Barbecues, summer houses and hot tubs are among the most desired garden features for UK homeowners, according to Ocean Finance.
The survey revealed that a quarter of respondents want a barbecue in their gardens, specifically one that is a “permanent” built-in feature.
Ocean Finance commented: “This would suggest that once the evenings get longer and the weather improves, we long for nothing more than to indulge in a bit of alfresco dining.”
The second most popular feature is a summer house, with Brits longing to be able to enjoy views of their garden while they dine in all weathers.
Another top item on the list of outdoor features is the hot tub. More than one in five respondents revealed they long to have a hot tub in their gardens.
“This really is a luxury addition to a home,” added Ocean Finance, “and shows that what people dream of owning is very different to what they actually have.”
More than 22% of respondents want to install their own hot tub, according to the survey, while fewer than one in 20 people with garden access actually have one.
The most popular outdoor feature is a garden shed, with 60% of people with gardens owning one.
Ocean Finance said: “One thing that the respondents’ list of dream garden additions showed was how much people appear to want to use their gardens.
“Longed-for purchases like outdoor soft seating, built-in barbecues, dining tables and chairs and a patio or decking area suggest that when the sun is shining, Brits want to take full advantage and spend as long outside enjoying it as they can.”
