WITH two similar-sounding titles, The Great Big House Giveaway by Kingswood Homes could easily be confused with the hit Channel 4 TV show, The Great House Giveaway…
But there’s one very obvious difference that sets them apart – and it’s not just the absence of chirpy hosts Simon O’Brien and Tayo Oguntonade from the homebuilder’s amazing property prize draw.
While the top telly show requires hard work and cash to renovate a property to bring it up to scratch for the chance to win just a share of the sale profits, Kingswood’s amazing Great Big House Giveaway offers the chance to win a quality, ready-to-move into brand-new home worth £250,000, for as little as £5.
“And it’s not just the obvious and better potential prize at the end of it that makes our Great Big House Giveaway the clear ratings winner,” says Lesley Myers, sales director for Kingswood.
“As well as the lucky contender taking the keys to a beautiful home at our flagship Green Hills development in Feniscowles, Blackburn, which we are donating, nearby Derian House Children’s Hospice will hopefully be rewarded with £300,000 to continue the incredible work it does to help and support children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.”
The Great Big House Giveaway in aid of Derian House graced TV screens when the ground breaking was featured on Granada Tonight. The Kingswood team have also been in front of the camera in a music video for their reworked version of the Madness classic Our House to promote the giveaway*.
BAFTA-winning show The Great House Giveaway follows teams of two people, who have never met and never owned a home, and who are given a lump sum to buy a property at auction. They have six months to refurbish and refresh the property after which they can sell it and split any profits.
But Kingswood’s Byre home that’s up for grabs needs no such attention. The three-bedroom detached home features a living room at the front and a generous combined kitchen, dining and family area extending the width of the impressive property at the rear.
A handy utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor, while there are three bedrooms, the main with en-suite, and a family bathroom upstairs.
Best of all, it will be build complete and beautifully finished ready for one lucky winner to enjoy living there as soon as the prize draw is declared.
Bundles of tickets start from just £5 for six entries to win the Byre 3 home in the draw, with every penny going to Derian House to enable it to continue its valuable work.

There will be a guaranteed winner of the prize draw to be announced at a glittering gala ball at Hoghton Tower, Preston, on September 17. Tickets for the ball are available from £2,500 for a table of 10 from Julia.jeory@kingswoodhomes.uk.com.
