Wonderful houses with big gardens for sale

For some, a new home’s garden is considered just as important to a house buyer as an office or a second bedroom. As we give a long-awaited welcome to better weather and longer days, the botanical bliss of a garden is where we love to spend our summer.

Big garden, big ideas

When viewing a property with the intention of buying, we all have our own ideas on the potential of the garden. Some would picture a back garden where nature reigns and wildflowers blossom; others prefer to put their green fingers to good use and create a well-tended garden with immaculately cut grass and pristine flower beds. The kids can imagine exactly where the swing set and slide should go, and the grown-ups plan where the BBQ, summer house and hot tub will sit.

Things to consider when buying a house with a big garden

While it's easy to let your mind run wild with ideas during a property viewing, there are a few things you should consider when looking for houses with a big garden. An important thing to know is which way the garden faces, as most of us know that a south-facing garden will attract more sunlight.

We also recommend understanding how much maintenance would be required to keep the garden in a good state and looking out for problem plants and trees. Does the garden have good access, and are there any key features like a shed, summer house or patio? These are all important things to consider when buying a house with a large garden.
