Lego fans could get a home built with toy bricks - with views of tourist hotspots

It is the ultimate location for a family home with views of iconic Paris landmark the Eiffel Tower and stunning Leeds Castle in Kent.

The money can’t buy plot has been listed by online estate agent Purplebricks but there is a catch - it’s in a newly available area of Legoland ’s Miniland.

And one lucky family will get the chance to see their home recreated to scale in Lego in the desirable 110cm x 100cm space which also boasts stunning views of a miniature Sacre Coeur which dominates Montmartre, Paris.

According to the Purplebricks listing, the unique site has “an amazingly diverse selection of world-famous landmarks just a short walk away such as St Paul’s Cathedral, The London Eye and even Times Square”.

Lego’s team of model makers will build the mini home, complete with a car in the driveway and even tiny models of the family for the winner of a competition to mark the opening of its The Brick play area attraction at Legoland Windsor this spring.

The Berkshire resort’s chief model maker Paula Laughton said: “To celebrate the idea of the family home as an amazing space where kids and parents play, build and bring Lego imaginations to life, we have decided to list a plot at Miniland for the first time in the resort’s 25-year history.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for one lucky family to have their home, their car and even themselves built out of Lego bricks in Miniland.”

And Purplebricks managing director, Tom Greenacre, added: “We’re delighted to bring to market this unique development opportunity.

“The plot - measuring 110cm x 100cm - is perfectly situated for those with a passion for travel, culture and architecture. This is a brilliant opportunity to build a second home in a very prestigious location.”

The competition runs until March 7 and more information is available at legoland.co.uk/minilandhome.
