Clarkson’s Farm Fan Anthony Martin Wins Luxury Cotswolds Home in Life-Changing Omaze Draw
If you asked Anthony Martin a week ago if he’d ever live next door to Jeremy Clarkson, the answer would've been a flat-out no. Yet on June 6, 2025, the 25-year-old from Cambridgeshire had his life take a surreal turn. Thanks to a £25 ticket in the latest Omaze charity draw, Anthony now holds the keys to a £5 million home nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds—just steps from Clarkson’s famous Diddly Squat Farm.
The whole thing almost sounds too wild to be true. One minute he’s catching up on the latest from Clarkson's Farm, the Amazon Prime show that’s made Diddly Squat a household name. The next, he’s fielding congratulations from friends and family, and chatting with reporters about joining one of Britain’s most talked-about neighborhoods. The announcement went viral after Omaze revealed Anthony as the winner, with his video interview capturing his dumbfounded reaction. “It doesn’t feel real at all,” he admitted, standing against the backdrop of his new, sprawling countryside retreat.
The property itself is the stuff of glossy magazine dreams—think honey-stone walls, sweeping lawns, polished fittings, and views stretching over classic Cotswold hills. It’s a striking contrast to Anthony’s old life back in Cambridgeshire. For fans of the show, the chance to rub shoulders with Jeremy Clarkson sounds like a one-in-a-million shot. Yet for Anthony, a bit of fun and the hope of supporting a good cause turned into a jackpot. And yes, the proximity to Diddly Squat Farm has already fueled a mix of giddy nerves and excitement. Would anyone not be starstruck, knowing there’s a chance of bumping into Clarkson at the village shop?
Omaze, the platform that made it all happen, has built a reputation in the UK for its high-profile home draws supporting charity. Participants buy tickets for the chance to win properties people usually only see on TV—and at the same time, the money flows to a chosen cause. While the exact charity supported in this round wasn’t the talk of headlines, what stands out is the impact: for £25, not only does Anthony transform his life, but a significant sum is raised for those in need. The charity aspect adds a feel-good layer to the sheer luck of such wins.
What Happens After the Dream Win?
It’s not just the bricks and mortar that Anthony now calls his own. This house comes with a new chapter—celebrity neighbors, cobbled Cotswold lanes, and a lifestyle change most only dream about. The reveal, posted online by Omaze, got plenty of reactions, and the video of Anthony touring his new home soon did the rounds. There’s curiosity: How will a 25-year-old adjust to the trappings of a high-value rural estate? How will his relationship with Clarkson—the very icon of the Cotswolds on screen—play out?
The Omaze campaign itself has become a modern fixture in UK fundraising—a mix of glitzy prizes, social media buzz, and stories like Anthony’s that explode in chat groups and news feeds. People debate if these draws are luck, fate, or just clever marketing, but it’s clear they catch the public imagination. When you throw in a neighbor as known as Jeremy Clarkson, the story practically writes itself.
For Anthony, there are practical questions ahead—upkeep, council tax, maybe the odd local pap hoping for a snap of him and Jeremy trading tips on tractors. But right now, he’s just soaking up the wild, head-spinning ride. For broadcast fans, maybe the next series of Clarkson’s Farm will feature the unexpected new arrival next door. For everyone else, Anthony’s win is a bucket-list fantasy—proof that every so often, ordinary people do get handed the keys to something extraordinary.
