THIS is the site where a pair of Notts EuroMillions jackpot winners are planning to build a futuristic £5 million eco-home, the Post can reveal.

Matt and Cassey Topham said they planned to buy their "dream home" when they scooped a £45 million fortune in February last year.

And while artists' impressions of their eight-bedroomed luxury property were released last week, the exact location has remained a secret.

Plans submitted to Nottingham City Council now show the house will be built in Adams Hill, off Derby Road, where the married couple bought a £1.2 million mansion in September.

The house's eye-watering £5 million expected value puts it well out of reach of most budgets. It is enough to buy 60 average priced properties in the city and 42 in Notts, according to latest Land Registry figures.

And the cost of the home is head and shoulders above other homes on the market in the county, with estate agent Savill's priciest Notts house on the market for £1.8 million in Melton Road, West Bridgford.

Features of the new house, bordering Wollaton Park, include a sound-proofed cinema, botanical garden and grotto-style swimming pool.

People have said it looks like something from the set of children's TV show Teletubbies.

One of their soon-to-be-neighbours, who did not want to be named, said: "The plans look a bit different from the other houses around here, don't they? It looks like something out of Grand Designs really.

"It will be interesting to see if they can get planning permission when it looks so different from any other house I've seen."

The plans are to knock down the existing 1930s mansion, which has seven bedrooms, games room and gym, and replace it with a house of four hubs and a garage for up to ten cars.

The house will have solar panels on the roof and rainwater will be collected in a pool at the centre of the property before cascading down to another pool, creating a waterfall effect.

A statement from architects Baca said: "The architects are hoping the house, titled Serenity, will push the boundaries of environmental and architectural design... and produce a beautiful country house that will be enjoyed by generations.

"Replacing the drawing room, parlour, ballroom and smoking room of yesteryear the new house will be bang-up-to-date with a home cinema, games room, swimming pool, home gym and connected office, all seamlessly wired to incorporate the latest digital technology, security surveillance equipment and triple A-rated appliances."

Part of the house will be built underground, including the reception area and garage.

The plans for the property, which is in the Wollaton Park Conservation Area, will be discussed by Nottingham City Council's planning committee later this year.
