Vicky Curtis-Cresswell, 38, had never owned her own home and was living with her family before she won the spectacular property.

Vicky, originally from Caerphilly, stated that winning the luxury Blakeney property in an Omaze competition three months ago had "changed her life forever".

Before she won the huge prize she lived with her husband, Dale, 41, and their young daughter at her in-laws' three-bedroom house in Caerphilly as the family searched for a rental property.

However, her intention to sell the multi-million-pound mansion is currently on hold after an investigation revealed that the Larkfields property was constructed differently from the approved plans.

When the win was announced, Vicky said she hoped to sell the mansion to "buy another amazing house somewhere in Wales".

Omaze, a company that purchases luxury properties as competition prizes to raise funds for charity, has pledged to rectify a series of planning breaches and cover any associated costs before transferring ownership.
