So many dream homes for sale come with added extras that set them apart from the competition, including swimming pools, holiday lets and even helicopter landing pads - but it is much rarer to find a property offering an indoor badminton court.
This five bedroom, detached on Ridgeway, arguably one of Newport's most exclusive streets, has an abundance of features to impress a potential buyer but the property in the garden is probably the best one.
Looking like a bonus two-storey building that could be an office or the ultimate games room, once inside this outbuilding, a potential buyer will discover that there is only one floor and a double height roof space - perfect for lobbing and smashing in the midst of an exciting badminton match.
The court is marked out on the sprung wood floor and there are high level heaters and ceiling lighting, so if badminton is not your sport this versatile space could easily become an amazing gym or dance studio.
Zumba class anyone?
And the leisure theme doesn't stop at the badminton building, this unique home also offers a new owner a dry sauna and steam room too.
Once the sport and spa are over, there are numerous places to chill out and watch a movie or get stressed watching your favourite sports team struggle in their latest match because the basement of the main house has been converted into a leisure area.
There's a large room housing a massive TV and seating for the whole football team.
Just off this sociable space is a kitchenette, so not far to go to rustle up some half-time snacks.
Arguably the best spot for the ultimate in relaxation is the basement bedroom, next door to the TV room, that has its own large movie screen and projector, so binge watching a Game of Thrones boxset from your bed all weekend is a tempting proposition.
Within this basement area the purpose built sauna and steam rooms can also be found, as well as a cloakroom and cellar.
It's not hard to imagine never having to leave this cool area to be entertained; the basement has it all.
But if a new owner can tear themselves away from the basement, there are another two floors to explore at this luxury home.
The lounge and dining room are both generous spaces and enjoy the unique curved corners that the brings to the architectural design of the home.
The lounge is a generous space, running the whole length of the home and featuring doors directly to a balcony with distance views of Cwmcarn Forest Drive on the horizon.
This room showcases a mix of materials, from the quartz and porcelain wall tiling to the squishy leather sofas, all lit by feature mood lighting.
The kitchen / breakfast room is yet another sociable space, with a central island commanding attention for the cook by incorporating a hob and a funky kitchen hood, which features purple LED lighting to complement the under cupboard lighting.
The ground floor also boasts a spacious wet room, cloakroom, pantry and an original curved 'side room' off the lounge that could easily be transformed into a bonus conservatory.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a study.
If a new owner is desperate to add an ensuite to the master bedroom, the smaller adjoining bedroom could easily be converted as it is conveniently located next to the main bathroom and its plumbing.
The interior design style throughout this home is contemporary, with LED mood lighting, sparkling chandeliers and tactile tiled walls and floors the most eye-catching of the key added elements.
The current owners have updated the period property to incorporate modern convenience as well as contemporary style, such as chrome plug sockets with USB chargers and integrated kitchen appliances.
