The courtyard area between the kitchen and the swimming pool is delineated with clay pavers laid in a traditional herringbone pattern, tying in with the house brick. Seating areas are paved in a warm, honeyed sandstone in coursed rows. A traditional oak pergola is draped with scented climbers: Wisteria, star jasmine and chocolate vine, creating a lovely space to sit underneath even in summer heat.
