Inside Britain’s biggest family the Radford’s swanky garden with bar and hot tub

Mum-of-22 Sue Radford gave her YouTube followers a full tour of the family’s impressive garden at their home in Morecambe, Lancashire, which includes a hot tub and bar outdoors

Mum-of-22 Sue Radford has afforded fans an in-depth tour of her family’s swanky garden, complete with an outdoor bar and hot tub.

The family live in a 10-bed former care home over four floors in Morecambe, Lancashire, and often update their followers with videos on YouTube.

In the latest offering, Sue, 46, started by showing off the children’s play area at the front of the mega property which has swings and a slide.

It’s also where the kids store their bikes, and the family hopes to soon buy a plastic storage facility to put them in, she explained.

“I think that’s going to be next on the to do list,” the busy mum – who runs a bakery alongside husband Noel, 50 – told the camera.

Sue then walked across the artificial lawn in the back garden where the family boasts a collection of luxurious sun loungers, a hot tub, fire pit and bar and adjoining seating area.

She said they are planning to buy a gazebo to put the hot tub in so they can continue to enjoy it now that autumn has arrived.

“I have to say [the hot tub] has just been the best thing ever,” admitted Sue.

“The kids all get so much enjoyment out of that.”

Sue and Noel – who famously don’t rely on any benefits to support their brood – currently have 19 of their kids living under their roof, with many sharing bedrooms.

The two oldest – Chris, 32, and Sophie, 27 – have previously flown the nest.

Their 14th child, Alfie, was sadly stillborn in 2014.

Pointing to the grey seating area with scatter cushions, the mum said: “I just love this area, it’s so nice. You can sit here with a nice cup of coffee in the evening and just chill out when the kids have gone to bed.”

But her favourite spot is the bar.

“This is probably one of my most favourite things in the garden along with the hot tub. It’s just brilliant,” said Sue.

In a previous video last year, Noel had explained how he had built it with the help of daughter Chloe, 26, and son James, 17, during the Covid lockdown.

“It’s just been so brilliant. We just love it,” gushed Sue.

Nicknamed ‘The Lockdown Bar’, it has been decorated with a wind chime and signs, including one that says: “I wine because they wine!”

They also have a barbecue and pizza oven for outdoor dinners.

Sue explained: “This was Aldi’s pizza oven and it is really really good. We’ve had so many nights with the kids making their own pizzas and things so that’s been a massive hit.”

Earlier this year, Sue and Noel began a major DIY project, in which they transformed their garden, including adding an artificial lawn which they vacuum to keep clean.
