Hi, anybody having any idea how in UK we classify gardens as small/
medium/large on the basis of their size? That is, what are approximate
dimensions/sizes of garden to refer it as small/medium/large.

Thanks and Regards,

Very much depends on location. A 1/4 acre garden in the City of London
or Inner London would be considered HUGE whereas the same 1/4 acre in
a rural area would be small.

15 miles from Charing Cross (ie suburbs) the house agents consider
our 1/3rd acre plot 'large' but believe me it isn't big enough !

Oooops...sorry if I missed the point, I was refering to front/rear
gardens of residential homes, which are never so big like 1/2 acres
etc. For example, a garden of approx 25ft X 65ft, can we say it is
medium or large?

Gardens are getting smaller along with the size of houses.
Near us in some new housing the garden is about 4 sq meters, plus a parking
space.

In the old terrace houses the garden was little more than one square meter.

The Estate Agent speak a small garden is "Easily maintained" ;-)

If you are considering the wording for a housing advertisement, the term
"good size" is in common use.
You can easily substantiate this, if questioned, by saying that it is a
suitable size for family occupation ie room for sitting area, play area
flower bed, small lawn etc.
That way you avoid declaring specific and/or relative sizing (almost).

Small means you wish it were bigger; large means you wish it were
smaller or you're putting the property up for sale g

A garden could be classified as small if only one of the neighbours cats
craps in it

Medium is when you catch and swing the cat from the centre of the garden and
on letting go it would reach at least one boundary

Large would be big enough to shoot the cats without anyone seeing you do it

Where I live 25 ft by 65 ft rear garden would be classed as easily managed

I saw, some years back on T.V., some pompous prat saying, "Well, as
far as I am concerned, every garden, no matter how small, should
include at least 7 acres of rough woodland"!

Did Lord Prescot understand this, when he stated that he was going to
build all those millions of homes in the South East? (Just spell checked
this and it wants to change the spelling of his name to prosecute. I
wonder why?)

Oh. I forgot, he can't be made a Lord this week, as Pauline will not let
him have any of the money that she needs to get her hair done for the
weekend. B liar and cherry will have to wait a bit longer for their exit
bunny :-)

Yup 10 acres is a decent sized garden - or a large housing estate,
depending on your POV.

Oh yes they are.

Ive got 1.5 acres here.. Its not that big.

For example, a garden of approx 25ft X 65ft, can we say it is
medium or large?

Id call it a parking space.
