There’s a gorgeous ornamental garden tucked off a main road in Altrincham

Tucked away off Dunham Road in Altrincham is a tranquil green oasis centred around a beautiful Victorian House. Denzell Gardens is a small but charming ornamental park filled with a range of plants and stunning details.

At the centre of the gardens is Denzell House, which was built in 1874 by Robert Scott. It was bought by wealthy industrialist Samuel Lamb at the start of the 20th Century.

The gardens surrounding the house were transformed under Lamb’s ownership with the help of 16 gardeners. They created landscaped areas, a croquet lawn, tennis court and formal gardens, as well as growing fruits and orchids inside greenhouses.
