An outdoor oasis

The professionally landscaped garden, like the home, is designed to be multifunctional, offering multiple spaces to be used and explored by a variety of people for a range of scenarios.

A patio for relaxation and entertaining features off from the lounge, while the centrally situated water feature, an enchanting rill, leads you down to the back of the garden from the entrance hall and dining room.

At the garden’s heart stands a multi-stem Amelanchier tree, surrounded by four gnarled and ancient olive trees, a place of peace and beauty, ideal for a moment’s quiet calm.

Designed for low maintenance, the planting areas are filled with bulbs, herbaceous perennials, and low-growing grasses, whilst evergreen shrubs are strategically placed to maintain visual interest throughout the changing seasons.

As practical as it is picturesque, the garden also features a comprehensive irrigation system, which connects to both a rainwater harvesting setup, and the mains tap, ensuring sustainable water management. Along the south-facing side of the home, raised planters offer the perfect space for growing your own produce.

On summer nights, the built-in seating around the firepit provides a cosy spot when company calls, whilst for a moment’s peace and quiet, a woodland area under the conifer trees offers a tranquil escape, perfect for relaxing in hammocks.

Double pergolas to the rear of the garden provide a secluded space for sunbathing and enjoying breakfast in the morning sunshine.

A garden for all occasions; for sports and family play, a dedicated multisport astro area adds a dynamic and versatile space, perfect for a variety of activities and ensuring that all ages and affinities are catered for.
