Here is a home which wouldn't look out of place on the French Riviera or appearing in a film of an Agatha Christie or P G Wodehouse novel.
This six-bedroom Art Deco property, which also has a swimming pool, can be found at Bryn Rhedyn, Llanfrechfa, Cwmbran, and is on the market for offers over £800,000.
But this property doesn't date from the 20s or 30s - in fact it was created by architect Colin Morgan only 20 years ago and takes its inspiration from the Art Deco buildings of Miami in the United States of America.

The owners wanted to create their dream of an Art Deco home and they did not stop at the facade. Deco style continues throughout the interior from the bespoke internal doors, designed window pelmets to the tiling and decoration. Elements of this distinctive era of design appear throughout the exceptionally spacious split level accommodation.
A pillared entrance leads to a gravel parking area and garage. Steps lead up to a wraparound terrace with curved streamlined railings.
The spacious hall has a tiled floor with Deco style edging, glass brick panels allow light into both the dining room and kitchen. A half-turn open tread staircase with Art Nouveau railings leads to a small landing. Towards the far end of the hall is the two piece cloakroom with cloaks cupboard.
