You can go from relaxing on the sofa to socialising in the kitchen as dinner cooks in moments. Doors open onto the garden and wider outside space, allowing the sweet-scented air to flow through and create a sense of being close to nature.

Al fresco meals can be enjoyed on the terrace by your very own private swimming pool. The dining table is partially-covered; providing cooling shade on hot, sunny days as you take in views over the pool and tree-dotted garden.
