In addition to private gardens, North Norfolk has 72 public gardens that provide access to green space. This area has 1.29 acres of public garden for every 1,000 houses, allowing residents to benefit from more green space.

British Residents' Interest in Green Spaces
Research shows that gardens are still a dream for many residents of Britain. According to a study by Barratt Homes, 57 percent of people are willing to pay more for houses with green space or near parks. This reflects the growing desire of Britons to have gardens and green space close to their homes.
In the Cotswolds area, the cost per square meter of garden reaches £1,686, which is significantly higher than in North Norfolk, but access to public gardens and vegetable planting sites in this area is still very common.
Continuing this study, other areas such as East Cambridge and West Oxford also rank high due to soil quality and length of the growing season. For example, East Cambridge, with a soil pH of 6.6 and a 288-day growing season, provides suitable conditions for plant growth.
Conclusion
This research clearly shows that various areas in Britain, based on their specific characteristics, can be suitable options for buying a house with a garden. From North Norfolk with large gardens and reasonable prices to the Cotswolds with historic spaces and access to public gardens, there is significant diversity in choices that can enhance the quality of life for residents.
