We’ve scoured the homes for sale on Zoopla to bring you this selection of otherwise often fairly ordinary houses for sale with extraordinary gardens.
There are no multi-million pound mega mansions on this list of homes from around the country, and while the houses themselves are lovely it is the outdoor space which is the star of the show.
In many cases, looking at the front of these properties offers little clue of what lies behind, with some of the gardens featured stretching back hundreds of feet and boasting a wealth of features.
Pools, pretty ponds, large summerhouses and treehouses are among the highlights of these fantastic gardens.
One comes with a wrap-around pond to feast your eyes upon while dining al fresco on the patio, another has direct access to the nearby beach, and a third boasts a rockery, a stream and a woodland meadow.
These gardens are ideal for green-fingered house hunters, families and people who love entertaining, or anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
