It has been one year since a star of Clarkson's Farm was selling their Cotswolds country home for £2.8 million.

The hugely popular Prime Video show began in 2021 and follows the agricultural adventures on Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire.

Former Top Gear and Grand Tour host Jeremy Clarkson bought the farm back in 2008 and has been getting to grips with running it in recent years.

Five seasons have been released so far, with last year's release of series four seeing eight episodes drop on Amazon's streaming service.

Rachel Hawkins, who helped Jeremy Clarkson get his Cotswolds pub The Farmer’s Dog up and running in the new clips, lives nearby.

The hospitality entrepreneur, who specialises in helping rundown pubs, was selling off her £2.8 million country home in a raffle this time last year in June.

The six-bedroom house can be found in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold, and entries to the draw were available from as little as £10.

After purchasing the pad in November 2015 for £750,000, Rachel set up home there with long-term partner Will Kennedy.

The 41-year-old star had chosen to move out with Will and their five dogs, with a novel way to sell the home.

A 4,000sq ft detached home included a unique bar area as well as a living area and eat-in kitchen flanked by a separate dining area on one side and a stylish family room on the other. 

The family room has bi-fold doors that open onto a stone terrace, which features a garden room for sunny days.

Downstairs also features a cosy sitting room, study and cellar, plus visitor features for a country pad with a boot room for wellies and a bespoke dog bed.

On the two upper floors of the Cotswold stone house are six bedrooms, all with en suites.

A huge master suite, a collection of guest rooms and a quirky loft room with two single beds under the eaves of the house make it a family host's dream. 

The luxury home comes fully kitted out with stylish furniture, and Raffle House also covers stamp duty costs and fees, so the winner will be able to move in cost-free.

The competition company also offers the option to take the cash equivalent of the nearly £3 million home if it's not their "dream".

A portion of each entry into the draw goes to the charity, chosen from one of 20 by the player.

This is exactly what happened, with Raffle House later confirming that the winner chose the money over the property.

Mr Clarkson has returned with a fifth series of Clarkson's Farm this week, with four new episodes having dropped on Wednesday (June 3).
