Widow wins 'breathtaking' £4m Omaze home in Scottish Highlands

A widow from Southampton said her late husband will be “smiling down on the family” after she scooped a stunning house in the Scottish Highlands worth £4 million - along with £250,000 in cash - for just £25.

Stunning home by Loch Rannoch

Patricia Moule (81) has won the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw, in Scotland, and is now the proud owner of a contemporary 4-bedroom property that sits on the shores of Loch Rannoch in Perthshire. Her spectacular new house offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding Scottish Highlands, including the Black Woods of Rannoch and the Southern Rannoch mountains, as well as its very own all-weather tennis court.

Back in 2012, Patricia shed five stone so she could give her husband of more than 55 years, David, one of her kidneys for a lifesaving operation. The operation was a success, but sadly David passed away from prostate cancer in 2019.

‘Like something from a film’

Former Personal Manager Patricia said that David would be ‘beyond happy’ about her big win and will be “smiling down on the family because he’d absolutely love this place and would know what a difference winning it will make”.

Overjoyed Patricia celebrated the win with a ‘nice gin & tonic’. She added: “It's breath-taking up here, it's like something from a film, come to think of it I must watch Braveheart now I own a home in Scotland!”

“The house is enormous, it might take me a week to look around the place, I think I'll need a map! I can’t believe I’ve got a loch at the end of my garden, it's just incredible. The scenery is spectacular, I’ve never seen anything so beautiful in all my life.”

House with private jetty

Patricia, originally from East London, has lived in her current 3-bedroom house in Southampton for 17 years. Patricia’s truly tranquil new property has its own private stone jetty, offering plenty of opportunities for fishing and sailing.

The kitchen includes a large island, with all worktops finished in Caithness Stone and brushed stainless steel. All appliances are either Miele or Gaggenau and there is a large Everhot stove with a separate gas hob.

A summer house looks out over the loch and features two stained-glass windows which were salvaged from St Paul’s Newington Church, Edinburgh. The summer house was built in the vernacular style by Sir James Menter for his beloved wife.

Raised money for Alzheimer’s Research

As well as making Patricia a multimillionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Scotland, raised £3.9 million for Alzheimer's Research UK.

Hilary Evans-Newton, Alzheimer’s Research UK’s Chief Executive, said: “We are thrilled that the Omaze Million Pound House draw in Scotland raised an incredible amount of £3.9 million for Alzheimer’s Research UK.”

James Oakes, President of Omaze, said: “Everyone at Omaze is elated that Patricia and her family have won this breathtaking house in Scotland, whilst also contributing to our huge raise for Alzheimer's Research UK, who we’ve now raised a total of £8 million for over three incredible partnerships.
