The house comes mortgage free and with all legal fees covered, is complete with a hot tub and panoramic views of the surrounding Cornish countryside.
As well as making Rose a multi-millionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Cornwall, raised £3.1 million for WWF - the world’s leading independent conservation organisation. She added: "We didn’t think for one minute that we’d won a £3 million pound house there - things like this just don’t happen to people like us."
Rose, who retired from her job as a sales assistant at an insurance resale company after 17 years, also had a second job as a dinner lady at a local primary school. Her husband, Tony, has worked as a Gas Engineer for the past 25 years - but is now seriously considering an earlier retirement after their big win.
