If a trip away this summer isn’t on the cards, then don’t worry – you can bring a bit of that holiday feeling into your own back garden. We look at five properties on our books with outside spaces that are perfect for a summer getaway, without even having to leave your home.
West Barnes Lane, Motspur Park, KT3
A separate decked platform with a roof creates a sense of privacy in this five bedroom house’s garden. Tall palm trees provide further cover and a tropical feel, presenting the perfect setting to relax and sip on a few Piña Coladas.
Warwick Road, Bounds Green, N11
The split-level layout of this three bedroom house’s garden offers not one, but three spaces for soaking up the summer sun. The annexe at the far end of the garden opens onto the decking area via bi-folding doors, providing shelter if the weather doesn’t hold out.
Beaconsfield Road, Willesden, NW10
Children expect plenty of fun and entertainment on their holidays. This three bedroom house has a climbing frame in the rear garden, as well as a climbing wall, so the young ones can feel like they’re off on an adventure, while the parents can take a break in the stylish seating area.
The decked platform in this four bedroom house’s garden has everything you need for the summer. It includes a pool, a built-in BBQ and both dining and seating areas, while a fence border keeps out the intrusions of the rest of the world.
Studholme Court, Hampstead, NW3
This three bedroom house’s garden is a private oasis in London. A low hedge divides the space, creating separate areas to unwind in, while an impressive selection of plants and flowers offers an attractive border. The lush vegetation takes your thoughts far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
