First thoughts re right hand picture it could be a peris but you should
have seen red young leaves and flowers rather like Lily of the Valley
The left havd one could be one of several, I'd leave it to grow on, poss
thin out a few of the shoots.

Thanks. I'll take your advice (as usual). The occupants are relatively
new to the house so we don't quite know what's what yet

Always best to wait a year before dealing death and destruction in a
garden! I agree with the Pieris but could the other plant be a Weigela
or even a shrubby Lonicera, I wonder. It certainly doesn't look like
an undesirable.

I think Philadelphus rather than weigelia

Much better bet.

I think Philadelphus rather than weigelia


I'm undecided between Philadelphus and Deutzia
Some stems the leaves are uniformly opposite all the way along the stem
like a Deutzia, whilst on other stems the pairs of leaves alternate like
a Philadelphus.
Confusing.

Main thing is that I now know to leave it for a bit and see if we get
any flowers. Thanks everybody. Much appreciated

Both flower on mature wood.

I noticed today that the leaves are decidedly rough to the touch. Don't
know if that helps at all

Deutzia scabra has scabrid (rough) leaves.

Many thanks. I see it's described as "fuzzy". Yes, that's the word I was
looking for.
