Unfortunately I can’t afford house but I would like to recreate an area of my front garden to look like the one in picture 13.

Is it a type of ivy?

But fucking hell, £2.5m for a load of ivy you could have for free down an old railing siding.

Thank you! Don’t know how I missed that! Is it a specific type of ivy or will any old ivy do?

Looks like bog-standard stuff to me – pretty sure you could try it with any ivy you like! Nick a few bits from a derelict building, plonk the stems in rooting powder then in the ground. Disclaimer I am no Monty Don.

Two and a half million for a house that has the feel of a 1960s cutting edge council office?

Strewth. And yes, it's just Ivy

That doesn’t look like bog standard ivy to me. I’ve it down the bottom of the garden and it’s no where near as high as that, or the leaves as big…

It seems taller than ‘normal’ ivy that creeps along the ground.
