Mike Keen, who owns the property and built it, said: “There’s a lot of discussion about the price at the minute but it would cost you around £5 million to build a house like this these days so someone is going to win it for a £25 ticket.
“It’s a stunning property and I built it so I should know.
“No one has this kind of money in the area if it was in Newcastle or Middlesbrough it would have sold straight away to a footballer probably.
“But sadly it’s a bit too far away, even though the motorway isn’t a long way away it’s just a little bit too far out for them.
“We should be putting this area up really, not putting down and encouraging people to come here and invest in this area and bring jobs to the area.
“It’ll last for six months so we still have a little while and I’m hoping people might treat their friends for Christmas presents and things.
“We’ll just keep our fingers crossed that it all works out and someone is lucky.”
