John Barrowman needs a new tenant to rent his luxury bungalow - take a look inside

Star of Doctor Who and Torchwood John Barrowman has put his second home up for rent.

The actor, 53, has listed his stunning Welsh bungalow online in a bid to find a tenant while he's away working in the US.

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the beautiful semi-rural village of Sully, the suburban street and is well known for its A-list resident.

And just seven miles outside of Cardiff, it's the perfect property for those who want a tranquil life in the country, but the convenience of being close to a major city.

The stunning luxury bungalow boasts sweeping sea views, a private heated swimming pool and direct access to the beach.

However the modern rental comes with a hefty price tag, with the new tenants expected to pay an eye-watering £2,700 per calendar month - or £623 a week.

However the new resident could move straight in, as the bungalow will be let fully furnished.

With four large bedrooms and a roomy living area that offers phenomenal panoramic sea views, it's easy to see why he fell in love with the property.

The lounge and dining room are an open-plan split level space with patio doors out onto the sunny terrace and the inviting heated swimming pool beyond. Plus the living rooms also come fully equipped with the latest tech and gadgets, including a huge TV.

This space then descends a few steps into another welcoming lounge space, with a gorgeous feature fireplace and another set of floor to ceiling glass doors into the garden.

The spacious bathroom boasts attractive tiled flooring, a large bath and a walk-in shower, plus enviable matching twin sinks.

While the new tenant will also be able to enjoy a massive pristine kitchen perfect for cooking and socialising.  While the office is a decent enough size to be transformed into a fifth bedroom, and there's an ample utility room, too.

There's also plenty of personal decor which is certainly a nod to the famous landlord.

In one bedroom there are cushions emblazoned with the Scottish national flag as a tribute to the country of his birth.

While the stars and stripes flag of the United States are on another bed and represent the country where he grew up and now predominantly resides.

However the dragon of the Welsh flag roars in pride of place in the lounge.

The enclosed garden has its own swimming pool, uninterrupted sea views and access to a pebble beach directly from the property line.  And an immaculate stretch of decking is perfect for stargazing or just watching the world go by.

The large deck also features a dining table and some sun loungers, perfect for al fresco dining and get-togethers.

And with John's known love of dogs, it's no surprise to discover that the new tenant at the bungalow is allowed to bring their pet.

According to data on Rightmove, Barrowman paid £725,000 for the home in 2007 and has remained in his ownership ever since.
