The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to offer a blend of style and practicality, featuring a patio area ideal for alfresco dining, summer barbecues, or simply unwinding with a book. A dedicated space for a hot tub adds a touch of luxury, providing the perfect spot to relax after a day at the beach or to entertain friends in the evening.
