There is also a large lawn area that is very effectively managed by the current owners with the assistance of their super Husqvarna robot lawn mower.  The swimming pool is 12m x 5m and is the centre of the 'leisure area' where there is also a sauna, hot tub and a boules pitch.  In front of the main house is a large terrace area with plenty of space for an enormous table that can accommodate everyone for long, leisurely al fresco meals.
