A length of steps lead down from one of the terraces to a wall of bi-folding doors which open to the impressive indoor swimming pool blurring the boundary between the pool house and the garden and offering the perfect leisure environment. Outbuildings comprise a garage/workshop and a conservatory with adjoining store rooms.
