House + Cash
Although the owners don't provide details about running costs of the property, the £50,000 cash prize is a useful extra.

Note that as this is a spot the ball competition the "right answer" is determined by a panel. According to the terms this will be "an independent panel of three judges" appointed by the promoter. Details of those judges are not given.
