Surrounding the pool itself are beautifully designed beds planted with grasses, shrubs and plants, with emphasis on low maintenance. The original spoil from the pool excavation has been sculpted into an earthen bank, which shelters you and gives the whole pool complete privacy. All you have to look out at, is the stunning uninterrupted views.

A lawned area by the pool itself, gives plenty of space for lying out for a spot of sun bathing. Behind this area there is a ‘Boules’ court. Great fun for all the family. To the West, leads you through a wooden gate and the back of the property. Or walking away from the pool area, you are directed up a grassed path which takes you to the wild life pond and around the rest of the grounds.
