Been there got the tee shirt. 15 years ago we decided to move for a big
garden, but hardly any estate agents had enough brain cells to understand.
We ended up looking for 3 months, virutally every w/e, within about a
25/30 mile radius of Leeds. Ended up with my wife seeing a property
almost on our doorstep as she cycled to work! I suspect serendipity is
almost your only option.

Good luck. We actually did find the odd est. agent that did understand,
but had nothing on their books.

Same here, we gave up looking for a bungalow with half an acre or more,
just about anywhere in the middle of England. I told one Estate Agent
that we wanted a large garden and he asked how big, when I told him at
least a third to half an acre he said
"You don't want a garden madam, you want LAND"

Seems a lot of bungalows we saw had either been built on someone else
land or the builders assumed bungalows meant you didn't like gardening!
However if you are in your home all day, either because you are retired
or from some other reason then you NEED a bit of space around
you........
I feel like going into estate agents and just asking for the garden,
never mind the house that comes with it
