The most expensive homes for sale in Cardiff right now

With more and more of our time spent at home, it's tempting to wonder what else you could get for your money.

And although most of us probably aren't planning to move anytime soon it's still entertaining to see what's out there.

For those with deep pockets, or for the rest of us who wish we did, it can be even more fun.

From huge mansions to luxury penthouses, the Cardiff property market is full of seven-figure options.

These are some of the most expensive homes on sale at the moment in the city:

Vaendre Hall - £1,650,000

At first glance, this imposing manor house that dates back to the 1850s - see main image - looks like the setting from an episode of The Crown.

But the Victorian property is actually on the outskirts of Cardiff and is up for grabs.

It's one of the most prestigious - and expensive - homes on the market in south Wales. It even featured in the 2014 Doctor Who Christmas special.

The property, sprawling four-acre plot of manicured lawns and gardens, has been on sale for a while but Vaendre Hall is nothing short of spectacular.

The Grade-II listed house boasts five grandeur reception rooms, seven bedrooms and a billiards room and also comes with a coach house, gatekeeper's house and stables.

This individually designed seven-bedroom home in Cyncoed was built back in 2010.

It's now on the market for just under £1.5m, and you get plenty for your money for the Hollybush Road property.

It's situated in one of the capital's most sought after areas, and the home itself sits within a half-acre of land.

This unique six-bed detached home in Rhwibina Hill is currently up for grabs.

The property can fit at least five cars on the huge driveway, and the inside is just as spacious.

There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, two with ensuites, alongside a large sitting room that's currently used as a library.

Large windows are found throughout, including the triangle windows with impressive views on the top floor.

Although the property itself is pricey, whoever ends up buying it should save on their water bill. Rainwater is collected from the roof into a giant tank under the front garden/driveway. This recycled water is then used for all of the toilets and the garden.
