Where is Rainbow House?

Rainbow House sits in the grounds of Wollaton Hall — which was used as Wayne Manor in 2012 Batman film The Dark Knight Rises — in Nottingham.

The house is accessed by Adams Hill, known locally as 'Millionaires' Row', which runs parallel to the A52 Derby Road.

It was bought by EuroMillions £45million jackpot winners Matt and Cassey Topham in 2012.

How much was Rainbow House bought for?

Matt and Cassey Topham paid £1.2million for the mansion in 2012.

They immediately made plans which involved demolishing it and building a £5m property that included dozens of solar panels, a dramatic sweeping staircase inside, and a garage with space for 10 cars.

House prices have increased by around 5 per cent in the area since 2012 according to Home Track, meaning the house could have been worth closer to £1.3m by 2017.

But the house has fallen into disrepair and is now a magnet for drug users, vandals and rowdy youths, The Sun revealed.

The couple have put in new plans with Nottingham City Council.
