The rear garden is a true sanctuary, meticulously landscaped with a lush lawn, mature trees and vibrant flowerbeds. Designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind, the outdoor space boasts a heated swimming pool, a large terrace, and dedicated seating areas ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.
