Most people selling their homes like to point out a unique feature that sets it apart from all the others on the market - but not one of them can offer what this place can.
If 2.9 acres of land wasn't enough of a USP - then check this out: a former and historic isolation hospital in the garden.
This detached, two-storey former medical building is a substantial sized property, bigger than its residential neighbour which is said to have been built as the hospital gardener's lodge.
The hospital building in Gelligaer, Caerphilly, is thought to have been built in 1911 and was used at that time predominantly as a TB isolation unit.
The current owners bought the property in 1978 as an exciting start to a new living and working adventure, and they remember clearly the remains of the historic hospital they took on as part of the purchase.
The owner says: "At the time, the site had an assortment of buildings including X-ray, laundry, kitchen block, numerous wards, and a summerhouse conservatory for patients to sit in the sunshine, to help with their convalescence.
"The most interesting building was the mortuary block complete with the slab! The site also had a tennis court within the grounds which we believed the nurses and staff used to help with the day to day stresses.
"It was a beautiful site with a wonderful woodland at the back which would be a carpet of bluebells at this time of the year. The views from all areas within the site are breathtaking of the surrounding countryside.
"We regularly have visits from patients and previous workers from the hospital calling in to tell us their remarkable stories and memories of the hospital."
Daniel Jones, commercial director at Brinsons Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents who are selling the complete property proposition, says: "This is a unique opportunity to purchase this historic site the likes of which rarely come to the open market.
"The site comprises a mixture of industrial and workshop premises, yard and a four-bedroom detached house which is known as The Lodge, to the rear of which there is a store and workshop which was originally the old x-ray block."
The family home has a sociable and spacious L-shaped family room that includes the kitchen, living-dining room, utility room and a handy additional shower room.
Upstairs four large bedrooms include a master with ensuite, and there's a family bathroom on this level too.
There is handy storage in the loft too, although with the massive warehouses and hospital building in the garden surely there's enough onsite storage even when used in a commercial capacity? With planning consent, the loft could be turned into another floor of accommodation if required by a new owner.
The property has a CCTV security and alarm system and the garden that immediately surrounds the house and is surrounded by a stone wall and thick hedge includes a sunny patio, greenhouse, lawn with feature pond and a bonus stone outbuilding - yes, even more storage!
The estate agent states that the warehouse facilities comprises three interlinking steel portal frame bays constructed in the 1980's and includes a roller shutter door and also a workshop.
The gross internal area of the warehouse facility, that includes a substantial steel portal frame structure with external canopies, is approximately 2,534 square metres.
The remaining hospital building is said to be about 4,272 square metres set over two floors and comprises offices, open-plan storage, a kitchen and washroom facilities, but not a hospital bed in sight.
The large site is full of potential and offers a new owner an array of options, and although most of them involve achieving planning consent, the property has versatility both commercial and residential.

Daniel Jones says: "The remaining historic property on site could be re-developed for residential use or a specialist commercial use subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
"Viewing is highly recommended following a strong level of interest since commencement of the marketing campaign."
This big bundle of buildings is located in a semi-rural position between Bargoed and Hengoed, on the outskirts of the village of Penpedairheol, and has panoramic views of the surrounding hills from the rear and out across open fields at the front.
No wonder patients were brought here to fight their illness, surrounded by open countryside, but close to the more major towns of Caerphilly and Blackwood, with Cardiff and Newport both less than 20 miles away.
