Beside the pool with its own changing rooms, there is a steam room and a jacuzzi, as well a huge glasshouse for relaxing.

The property has luxury fittings including a wood-burning stove and a breakfast bar for dining on in the kitchen area

Within the garden is a double storey garage block with an office above and an all-weather tennis court.
If you think it’s not attractive enough with all these fittings, perhaps the 17-acre garden that features a fishing lake and a timber lodge may tempt you.

Roy gave up his job as a metal worker just after winning the casino jackpot.

Mr Gibney has been very happy during these 14 years, being impatient and set up his own business with a friend

When the father-of-three cashed in his winnings he immediately presented his job resignation and moved into the property business. Now selling off as well as several other houses in the Grimsby area.
Thanks to his new fortune, he had been getting experience for 14 solid years, so he decided to establish himself his own business.

‘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 its running charity fishing days or dressing up as Father Christmas for the local hospital.’
