Five London garden apartments in desirable postcodes
As we rediscover the joys of warmer, longer and lighter spring/summer days, private gardens come into their own. Here are five of the best apartments with gardens available now in London.
Be it a courtyard, a landscaped garden or a roof terrace, the appeal of private outdoor space is high on many buyers’ wish lists. It is wonderful to be able to fling open doors to let natural light and fresh air flood in and allow children, pets and even partners to rush out. Never is that more true than in spring and summer.
There are multiple health and wellbeing benefits to spending time outdoors. Research shows that it helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Gardening, or simply pottering in your outdoor space, is proven to make us feel better.
With the Chelsea Flower Show in May comes inspiration to produce beautiful blooms and make the most of any exterior space. You don’t need a huge garden to create a sensory experience. Container gardens are also celebrated at the Chelsea Flower Show.
