Omaze has unveiled its latest prize house in Surrey Hills, partnering with Breast Cancer Now charity. Located in Farley Green within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this fully furnished smart home comes with £250,000 cash, with Omaze stating it will pay stamp duty land tax and reasonable, pre-approved conveyancing costs.
Where Film Sets Meet Real Life
The 4,615 square foot property sits in ancient woodland surroundings near villages that have served as film backdrops for productions like “The Holiday” and “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.” The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home features an unconventional layout with ground-floor bedrooms and an open-plan upper level that maximizes natural light and countryside views.
Press coverage and Omaze materials list ground-source heat pumps and solar panels; press reports also name a Tesla Powerwall battery. These sustainable technologies provide practical energy efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
Outside, a heated pool and landscaped gardens extend the living space, with outdoor kitchen facilities offering entertainment options regardless of season.
The Complete Package
The prize includes:
- Property valued “over £4,000,000” by Omaze in marketing; the Surrey II Experience Rules give an ARV of £4,500,000
- Fully furnished interiors (ARV: £160,000)
- £250,000 to help with settling-in/initial running costs
- Omaze says it will pay stamp duty land tax and reasonable, pre-approved conveyancing fees; winners remain responsible for other taxes and ongoing costs
Winners can “Live In. Rent Out. Sell Up.” according to Omaze’s materials. For those considering rental income, Omaze estimates potential monthly revenue of £15,000.
The kitchen features integrated Miele appliances as stated by Omaze; press coverage mentions Poggenpohl cabinetry. Smart home technology throughout allows for seamless control of heating, lighting, and security systems.
Charity Impact
This draw supports Breast Cancer Now, with Omaze guaranteeing a £1,000,000 donation to the charity. According to their website, this donation “will enable Breast Cancer Now to support a research team for over three years, paving the way for breakthroughs that could transform breast cancer treatment and survival.”

The Surrey Hills location provides countryside living with accessibility to London, combining rural charm with practical commuting options. Nearby villages include Shere and Shamley Green, known for their picturesque settings. According to Omaze, Guildford Train Station is 7 miles away (with trains to Waterloo taking around 33 minutes), and the A25 connects to the A3 for a fast link to London (40 miles away).
What Makes This House Different
The property’s renewable energy systems demonstrate practical sustainability at scale. Ground source heat pumps extract warmth from the earth, providing reliable heating with minimal environmental impact.
Solar panels with battery storage let the household use more self-generated electricity and reduce grid dependence, especially outside peak tariff times.
The indoor-outdoor design creates continuous living spaces where the distinction between inside and outside becomes less defined. This approach maximizes usable space while connecting residents to the natural surroundings.
Entries start at £10. The marketing frames the prize as mortgage-free with Omaze covering stamp duty and approved conveyancing costs; the winner also receives £250,000 cash. The house’s renewable systems could reduce energy bills, but Omaze does not guarantee utility payments.
