Default A Garden to sell a house

We have spent rather a lot of money, TLC and attention on the inside and the
outside of the house. We receive, as no doubt most other people receive, a
leaflet shoved through the door from one of the local Estate Agents saying
'We are short of houses in your area and we have clients/customers queuing
for your type of property......... ' etc etc etc.

Now whilst we have no intention of selling because we have wonderful
neighbours, wonderful facilities and all of the local amenities are very
close to hand, we thought that we might take advantage of 'the latest
situation and the lay of the land' and see what the place is worth.

We knew approximately what the house was worth, but it was the Agents
comments on 'The Kitchen', (just spent £9K on that), and 'The Garden', spent
a fortune on that over 15 years,
..
..
..
BUT

his comments were that the Kitchen and the Garden would sell the house :-))
yes we have a garage and additional parking which were a plus, but he went
ape over the kitchen and garden :-))

He said our house has 'Kerb Appeal' (ought to, we have just had it painted).

Soooooooooooooo

if you are thinking of selling, a garden 'well cared for' is a plus
