Fresh from another FA Cup final winner, Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey has another reason to celebrate after landing himself a stunning five-bedroom house on the outskirts of Cardiff, reports Wales Online.
The Wales international, in the squad for Sunday's crucial World Cup qualifier against Serbia, has landed one of Wales' most exclusive properties, in the upmarket Lisvane suburb.
The 12,000 sq ft property is set in around 20 acres of land and features:
- A three-hole golf course
- A championship standard tennis court
- A swimming pool and snooker room

It is understood that Real Madrid star Gareth Bale was also interested in buying the property and had even drawn up plans for a huge extension to afford spectacular views across the Bristol Channel.
