Imagine winning the lottery next week; what is the first thing you would do?
For many of us, buying a house would be near the top of our list.
And if you were to become a millionaire overnight, Newport is full of luxury properties
Ever fancied yourself in a huge Victorian townhouse with views over the city? Newport definitely delivers there, with some truly impressive properties hidden away in corners in and around the centre, some of which have taken starring roles in television.
Or perhaps you've been fantasising about somewhere with a bit of green space?
There's also plenty of opportunity to day-dream about that too, with some seriously impressive farms and country houses available around the edges of the city.
Okay, sure, we know we're not likely to win the lottery next week, but it's always nice to dream.
So here it is, our list of dream properties you could buy if you suddenly became a millionaire.
The one with business potential
This beautiful home sits just outside of Newport, with "fantastic" views of the surrounding countryside.
Built in 2018, this five-bedroom family house sits at the end of a secluded lane in its own "private valley."
Each of the five bedrooms has an en-suite, and the house even has its own built-in gym. There are also outbuildings on the property grounds ready to be converted into accommodation should you fancy yourself running a holiday business.
All of this, plus 15 acres of land, is currently on the market for £2.25 million.
The one that's been on TV
If you're a fan of BBC dramas, this property might look a little familiar to you.
That's because this grand "Victorian gentleman's residence" has starred in hits Doctor Who and Sherlock.
In 2017, then-Doctor Peter Capaldi fought monsters in its corridors with companions Matt Lucas and Pearl Mackie. Or maybe you'll recognise the bedroom as Irene Adler's posh pad from the Sherlock episode 'A Scandal in Belgravia.'
This Grade-II listed house, situated in Ridgeway, is currently on the market for £1.25 million.
The Newport home which has been used in Sherlock and Doctor Who:
The modern yet homely one
This enormous seven-bedroom property is plush and modern, having been redesigned by the current owners.
Situated in the hamlet of Llandevaud, it's ideal for someone dreaming about a country location within touching distance of the city.
The property comes fitted with a gym and a roof terrace, with a nicely homely feel added with features like its spiral staircase and wooden floors.
It is currently up for sale for just under £1.5 million.
The outside-of-the-box one
If you're dreaming about something a bit different, this artistic house might be up your street.
A quick glance might make you think you're looking at a period property, but the house is actually a sympathetic new-build full of beautiful craftsmanship in the form of woodwork and stonework.
The thing that immediately takes your breath with this house is the light - it cascades through the enormous windows and skylights and down the solid oak stairs that weave their way through the heart of the house.
Located on Fields Park Road, you're only a walk away from Newport city centre but tucked away in a quiet, leafy neighbourhood.
It is currently on the market for £1.3 million.
The one to watch golf from
If there's one thing this property does well, it's views.
Look out of the patio doors and you will see nothing but green - much of which is actually the hallowed turf of the Celtic Manor's world famous golf course.
Complete with an orangery and a patio, enjoying the outdoors for the comfort of your own home is a theme of this property.
The Llanmartin-situated house is on the market for £1.3 million.
The Arts and Crafts one
Built in 1914 by architect A.T. Bolton, this country house in Llansoar could be taken straight from the pages of an Agatha Christie mystery.
Complete with wooden beams, staircase gallery, and two-story window, the hallway area alone is enough to wow you the moment you enter the house.
In addition to all of the interior quirks, the house also comes with stables and woodland.
It is on sale for £1 million.
The one that's a working farm
Ever fancied running your own farm? This could be your dream house.
The working farm is full of history and has been in the same family for generations, having "never come to the market previously" according to the estate agent.
Plus, located on the edge of Caerleon, the property literally borders the iconic Roman amphitheatre, which sits in the land adjacent.
The farmhouse, complete with outbuildings, barns and 11 acres of land, is on the market for £1.3 million.
