EuroMillions winner Adrian Bayford will RENT OUT farmhouse on 189-acre estate for extra cash 2 years after £184m win
EUROMILLIONS winner Adrian Bayford is planning on renting out his luxury eco-farmhouse to make some extra cash.
The ex-postie who scooped up £148million in 2012 with his ex-wife Gillian bought the mega-mansion two years after he won big on the lottery.
Great Wilbraham Hall in Cambridge is now in the process of becoming a refurbished short-term holiday home – for those who can afford it.

The farmhouse was used by family and friends until last summer, where it has since stood empty.
Before it’s on the market, Bayford is keen to give the property a revamp and has applied to Greater Cambridge Planning to make some changes.
His planning permission application stated: “The applicant seeks full planning permission for the change of use of Great Wilbraham Hall Farmhouse from residential use to short-term holiday let.”
“As the property has been vacant for some time and there are signs of deterioration in condition we feel that a refurbishment program is necessary to bring the property back into a viable use.”
The 53-year-old lottery winner has also asked for Listed Building consent to create six bedrooms which would sleep 13 people.
This would include a conversion of a first floor bedroom into a bathroom, internal redecoration, an upgraded kitchen, and refurbishing and re-painting the sash windows.
All changes would be made internally and the outside of the property, and the restate of the estate, would remain the same.
The planning application states why Bayford believes the refurb is necessary.
“We feel this program of refurbishment will protect the condition of the property for years to come and will provide much sought after accommodation.”
Inside Adrian Bayford's unlucky love life
ADRIAN Bayford has been unlucky in love.
The former postie and cleaner wife Gillian famously celebrated their 2012 win by ordering a Domino’s takeaway despite just joining the country’s rich list.
They split the following year – with Gillian promptly returning to her native Scotland with the couple’s two children.
There she found love with car salesman Alan Warnock.
Adrian then asked sausage factory worker Marta Jarosz, 38, to marry him in a text.
The trained bodyguard and martial arts expert from Poland met Adrian while she was working on the door at his local pub in December 2013 – a month after his split from wife Gillian.
It’s unknown if they actually were engaged.
The pair the called it quits — but not before she was given a £34,000 top-of-the-range Volvo V40.
Next, the lotto winner moved stable girl Samantha Burbridge into his mansion — before she ran back to her penniless ex, taking £500,000 of horses Adrian bought her.
He then moved on to Frankie & Benny’s waitress Lisa Kemp, 42.
Adrian was also ready to wed her before she dumped him for allegedly messaging his ex, Marta.
He was said to have messaged her confessing: “I want you” and “I would marry you no probs”.
Now, comes his latest lover – Tracey Biles.
The pair were pals for years before she dumped bus driver partner Mark Newman, and moved in with the multi-millionaire in 2022.
He popped the question at Christmas and they plan to marry at his favourite Indian ocean resort — where he also took his three exes.
His pal said: “Adrian has always been so soft and, in his own way, he’s actually a real romantic.”
This isn’t the first time the fancy farmhouse has been upgraded with the rock music fanatic planning to install a set of solar panels in September.
These sustainable energy sources would generate enough electricity to power the entire estate.
The multi-millionaire used his prize money to purchase the two-storey thatched farmhouse building, splashing out on the estate.
Big spender Bayford is no stranger to luxury as these property refurbishments follow a ‘no expense-spared’ wedding after splitting with wife and with fellow winner Gillian.
After a string of unsuccessful entanglements, the millionaire proposed to Tracey Biles, 45, his fourth fiancée in 12 years.
Bayford’s friend told The Sun they are planning a massive bash abroad.
To prove his commitment to his ambulance worker Tracey, he has moved her parents into one of the cottages on his estate.
His friend added: “I mean, that might not be for everyone but they all get on so well — and, let’s face it, there’s plenty of room up there.”
