EuroMillions lottery winner Adrian Bayford is making major change to SAVE money at 189-acre estate after scooping £148m
ECO-conscious EuroMillions winner Adrian Bayford is planning to install dozens of solar panels at his estate.
The 53-year-old, who landed £148million with now ex-wife Gillian in 2012, has been trying to create a sustainable lifestyle at his 189-acre country pile.
He already has a smallholding with an allotment, greenhouses, and goats and pigs — and now wants to fit 106 solar panels into a machinery barn to power the estate.
The solar panels, set to be installed on the south-facing side of the roof, will generate a combined total of 46.11 kWp, providing more than enough energy to power his estate.
A quote from East Green Energy states: “We have looked to maximise the south-facing aspect of the new shed and working around the skylights set out a design which totals a 46.11kWp system made up of 106 x 435W solar panels.”
An application has been made to the Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service over the works at the estate in Linton, close to the border with Essex.
Adrian has turned to the good life by living off his land since meeting new fiancée Tracey Biles.
The couple is growing their own food in a kitchen garden, in raised beds and under polytunnels.
They have also made a large carp pond.
Adrian, who split from Gillian around 15 months after their jackpot win, proposed to ambulance worker Tracey last Christmas.
They had known each other from their younger days and it is thought that they got together last summer, with Tracey walking out on partner Mark Newman to move into mega-rich Adrian’s £6.5million estate.
Bayford has been unlucky in love since hitting following a string of relationships.
The millionaire was previously linked to sausage factory worker Marta Jarosz.
He had employed the Polish woman as a bodyguard and an assistant.
He then met stable girl Sam Burbidge in January 2014 and spent millions on her riding hobby, buying up to 30 thoroughbred horses.
They got engaged but she walked out in January 2017.
Bayford started wooing Frankie & Benny’s waitress, Lisa Kemp, 46, in December 2017, but they split the following year.
It comes after aerial pictures revealed that Adrian Bayford’s vineyard is set to produce a corking 25,000 bottles of sparkling wine every year.
And the jackpot winner admitted that he has suffered a fresh setback after scooping £148million in the EuroMillions.
