A van parked in an overgrown garden is actually visible, now the plants have been cut down (Photos: UKNIP)
A heavily overgrown garden that engulfed a house and caused neighbors to complain was finally pruned.
The home in Ramsgate, Kent, made a splash over the weekend because of its unusually lush appearance.
The bushes and vineyards had grown so much that the homeowner could only enter his house through the back door.
The plants had also completely engulfed a van parked in front of the house and spread to nearby properties.
A neighbor says he needs to rebuild his wall because the vegetation has damaged it so badly.
The local postman in the city even stopped delivering letters through the front door of the property, saying that the chaotic garden makes the house “undeliverable”.
But now it seems that new photos show that the garden is significantly pruned.
The van is clearly visible, as well as the alley on which it is parked.

Perhaps most importantly, the front door of the house is actually accessible.
Last week, Thanet’s district council said it was “unable to contact the owner successfully”.
The council also promised to “decide whether it has resorted to any legal enforcement”.
It is unclear whether the owner has finally decided to cut the vegetation because of this threat.
While several locals said they were “disappointed” with the overgrown garden, some stressed that the owner was “very nice – but really a little secluded”.
Neighbor Rena Reeves, 40, said: “(The owner) is a mystery wrapped in bushes. I have lived here for 12 years and it has always been so.
“Some of the vines have started to go to the chimney of the other house and if they get into the masonry, it will not be good.
“He is a very hermit who keeps to himself.”
