A mum-of-two is the winner of a luxurious £4M home - after her husband initially thought they'd won a lifetime supply of sausages.

Emily Ward, 48, is now the proud owner of a striking four-bedroom home in the exclusive Alderley Edge Conservation Area.

The property in Cheshire's Golden Triangle is a hotbed for Premier League footballers and celebrities.

Her new home - won in the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw - comes complete with panoramic countryside views, a full indoor leisure suite and landscaped gardens.

Emily said: "At first, my husband thought we'd won a lifetime supply of sausages, but then we realised it was actually a £4 million house instead, now that's a real banger.

"My jaw hurts because I haven't stopped smiling since we found out.

"When I told my friends, they were so happy for us but just kept saying 'you're joking' no one could believe it. I still don't think I believe it."

Famed for its privacy, natural beauty and high-end village lifestyle, Alderley Edge is a long-time favourite among Premier League footballers and celebrities.

Famous residents past and present include Cristiano Ronaldo, Sir David and Victoria Beckham, Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy. 

Emily's new home comes mortgage-free, with all legal fees covered. and an additional £250K in cash to help her settle in.

When Omaze first arrived at Emily's house to tell her that they'd scooped a prize, she and husband Richard, 60, were out buying tent pegs for a new campervan, so neighbours reached out to her.

Emily, from Devon, added: "One of the Omaze team had a sandwich on their t-shirt — so the neighbour thought I'd won a lifetime supply of food.

"They posted in the WhatsApp group and I replied, 'If it's not Omaze or Premium Bonds, I'm not interested.' A few minutes later, Omaze were on the doorstep."

An overjoyed Emily added: "My husband thought we might have won a lifetime's supply of sausages — which he was genuinely thrilled about. 

"Winning this house is more a case of bangers and cash.

"I said we can cook all the sausages he wants in the new house, so my husband is doubly happy."

Emily's new home combines bold modern architecture with elegant natural finishes- featuring dramatic cantilevers, walls of glass and recessed balconies—offering more than 6,300 sq ft of light-filled living space across three floors.

It boasts a a walk-in wine store and a full leisure suite complete with an indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and gym with dedicated changing facilities.

Outside, Emily's Cheshire red sandstone home sits on a private road and spans more than half an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, featuring terraced lawns and herbaceous borders. A path leads to a standalone home office tucked into a secluded corner of the garden- offering Emily a peaceful spot to work or unwind.

"The house is spectacular — I can see why it's so popular with millionaire footballers," Emily said.

"It's crazy to think that I might bump into Wayne or Coleen Rooney when popping out for a pint of milk.

"The house has got everything you could ever possibly want—a swimming pool, sauna, gym, wine store, incredible countryside views—It's definitely in the premier league of houses.

"We can't wait to jump into the pool and test out the sauna — I wish I'd brought my costume."

Emily, who has worked in the same career for 25 years, had always dreamed of scaling back on work to spend more quality time with her husband, their children and the family dogs – but didn't imagine it would ever become a reality. 

"People say that money can't buy time, but winning a house worth millions means we can finally work less and spend more time together," she said.

"This win will give us the freedom to go on adventures. We'd actually just bought a campervan to try and go away more as a family — it's fair to say winning this house is a bit of an upgrade on a campervan."

The couple, who have a large family between them — Richard has three grown-up children in their 30s and four grandchildren — are looking forward to hosting in the luxury kitchen and stunning outdoor terrace area.

Emily added: "This win means we can think about cutting back on work and just enjoying spending more time as a family.

"I've always said if I ever won something like this, I'd focus on enjoying life properly. Now that dream's suddenly a reality.

"It means I can finally take a breath after 25 years of working flat out. It's not just a win, it gives us so many incredible opportunities for the future.

"It changes everything — not just for us, but for our children too. 

"Thanks to the £250,000 we also get as part of our win, we could afford to stay here for years if we decided to. Or maybe we'll rent it out to a new Man City signing?

"All of this for just £25 - it's unbelievable! The only thing I'd won before was a bottle of orange squash in the tombola at the kid's school fair, I didn't even win the wine."
