Situated on the site of the former fields of Boughton Heath's market farms sits a secret garden.

"The Fridays", is an idyllic, four bedroomed bungalow hidden from view within a generous plot of land. Developed towards the end of the 1970s, the extensive and exquisite grounds pay homage to its history and to its role of market garden serving the city of Chester.
