This four-bedroom home in Wales looks like your run-of-the-mill property in a nice town, but you wouldn't think that if you got a chance to see what's lurking behind the fence.
That's entirely thanks to Don Knight, who has transformed the Llantwit Major backyard into an amazing, Japanese-styled garden, complete with a koi pond, mini waterfalls and a pagoda.

The 77-year-old was inspired to get into gardening in the 1950s when he saw an article explain how to grow a Ming tree in grape skin. After a trip to China and Japan, he grew to love their culture and was hooked.
He's told Wales Online that he's spent roughly £40,000 ($52,300) on his garden: "I don't even want to think about my electricity bill - the pond has five pumps.
"On days off I spend 12 hours there. I used to work away from Monday to Friday and as soon as I came back before I went into the kitchen I would go to check my bonsai. I'm in the garden even when it's raining."
Don takes people on tours of the garden to help raise money for charities like Marie Curie and Macmillian. He's been surprised to see people come all the way from Somerset and Ireland.
He adds: "I've had emails saying that the garden is the best [they've] seen. It's not a big garden by any means but it's an interesting garden."

It's an incredible transformation, which is on par with Nick Wilson's one, which is also open to the public to raise funds for the same charities. He's spent roughly £15,000 on his back garden, to turn it into a mini-Amazon.

The project started 20 years ago, when a family trip to Cornwall inspired his love of big plants, and in 1998 the first instalment was made back at his house.
Nick said: "It took 20 years to put it all together. There are so many big ferns, bamboos and big leaf plants down there.
"I had no idea that I liked big, thick enormous plants so much. It was such a difference to soft, fluffy garden plants. It's definitely a bloke's garden."
If you'd had a hectic day, these two gardens would be perfect to get lost in and just relax.
