A home in Bromsgrove has been transformed into a festive wonderland in an attempt to generate funds for injured soldiers.<\/p>\n

The property, at 9 Grafton Crescent and belonging to Bridget Kings, is attempting to bring Christmas cheer to the local community and raise cash for Help for Heroes, the Bromsgrove Advertiser reports.<\/p>\n

It has been decorated with Christmas lights on both the interior and exterior, while Santa Claus will be making special appearances at the dwelling to visit children who head over to the house.<\/p>\n

Visiting the residence and Father Christmas is free of charge, but people are being asked to leave donations for the charity.<\/p>\n

Ms Kings said: "We love bringing some festive spirit to the area and helping a good cause."<\/p>\n

Finalists in this year's series of popular talent contest the X Factor recently reached the top of the charts with their rendition of the David Bowie hit Heroes, with proceeds being donated to the Help for Heroes charity.<\/p>\n
