Lottery millionaires David and Margaret Storey have swapped their modest terrace house for a large detached home in a leafy street on the outskirts of Bradford.

And the jackpot winners, who hit the headlines last October when they scooped £1.4 million, say the four-bedroom, stone-built house in the Nab Wood area of Shipley is their dream home.

The Storeys - whose old home in Saltaire is on the market for £54,950 - could have bought a mansion or lived anywhere in the world but were determined to stay in Shipley and plumped for a house which cost less than £200,000.

Mrs Storey, 45, who gave up her job as a craft instructor at Shipley Resource Centre after the win, said: "A mansion would have just been too big for us and we didn't want to leave Shipley but we needed more room and this is a nice size to maintain, gives us both space, is large enough to have people to stay and is in an exceptionally friendly neighbourhood.

"It's still got the same number of bedrooms as the other house though we've gained a dining room, a study, a garage and gardens but I don't think we've gone over the top for two of us.''

Mr Storey, 49, who was unemployed for seven years before the win, said: "The extra space takes some getting used to because at the other house you were through the front door and straight into the living room and kitchen but here Margaret's dad says he needs a road map to find his way round!

"The other day we had some friends over and were kicking a ball about in the back garden but it would have to have been blow football in the yard down at Saltaire."

Following their wedding last December the couple splashed out £30,000 treating themselves and three relatives to a honeymoon/holiday in the Caribbean.

Mrs Storey said: "We don't want the money to change us and apart from having less stress in our lives I can't see that it has changed us as people.

"We still go to the same pubs, shop at the same places, wear the same clothes and don't get taxis everywhere. ''
