Manor house originally refers to a nicely decorated, relatively large house (*smaller than a mansion) with a garden.
Mansions and manor houses were built in the courtyards of palaces during the Ottoman Empire and later were built outside of the palace usually for hunting or summer house purposes.
In history,
Mansions were popular until the end of the 18th century and were commissioned by nobilities who used to live there with their staff. In some cities, these houses were also called “banquet house”. In others they were referred to as the “hunting house”.
In ancient Rome, mansions were generally built with a large garden and a veranda.
Since mansions are described as large villas with a large garden, let’s have a look at the advantages of villas with garden.
Nutrition with Natural Ingredients
Living in a villa surrounded by a large garden inevitably proposes to growing and consuming your own vegetable and fruit. Most likely apples, plums, cherries, pears and peaches or other naturally grown fruit will be part of the daily diet. A hobby garden where vegetables and greenery such as lettuce, onion, tomato, cucumber, beans and aubergines are grown will cover the need of natural vegetable consumption. We are blessed with a variety of useful plants in our country. Anywhere greenery is sighted, there is some vegetation to benefit from. It just takes a conscious mind to see it.
Enjoyable Time
Dealing with the garden, collecting fruits from the trees yourself, rubbing your hands on the soil, watering plants and many other gardening activities will bring lots of joy to your life. You can even increase the pleasure by setting up a hammock under the shadows of trees. Even if it’s just for ten minutes, sleeping in the hammock and listening to birds singing under the shades of the trees will help you relax and relish the moment.
The taste of a relaxed morning of afternoon tea accompanied by your favorite snack or cake at a nicely dressed table under a shade of an umbrella or a tree will linger on for many years.
If your land is big enough and you are keen on gardening, you can eventually turn your hobby into an enterprise.
Feel at One with Nature
Under the circumstances of living in today’s world, stress and anxiety are often on the agenda triggering negative emotions. Feeling at one with nature by gardening, growing trees or other plants, watching all those nice flowers blossoming contributes to let go of all those negative emotions and helps to find our balance again. Even if it is a small garden, being away from the crowd of the city for a moment will take away all the fatigue. Being surrounded by fresh air and plenty of oxygen to breathe in will make you feel more comfortable.
Becoming one with the nature has so many advantages to the mind and general wellbeing that the small disadvantages are usually disregarded. However, let’s not leave the possibility of getting insect bites unmentioned when gardening or being outdoors in the woodlands. Practicing caution and having a spray at hand prevents most of such situations and nothing replaces the joy of being in nature.
Beautiful Views
The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning landscape probably is a cultivated lawn with fields of roses surrounded by an abundance of trees.
A wonderfully landscaped garden adorned with trees, flashy shades of green and the beauty of a variety of dozens of flowers create absolutely wonderful views and the reflection of those on photographs. This is such a wonderful opportunity just to sit and enjoy the amazing landscape. This sight will accompany you with its everlasting beauty whilst sipping your tea, sitting and listening to music or alternatively listening to the sound of nature. This feast of senses surely will contribute to ease the mind.
An Independent Lifestyle
A person living in an apartment is not able to do whatever he wants whenever he wants as he is bound to the rules of collective life. You cannot cause disturbing sounds after a certain time at night, you cannot feed pets in front of the apartment, and when you go up the stairs of the building after midnight, you might feel uncomfortable. A house with a garden enables an independent lifestyle where you can do whatever you want whenever you please.
Perfect for Pets
Unfortunately, caring for pets in apartments or houses without gardens is complicated. Those who already look after animals within the four walls of their apartment will surely know about it. Your pet needs to go outside, but there’s no way to walk them among the crowd of inconsiderate people and rushing cars, you unwillingly keep it at home. In a house with a garden you can create a safe environment keeping both yourself and your pet happy.
Events
If you are a person who likes to entertain you can organize any concept of party at your home with a garden and party as much as you can. Most importantly, you can celebrate special days of your family in your own garden and celebrate all unforgettable moments with them.
