back gardens
Behind the house
Back gardens are the outdoor spaces behind houses, primarily in British usage.
Americans would say backyard.
The term suggests a cultivated area rather than just open ground: The children played in the back garden while we had tea.
In British property listings, a back garden is a significant selling point.
