One lucky person could get their hands on a £3 million townhouse for just a tenner in a British Heart Foundation competition.
The winner of the draw will also receive £100,000 in cash to help them settle into the luxurious Victorian London house near Finsbury Park. Tottenham Hotspur star and former French international footballer, David Ginola, has backed the competition which seeks to make one person a multi-millionaire.
In the centre of the 3,400 square foot, three-storey home is a large open living space extending into the kitchen, dining space, and lavish garden. One of the property's eye-catching aesthetics is how its traditional features have been blended with a contemporary design.

Charity fundraising company Omaze partnered with BHF to put on the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw.
David Ginola said: “I’ve experienced the devastating consequences of heart disease first-hand, the money raised through Omaze’s innovative approach to fundraising will help the BHF continue its truly lifesaving research.
“The partnership between BHF and Omaze is truly magnificent, it's raising vital funds and awareness for a charity that’s incredibly important to me and millions of others who are impacted by heart and circulatory diseases.
“Everyone who enters the prize draw is contributing towards this crucial cause and of course someone is guaranteed to win the dream home in North London too, even if it’s a little too close to Arsenal for my liking.”
Omaze has already guaranteed a minimum donation of £100,000, but they reckon they could take in at least £500,000. The draw will help fund BHF's research into cures and causes of heart and circulatory diseases.
Dr Charmaine Griffiths, Chief Executive at the BHF, said: “We are absolutely delighted to join forces with Omaze once again.
"Despite phenomenal progress in research over the last 60 years, heart and circulatory diseases - including heart attack and stroke - kill one in four people in the UK and are the world’s biggest killers.
James Oakes at Omaze said: “We’re honoured to be partnering with the British Heart Foundation again for our London house draw.
"By offering this desirable townhouse, along with £100,000 in cash, we’re not only giving people the chance to live mortgage and rent-free for the rest of their life - but also raising money and introducing charities to brand new audiences.
“We’re incredibly proud that the Omaze community has already raised £8,300,000 for UK charities since we launched in 2020.”
The draw is open now and closes Sunday, February 26 for online entries, and Tuesday, February 28 for postal.
