Homes for sale with wild gardens in England and Wales
This large Victorian house, set back from the road, is true to its era, with a red-brick elevation under a mixture of pantile and flat roof. The facade is screened by mature shrubs and covered in mature wisteria and climbing roses. The main garden, to the south and east, has a wildlife pond and a decked walk that leads to another garden with fruit trees. The popular village has a railway station, a shop, a pub, a recreation ground and a primary school. Melton adjoins the riverside market town of Woodbridge, which has several sailing clubs. £855,000. Bedfords, 01728 454 505 Photograph: Bedfords Just over a mile outside the busy village of Culmstock, in the Culm Valley, is Silver Street Farm. The approach is a long drive bordered by wildflower meadows. The restored Georgian farmhouse has eight bedrooms and sits in 3.8 hectares (9.6 acres) that include a no-dig kitchen garden, open paddocks and a cottage. Behind the house is a courtyard of outbuildings covered in roses and surrounded by fruit trees. The kitchen opens on to a terrace, and a large utility room connects the main house to the events barn. The nearest town is Prescott. £2.5m. Knight Frank, 020 7590 2451 Photograph: Knight Frank Near the foothills of the Berwyn mountains and just over three miles from the nearest village, lies this secluded retreat. Until the 1960s it was a working farm; then it was split up with different sections sold off. The farmhouse that is up for sale is in a limewash under a roof of timber rafters, bordered by the original walls of local stone. A woodland shelters the buildings, with beech, oak, conifer and sycamore trees and fern, broom and dog rose. A second area is a wetland with two ponds surrounded by rowan, alder and willow. £495,000. Savills, 01952 239 500 Photograph: Chris Curl/Savills Down an old farm track, on the outskirts of a ridge-top village, is the historic French Court Farmhouse, built in about 1640, with later additions. The writer CS Lewis recorded he once lodged here. It has been restored with period features intact: the inglenook fireplace and the winder staircase. The whole plot covers one hectare (2.5 acres), and includes a wildflower front garden, woodland, paddocks, a wildlife pond and a Mediterranean courtyard. Pett sits between Winchelsea and Hastings, and it is only a six-minute drive to the nearest beach. £1.5m. Inigo, 020 3687 3071 Photograph: Suzie Gibbons/Inigo This low-slung mid-century house is Grade II-listed and has glazing on all sides, letting in plenty of light and framing views across 2.6 hectares (6.5 acres) of land. The plot consists of woods and paddocks with a leafy side garden separating the house from the road. There are perennial grasses and secluded spots, with winding paths leading to a beech wood past snowdrop and daffodil dells and the wildlife pond. Grimsby and Louth are about half an hour away, and it's about 20 minutes drive to the coast. £800,000. The Modern House, 020 3795 5920 Photograph: The Modern House

Inigo, 020 3687 3071 Photograph: Inigo Moored at Shepperton Marina, on the edge of Greater London, is this 39-metre Belgian barge that has been converted into a home. As big as a typical Victorian terrace house in London, it covers 186 sq metres (2,000 sq ft) with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a reception room and a utility room underneath. The kitchen is on the upper deck. The layout was conceived with partying in mind. The long top deck is used to host guests, and boasts a hot tub.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom property is dominated by the open-plan reception room with sleek kitchen units, shiny white floor tiles and dual-aspect floor-to-ceiling glass panels. Doors open on to a wraparound roof terrace with space for seating and hosting, with shade from the cantilevered roof. There's a hot tub and a sauna, and views of the City skyline. £1.4m. Foxtons, 020 7704 5757 Photograph: Foxtons Wilford Lane runs between two bends in the River Trent and leads to the town centre. The bustling high street and amenities are on hand and yet it is just off the main thoroughfares that get busy on match days (either Nottingham Forest's home games at the nearby City Ground or cricket at Trent Bridge). On the fourth floor of an apartment block is a two-bedroom home with an open-plan living space and doors opening on to the west-facing balcony. This, and the communal gardens overlooking the river, are ideal spots for gatherings. £400,000. HomeMove, 0115 8321 321 Photograph: Home Move Within walking distance of the characterful Margate Old Town and its sandy beach is a semi-detached Victorian house that has been modernised inside. The kitchen is at the back, light-filled from dual-aspect windows and a roof lantern, and has space at the back for dining. The garden has a patio for alfresco meals and a lawn, bordered by a timber slatted fence on one side and a brick wall on the other, supporting fig and olive trees. Tucked away down the end is decking and seating, and a studio – currently used as a quiet place of retreat. £750,000. The Modern House, 020 3795 5920 Photograph: The Modern House

'Posy pink' farmhouse dating back to 1558 on sale for £1.85 million
A Grade II-listed, Suffolk pink farmhouse, dating back to the 16th century, is up for sale for £1.85million. The historic seven-bedroom property, known as Barton Grange, is listed by estate agent Inigo. It spans almost 6,400 sq ft and sits on 17 acres of private grounds in the village of Worlingworth. Vaulted timber-framed room with long dining table, bookshelves, and overhead paper lanterns strung from the beams. (Image: Inigo) The farmhouse boasts a set of atmospheric reception rooms, which includes a vaulted barn. The private grounds feature wildflower meadows, formal planting, a partial moat, and a large industrial barn. The house's frontage, dating back to around 1558, has been preserved in a 'posy pink' shade, a nod to an age-old architectural tradition associated with Suffolk. Original features, such as bay windows and ovolo lintels to the ground-floor fireplaces, have been carefully maintained. Colourful kitchen with painted timber units, exposed beams and shelves filled with jars, bottles and cookbooks. (Image: Inigo) A renovation in the mid-20th century saw the addition of a lean-to from the left gable and a gabled porch. Under current ownership, the home's character has been enhanced with warm-toned materials, colours, and modern fittings. Three staircases lead to the upper level where the primary suite features double doors to a private balcony and an en suite with a matching clawfoot bath. The farmhouse also boasts an extensive library, a yoga room, and two sitting rooms with modern log-burning stoves fitted in period fireplaces. The grounds are 'versatile' and 'expansive', featuring a vegetable garden, a cut flower patch, a paddock, and an orchard. A pink-painted bathroom with roll-top bath, wood flooring and a wall of decorative plates. (Image: Inigo) A terraced spot, accessible from the dining room, provides a space for hosting and a shepherd's hut offers a secluded spot for relaxation. The industrial barn, with a footprint of more than 3,000 sq ft, could be transformed with the relevant planning permissions. The property is located near several Suffolk towns, with Framlingham around 20 minutes away by car, and Woodbridge and the Suffolk coastline slightly further afield. Aldeburgh, Southwold, and Walberswick are all about a 45-minute drive away. The property is also near several schools, including Framlingham College, Thomas Mills High School, Hartismere Secondary, and Worlingworth CofE Primary School. Diss station, about 24 minutes away by car, runs services to Liverpool Street in about 90 minutes. For information on this property, contact Inigo or visit Zoopla.
