These pictures show the quirky 10-bedroom house a couple who won £105m could buy in their home town after promising to ‘stay local’.

Builder and shop assistant Steve and Lenka Thomson were revealed as the lucky winners of the nine-figure Euromillion jackpot today.

The couple live in a £120,000 three bedroom terrace in Selsey, West Sussex, and said they plan to upsize so their three young children can have a room of their own.

Their new found fortune means they could easily afford a property in Kensington and Chelsea, the UK’s most expensive postcode.

But the pair say they want to stay local before eventually building their own home.

Fortunately there are plenty of sizeable houses on the market in their area.

The most expensive one costs £1.2m and is complete with 10 bedrooms and an indoor and outdoor swimming pool.

The pad, which has been on sale since January 16 this year,  fronts Selsey Beach with panoramic views of the sea.

According to its listing on right move, the four storey property also boasts a sun room, two large reception rooms, a banquet hall, an orangery and a bathroom per floor.

The home was built by the current owner to their own specification about 15 years ago.

Pictures from the 7621sqft  property suggests the current vendor had a unique taste.

While it appears modern from the outside, the indoors is reminiscent of an ancient castle.

The colour palette is red and brown with features including floor to ceiling doors and exposed brick.

One bathroom has velvet flooring while another has a castle-like window painted on the wall.

Mr and Mrs Thomson are wealthier than celebrities including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Ronnie Wood after their win.

Mr Thomson, who has been playing the lottery regularly for 25 years, has promised to help the local community and complete all his outstanding jobs before Christmas.

While he is still in shock about the win, his children have been quick to get their requests in.

His 10-year-old son asked for a Telsa while his 8-year-old daughter wants a pink iphone.

But the most important thing the couple wish to provide is a house big enough for everyone, as their 8 and 15-year-old sons currently share a room.

Speaking about his win today Mr Thomson said: ‘To be able to give our children a bedroom each is a big thing, so we have been looking for a house.

‘We will stay locally but somewhere with some space. I would like to build our own place eventually but we’ve been looking at houses online for now. We will also support our families by buying them houses.’
