A former Miss Wales finalist has won a £6million mansion in Norfolk as part of a record Omaze prize draw - but now faces a heated planning row with her new local council.
Vicky Curtis-Cresswell, 38, scooped the luxury property, which features a heated swimming pool and tennis court.
The luxury Norfolk mansion is inspired by architecture found in Cape Cod and the Hamptons in the US.
It boasts a wrap-around balcony offering panoramic views of the north Norfolk coastline.
The nearly 5,000 sq ft property includes a bespoke hand-built kitchen, spacious living room and three bedrooms.

Outside features include manicured gardens, a heated swimming pool and an all-weather astroturf tennis court.
The house also comes with £165,000 worth of furnishings and is situated close to Blakeney, a quintessential coastal village.
However, the mansion is at the centre of an unresolved planning dispute between Omaze and North Norfolk District Council.
The council found the home breached planning rules as it had not been built in accordance with the original application approved in 2020.
Omaze has stated it is working with the council to resolve the issue.

A spokesman said Omaze "guarantees that no house winner will ever be required to cover any costs related to resolving historic planning issues".
And in a further blow to the lucky winner, the planned live TV reveal on BBC's Red Nose Day special was pulled due to the dispute.
Curtis-Cresswell currently lives with her husband Dale, 41, and young daughter at her in-laws' three-bedroom house in South Wales.
"When Omaze first called to tell me I'd won a prize, I didn't dare dream it could be the house," she said.

"It's just crazy, one week we're worrying about our old car breaking down, the next thing we've got a £6million house."
Despite the property's luxury, she plans to sell it.
"We'll sell it to release the money and buy another amazing house somewhere in Wales," she explained.
But before the home goes on the market, Curtis-Cresswell plans to celebrate her win.
"We'll be having a big party in Norfolk before we sell up... We can't wait to invite all our friends and family," she said.
