    A student nurse who was forced to couch surf because of the UK's rental crisis has won a \u00a35m house in one of the UK's most posh places \u2013 and could rent it out for a fortune each month.<\/p>\n

    Oceanne Belle, 49, was struggling to afford her studies after her landlord increased her rent. But she's had the last laugh after winning a stunning Chelsea townhouse worth a whopping \u00a35,000,000.<\/p>\n

    And she's also bagged \u00a3100,000 in cash thanks to the Omaze prize draw, which ironically is part of a campaign that raised \u00a32,600,000 for an NHS charity.<\/p>\n

    Her new four-storey home, which she won with a \u00a310 ticket, is in the sought-after Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The property is also the most valuable house ever to be won in a UK prize draw. The beautiful townhouse comes mortgage-free, with all stamp duty and legal fees covered. Oceanne is free to either live in the house, rent it out or sell it to become a cash multi-millionaire.<\/p>\n

    Local estate agents estimate that the property could achieve a long-term rental value of around \u00a3140,000 a year. Oceanne studies full-time at the University of Sunderland in London, and and will finish her BSc (Bachelor of Science) degree in Health and Social Care in January. Originally from the Seychelles, Oceanne has lived in London for 19 years with her long-term partner 56 year old Messaoud, nicknamed Didine.<\/p>\n
