Inside Lotto millionaire’s extraordinary mansion – and he’s even had his winning National Lottery numbers tiled in the pool
It's soared in price since being bought in 1998 and is now on the market for £1.1million, but comes with all the luxury features that one would expect from a Lotto winner
TAKE a look inside a Lotto winner's incredible sprawling mansion - which even has his winning numbers tiled into the pool.
Roy Gibney bought the Barnoldby-le Beck, Lincs, property for £375,000 after winning £7.4million in 1998.
It's soared in price since then and for £1.125million, but comes with all the luxury features that one would expect from a Lotto winner.
The millionaire's mansion has six bedrooms is part of a leisure complex which has a steam room, hot tub and gym.
Gibney, a keen snooker fan, has a games room in the house which also has a bar and a mini cinema set up.
The property, dubbed The Brambles, is within about 17.6 acres of land and boasts an all-weather tennis court and fishing lake.
It has two reception rooms, two dining rooms, a sitting room, kitchen, games room, three bathrooms and six bedrooms.
The master bedroom is spectacular in a triangle design with a balcony to survey the vast house and grounds.
But the pool is the showstopper - not only with a reminder of what led Gibney to own the property - it has its own changing and toilet areas and a conservatory to enjoy after a swim.
The gardens have an enormous lake which can be enjoyed as part of a private walk among the grounds.
Gibney : "When I won I enjoyed all the luxuries you would expect of a lottery winner - even featuring my winning lottery numbers on the bottom of my 50' swimming pool which I built at my Grimsby home.

"Nowadays I don't indulge myself quite as much as I used to but still enjoy the carefree life winning has given me. I spilt my time between my villa in Cyprus and Britain.
"I also feel it was important to give back and have supported many charities - whether it's running charity fishing days or dressing up as Father Christmas for the local hospital."
His previous house had just two bedrooms but he had been living there for ten years, and said he still feels fond of it.
He was a sheet metal worker when he won, and he set up his own business with a pal following the win.
The father-of-three is a keen horseracing fan and bought three race horses but has since sold them on.
He now lives in Scotland with his partner and youngest son.
