anyone who wins the house would not have to pay any legal fees or stamp duty and would be its rightful owner.
