Bideford, Devon

What the current owners say

Our garden is a big part of what makes our home so lovely. Since moving in we’ve developed the patio into a multi-purpose entertaining and relaxing space – to enjoy a coffee while watching the sun rise, to relax with a book on a sunny day, cook a pizza or fire up the barbecue for friends and then to sit back and look out for shooting stars (or bats!) at night. Moving down into the main garden, there is the original apple tree from when the surrounding land was an orchard, and we’ve added more fruit trees and bushes along with a greenhouse and a number of vegetable beds. We’ve developed a wildlife area at the bottom of the garden and have been delighted to see baby newts in the pond this year. The terraced design of the garden lends itself well to Mediterranean herbs which in turn attract all sorts of butterflies and other wildlife. All in all, it’s a garden with many surprises and lots of edibles for the keen cook to discover and enjoy.
