For those seeking inspiration – or dreaming of the perfect outdoor space to accompany their next home – we have curated a collection of properties currently for sale through Savills, each showcasing truly exceptional gardens.

Summer Cottage, Henley-on-Thames

Built circa 1880, this beautiful Grade II listed cottage has been sympathetically refurbished to create a charming home. The magic continues outside, where one acre of award-winning gardens by Sue Townsend unfolds as a series of beautifully composed garden spaces. An apothecary garden, wildflower meadow, orchard, and productive kitchen garden are interwoven with reclaimed York stone and brick paths, with terraces perfectly positioned to follow the sun.

Rotunda, Bushy Park

An extraordinary historic home in the heart of Royal Bushy Park, Rotunda is a former testing site from the Cold War which now offers contemporary living in secluded surroundings. The breath-taking property enjoys an open, verdant aspect over more than an acre of plush green lawn, dotted with mature and blossom trees. Sweeping grounds create a rare sense of privacy within this remarkable parkland setting.

Hertford Road, Welwyn

This exceptional country home blends charming architecture with an elegant interior, set within idyllic countryside grounds. Beautifully landscaped gardens offer a peaceful and private retreat, with expansive lawns, terraces, an ornamental fountain, and a koi pond. A gently meandering chalk stream runs through the garden, bringing true tranquillity to this enchanting scene.

Park Road, Twickenham

Occupying a discreet setting, this exquisite early Victorian family home offers a wonderful lateral footprint. Outside, an established walled garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a generous patio for alfresco entertaining. A secluded outdoor seating area beside the annexe provides a peaceful, cocooned retreat, ideal for quiet moments or escaping into the shade.

Kea, Truro

The gardens form the heart of this impressive eco-home, thoughtfully designed to echo the surrounding Cornish landscape. Sweeping lawns, softened by naturalistic planting, unfold from an inviting entertaining terrace, while a kitchen garden adds both beauty and purpose. Framed by far reaching rural views towards the Roseland Peninsula, the grounds create a seamless and immersive connection to nature.

Hayward House, Hungerford

Set within the rolling countryside of the Wessex Downs, the gardens are a particular highlight of this charming period farmhouse. A walled front garden, framed by clipped box, provides a formal welcome, while to the rear, a series of beautifully arranged spaces unfold, including a parterre with ornamental pear trees, a rose garden, and well-stocked herbaceous borders. Mature trees, a kitchen garden, swimming pool, and tennis court complete this wonderfully varied setting.

Frognal, Hampstead Village

An exceptionally rare Hampstead location, where a beautifully planted walled garden sits behind an ivy-clad Georgian façade. Mature greenery softly envelopes the house, creating a sense of privacy and timeless charm at its approach. Hidden beyond, a remarkably wide garden offering a secluded retreat, seldom found in this central village location.

Finings Road, High Wycombe

A wing of a former Victorian mansion, the character home is set within beautifully landscaped, varied gardens in peaceful, semi-rural surroundings. From a suntrap courtyard and tranquil water features to colourful planting and a distinctive Dutch paviour path, the grounds offer a series of inviting outdoor spaces. Open west-facing views across farmland provide a striking sense of calm.
