Last week in Post Property, we reported how Richard and Judi have the best garden in the UK.

No, not the book-loving former daytime TV presenters, but Richard and Judi Green from Kings Heath.

They earned the accolade in a competition run by Fine and Country to find the country’s favourite garden.

Gardening expert and overall judge Martyn Cox praised their plot outside their home in Featherstone Road for being “chock-a-block with plants, a small lawn, a raised pond and a box parterre, with winding paths that add a sense of mystery – you really don’t know what’s around the corner”.

For house hunters who are searching for properties with beautiful back gardens, here are some with green and pleasant plots.
