Orangery or allotment, transformative outdoor spaces
Why are house hunters looking to add outdoor spaces to their homes? And can they boost the value of your property? Strutt & Parker investigates.
Take 5…Homes near farmers’ markets
There’s nothing better than waking up on a sunny Saturday morning, taking a stroll to your local farmers' market, grabbing a freshly baked croissant and picking up your weekly organic produce for the week.
We find that farmers' markets are an important part of our community, joining friends and family for a day of shopping and eating. It’s a great way of supporting local farmers, while helping out our economy by creating more jobs and making sure businesses stay part of our community for the years to come. Consuming locally grown produce also has environmental benefits with shorter 'field to fork' travel distances - fresher food also tastes better.
Farmers' market also promote eating seasonally available produce. As we leap into those chilly autumn days, brussels sprouts, pumpkins and wild mushrooms come into season, which you will see heaps of in your local farmers' market.
And farmers markets aren't just the sole preserve of market towns in the countryside, here in London one of capital's favourites is located on Bute Street in South Kensington, which has been a staple of the local community for 12 years. Each Saturday you will be able to sample some of the very best locally sourced food that there is to buy.
